About

I am a professor of Korean language and linguistics in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures (EALL) ​at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (UHM). My research focuses on two interrelated fields: interactional linguistics and ​interaction-based language pedagogy. I investigate the intricate relationship between language and social interaction ​observed in everyday and institutional settings. I am the recipient of the 2017 College of Languages, Linguistics, and ​Literature Junior/Mid-Career Faculty Excellence in Scholarship & Research Award and the 2023 Presidential Citation ​for Meritorious Teaching Award at UHM. Additional details are available on my CV.
