Biography
Da In Choi (she/her) is a PhD candidate in Gender Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research examines the politics of home and family through the narratives produced by singmo (domestic servants) in South Korea. Singmo’s perspectives critique the home and family as a simultaneous site of social stratification and social mobility opportunities that shape and are informed by socio-political inequalities and postcolonial histories of development. Her work on gender, domestic work, and social reproduction has been published or is forthcoming in the Journal of Women’s History, Verge: Studies in Global Asia and Yŏsŏng Iron (Feminist Theory in Korean).
