I've been also awarded the Drescher Award from my institution for Fall 2025, giving me dedicated writing time free from teaching. I'm incredibly grateful for these opportunities, which are especially valuable for faculty at teaching-intensive institutions.

Arbitrage is becoming an incisive critical concept in platform studies. Time and space are key: research is located. A short thread. Please add what I've missed

"Selling Otherness on YouTube," my latest article, is now available online first in @IJCS_journal! I discuss "global CPM arbitrage"; YouTube's ad system rewards content targeting wealthier countries with higher ad rates, incentivizing creators to cater to those audiences.

ChatGPT가 유난히 선호하는 "delve"라는 단어의 출처에 대한 기사. RLHF를 외주 준 나이지리아를 비롯한 아프리카에서 흔히 쓰는 단어라고! 인건비가 싼 나라의 영어 스타일로 전세계의 영어 스타일이 옮겨가고 있는 재미있는 현상. theguardian.com/technology/2…

Excited to share that my article, "Economies of Difference and Identity-based Content on a Digital Platform," is now published online in Television & New Media! I examine the utilization of identity in digital content creation through the case study of "Emily in Korea" on TikTok.

Utilizing this identity-based content, I argue how it can serve as a space for power negotiation between dominant and non-dominant identities, while also functioning as a means to build a self-brand in the attention economy.

Thanks to @NatComm’s Cultivation Grant, I conducted an exciting field study in Korea this summer. I had engaging conversations with door-to-door saleswomen and visited the Amorepacific Archive, which houses amazing documents showcasing the history of the K-beauty industry.

OpenAI marshaled a global pipeline of human labor for 2 years to enable ChatGPT & GPT-4 to exist. Workers who dealt with the worst parts are still suffering PTSD more than a year later. My story with @dseetharaman out today on the front page of @WSJ. wsj.com/articles/chatgpt-ope…

Could AI be the future of gaming accessibility? @geoffreyreads finds reasons for optimism in “an explicitly assistive implementation of AI, as opposed to those often touted as making human input redundant." wired.com/story/ai-make-gami…
