CMS Grad Student Chosen for Fulbright
Samantha James, Ph.D. candidate in Communication Studies, has been chosen for a Research Fulbright in Korea.
In Seoul, the birthplace of K-pop, fans from around the world gather for both official and fan-made events and demonstrate how their shared passion drives collective action. With support from the Fulbright Research Award, Sam James will spend 10 months in Seoul conducting participant ethnography and in-depth interviews to understand how globalization and emerging technologies influence the contradiction between shame and pride in this comparative study of K-pop fan organizing in the US and South Korea.
