FIELDS OF INTEREST Immigration; Urban Sociology and Community Studies; Race and Ethnicity; Asian and Asian American Studies; Ethnography and Qualitative Methods; Gender and Family; Education; Transnationalism CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS New Immigrant Growth Machines: The Politics of Redevelopment in Koreatown and Monterey Park (co-P.I. Sookhee Oh, University of Kansas City-Missouri and Jan Lin, Occidental College). Funded by the National Science Foundation, the project explores how immigrants have stimulated and managed the entrepreneurial growth of two globalizing ethnic economies in Koreatown and Monterey Park, Los Angeles. Our general aim is to understand how immigrant leaders (e.g. entrepreneurs, land developers, global investors, and economic development organizations) have worked to promote their economic growth agenda in the local governments and civic institutions of the LA metropolitan region amidst suburbanization, political barriers, and economic recessions. We ask how their development strategies are shaped by the local political, spatial, and demographic context of the ethnic economy and compare how their impact is being felt across different ethnic enclaves. “Globalizing” Higher Education in the Knowledge Economy: A Case Study on South Korea and Mainland China. The project examines how the social, national and historical contexts of global education in different East Asian countries have informed student understandings of international education and affected the academic and social preparedness of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese

international students at the University at Albany. I am also interested in exploring how the so-called "globalization" of higher education in Seoul, South Korea restructures power dynamics in the educational system of rapidly modernizing nations like Korea. The general objective of this study is first to determine how these concurrent reforms have restructured classroom dynamics and the broader university power structure through new hierarchies based on “English language capital.” PUBLICATIONS BOOKS: Angie Y.
