Bio/Research
I am a historian and curator specializing in East Asian studies at Laurier Brantford. For over 15 years, I served as a Curatorial Consultant and Research Associate at the Royal Ontario Museum, where I also worked as the guest curator for the museum’s Korea Gallery. My work extends to community-focused curation, having organized numerous exhibits exploring Brantford's rich immigration history. As a digital humanist, my current research project explores a world of everyday poetic networks through a a multilingual Linked Open Database of classical Korean poetry discourses (sihwa).
Since 2022, I have served as President of the Canadian Industrial Heritage Centre and Director of the Laurier Hub for Community Solutions, fostering innovative collaborations between the university and the broader community.
My academic work has focused on the investigation of various cultural and intellectual developments in East Asia and beyond. My research interests encompass art, literature and cultural history of East Asia, digital humanities, and game studies. My recent research examines poetry games in both classical literature of premodern Korea and digital literature of contemporary South Korea. My current SSHRC-funded research is entitled "Discovering a World of Everyday Poetic Networks: A Multilingual Linked Open Data Archive of Classical Korean Poetry Talks." I have recently completed a SSHRC-funded research, “Comparative Spatial Histories of Brantford’s Early Immigrant Communities (1900-1920): A Deep Mapping and Digital Storytelling Project.”
