Biography
I spent the first 10 years of my life in South Korea (1977-1987), and then the next 18 in Canada (1987-2005) where I completed my undergraduate and postgraduate studies (including a PhD in Social Psychology). My first academic job was in the Netherlands (2005-2008). I've been working and living in Bristol since 2008.

Teaching
I teach social psychology on the BSc programme, the associated MSci programmes, and the MSc Conversion programme, covering topics ranging from basic social perception to political psychology. I also supervise research projects in the area of social psychology and sustainable behaviour. In addition to delivering lectures and running seminars, I am always happy to chat with students about these topics and related issues.
