助教授
Jieun Cho is a cultural anthropologist of contemporary Japan and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Japanese Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). She received her Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from Duke University. Her research focuses on how people live through environmental uncertainty as it intersects with social, material, and bodily precarity. Her current book project examines how families and communities care for biologically vulnerable children in risky environments and reimagine what it means to make life in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Before joining CUHK, she was a Postdoctoral Associate in Asian Climate and Environments at Duke University. Prior to academia, she worked in the IT and energy industries in Korea and Japan.
