📝 New article out in Communication Theory. In it, I define practices, a term studies often use without operationalising, as things we do for a reason with specific others, driven by certain knowledge, values, and supported and constrained by language and material environments doi.org/10.1093/ct/q...

Now that KakaoTalk’s new update has turned it into a pseudo social media feed (to much chagrin from users), I have yet to figure out the correct way to interact. My younger cousin liked my new profile but hers is from a year ago. Am I allowed to like it back, or will she think I’m weird/old?

Join us for a roundtable reflecting on the decade since Feminism Reboot (2015), a turning point in feminist and queer politics and scholarship in South Korea. Together, we’ll reflect on what has shifted, what has stalled, and what futures we might imagine.
