INTRODUCTION
After teaching at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, for about 7 years, I joined the CSULA recently in 2006. I teach as an Assistant Professor of Sociology and am also involved in the Center for Korean and Korean American Studies here at CSULA (currently nominated as an Associate Director). I am committed to furthering the esteemed legacy of research excellence in CSULA and providing quality education and mentorship to all CSULA students. Students are cordially invited to my office for all issues of interest to them, including but not limited to intellectual discussions and your career plans.

RESEARCH
My research interests include rational choice, social networks, identify formation, collective action and social movements, political sociology of democracy. I have published in various internally acclaimed academic journals, including American Sociological Review, American Journal of Sociology and European Sociological Review. I am also a co-winner of the First Place Winner of the 2004 Best Article Competition Award by the Collective Behavior and Social Movements Section of the American Sociological Association.
My current research projects include modeling the micro dynamics and structural conditions for the diffusion of ideas in such historical movements of the Reformation, East German Revolution, the 1960 Sit-in Movement; understanding the motivation for and consequences of self-immolation in Korea; theorizing how values and identities are formed and affect individual behavior and choice with a special focus on ethnic identification by second-generation Korean Americans; and examining the economic and cutural foundations for democracy in developing countries.
