Current research explores the design of transparent information policies to mitigate information inequality while preserving efficiency and welfare gains. The lab also examines the interplay between information precision, individual heterogeneity, and economic performance in decentralized economies.
Professor Jennifer Sun's research lab specializes in clinical and health psychology, with a primary focus on understanding the psychological and behavioral factors underlying problematic alcohol use among young adults. The lab investigates cognitive vulnerabilities such as maladaptive schemas, coping styles, and internalizing symptoms like depression and social anxiety in relation to different drinking patterns—particularly binge drinking, solitary drinking, and social drinking. Using a combination of standardized assessments and longitudinal data, the lab aims to identify risk factors and inform targeted prevention and intervention strategies for alcohol use disorders.
Professor Si-Oh Do-Joon Yoo’s research lab specializes in critical cultural studies, digital humanities, and visual narrative, with a focus on the socio-political dimensions of everyday life, memory, and representation in modern and contemporary Korea. The lab explores how material culture, such as human waste and urban spaces, reflects broader historical transformations, particularly under colonial and post-colonial conditions. It also investigates emerging media forms—such as reportage comics, video games, and graphic novels—as sites of political dissent, identity formation, and transnational cultural exchange. Through interdisciplinary and practice-based methodologies, the lab integrates digital data modeling, multimodal translation studies, and ethnographic research to examine the intersections of literature, memory, and visual culture.
Professor Loren Goodman’s research lab in English focuses on the intersection of dreams, poetry, and cultural transformation, exploring how dream imagery and visionary experience shape literary expression across historical and socio-political contexts. His work investigates dream literature as a distinct literary subgenre, with particular attention to modern and contemporary American, British, and East Asian poetry. The lab examines how dreams function as sites of psychological, social, and moral integration—bridging unconscious and conscious thought, individual and collective identity, and past and present. Central to the lab’s inquiry is the role of poetic imagination in responding to rapid social change, as seen in works by Coleridge, Langston Hughes, and Korean conception dreams.
Professor Na Rim Kim’s research lab in English focuses on critical race theory, magical realism, and environmental humanities, with an emphasis on how literature from the 19th century to the present reimagines trauma, identity, and human-animal relationships. The lab explores how marginalized voices—particularly Black, queer, and female writers—use speculative and sentimental modes to challenge dominant historical narratives and foster ethical consciousness. Key directions include the ethics of pet keeping in American children’s literature, the subversion of patriarchal magical realism, and the role of wonder in environmental and racial justice. The lab also investigates how literary adaptations reveal hidden queerness and anti-heteronormative critiques in canonical texts.
