Description
Today I talk about technologies of COVID surveillance and control in South Korea and China with Youngrim Kim and Yuchen Chen.
Youngrim Kim is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Communication and Media at the University of Michigan, and a Rackham predoctoral fellow. She is interested in the social, cultural, and political implications of disaster information technologies in East Asia. She is currently writing a dissertation that examines South Korea’s technologically-driven infectious disease governance throughout the 2015 MERS Epidemic to the current COVID-19 pandemic, and how it relates to the issues of national identity, marginalization, and civic participation in crisis situations.
Yuchen Chen is a third-year PhD student at Communication and Media at the University of Michigan. Her research looks at the transnational flow of technology, knowledge, labor, and capital and how it relates to social experiments in China.
