🎉 My Second Publication of the Year (2025)!
My article, “The Sectarian Divide: The Dynamics of Populism in South Korea,” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of East Asian Studies. This study investigates how mainstream political parties in South Korea have increasingly employed sectarian populist rhetoric—especially during elections and periods in opposition—drawing on a decade-long analysis of party statements (2012–2022) using large language models (LLMs). I am honored to contribute to the growing scholarship on populism and democratic stability in third-wave democracies.

🌟 Summer Research Grant Awarded!
I'm honored to share that I have been awarded a Summer Research Grant from Mount St. Mary’s University to support my ongoing project on AI-driven populism classification. The grant will fund access to large language models (LLMs), research assistants for code validation, software tools, and participation in a professional conference. This support will help advance my work toward publication on how artificial intelligence can be leverageda to systematically classify and analyze global populist rhetoric.
