Juwon Lee

Juwon Lee is currently a Ph.D. student in the Anthropology department. He received his B.A. in Comparative Studies (Comparative Ethnic and American Studies specialization) and M.A. in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Ohio State University. As a feminist scholar who engages with queer people of color critique and anti-colonial/Third-World feminisms, he researches race, gender, and sexuality, coloniality, and belonging. His previous research mainly discussed transnational and global politics of queerness in South Korea. He is currently interested in how the concept of ‘race’ travels and develops in South Korean queer spaces. He is also thinking about the relations between public transportation (particularly railways and the metro system), infrastructure, neoliberal economy, cityscape, and urban space-making.
