Experience

Award and Recognition

Yujin Julia Jung, a doctoral candidate in political science at the University of Missouri Truman School of Government and Public Affairs, has had no shortage of research topics to choose from. An international scholar from Seoul, South Korea, Jung examines populism and comparative communication and has a strong interest in machine learning and text analysis.

She recently received the Robert N. Epsten Scholarship in International Studies from the Harry S. Truman Good Neighbor Award Foundation, a $10,000 award given to an exceptional graduate student majoring in the fields of international relations, public service, political science, diplomacy, history or the humanities. She plans to use the funds to do field research on populism in Asia. (Marcus Wilkins, "A passion for politics", 2022)
