Sejin Um

Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in Sociology at New York University. 

I study sociology of work, organizations, culture, gender, and family using qualitative methods. My dissertation project uses in-depth interviews to examine how young, white-collar office workers in large conglomerate firms (chaebol) in Korea experience and evaluate their organizational lives and craft divergent career trajectories. I also work on topics of work and family in the U.S. context.

My work has appeared in Gender, Work & Organization and Social Sciences. Prior to NYU, I received my MA from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and BA from Korea University, Seoul.
