Sexuality & Everyday Life
How sexuality becomes part of ordinary life through disclosure, concealment, recognition, and social negotiation.
My work examines how people inhabit social worlds that do not fully recognize their relationships, desires, and forms of belonging.
Trained in sociocultural anthropology, I conduct ethnographic research on gay men’s everyday lives, urban nightlife, performance, and emerging forms of kinship in South Korea. My research approaches sexuality not only through identity or discrimination, but through embodied practice, place, materiality, and ordinary social relations.
