Rethinking Delayed Marriage and Fertility Decline in East Asia
In this article, we review existing literature on delayed marriage and declining fertility in East Asia, and propose an intersectional framework that situates demographic change within economic constraints, gendered institutions, and sociopolitical transformations. Building on existing economic, demographic, and sociological studies, we argue that bringing intersectional perspectives, linking gender inequality, feminist politics, and generational…
From Childless Intentions to Motherhood
While literature often frames fertility decisions as individual economic choices, the subtle influence of kinship ties is underexplored. This study examines how married South Korean women, who initially intended to be childfree, later reconsider childbearing, influenced by extended kin networks. Drawing on five focus group discussions with 33 married Korean women who initially intended to remain childfree, we identify a shift toward childbearing …
Narrating Gender (Un)Fairness
This study examines how young South Korean men construct narratives of gender (un)fairness by employing intergenerational comparisons within the broader context of meritocratic neoliberal restructuring and intergenerational inequality. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 31 young men, the analysis reveals that participants interpret contemporary gender conflicts as a zero-sum economic struggle, while simultaneously mobilizing intergenerational co…
I feel like I’m yours, but I’m not yours’
This article examines how young female college students interpret their practice of sseom – a stage that precedes a committed romantic relationship – which remains indefinite and idiosyncratic for themselves and others. I analyze 40 in-depth interviews with female college students about their narrations of such romantic relationships, to identify account strategies that young individuals use to explain their participation in the practice. I found…
“I Am A Feminist, But . . .” Practicing Quiet Feminism in the Era of Everyday Backlash in South Korea
In this study, we investigate the practice of feminism among young South Korean women in the era of backlash. Drawing on interviews with 40 female college students in South Korea, we found that most of the participants self-identify as feminists who engage in feminist activities primarily in private offline settings on their college campuses. To understand this phenomenon of quiet feminism, which contradicts the global trend of postfeminist attit…

Marriage migrant women’s friendship formation in South Korea
Despite the substantial research on marriage migrant women in Korea documenting the challenges they experience as they adapt to Korean society, little is known about their relationships outside of families. To fill the gap, this study examines how marriage migrant women make friends, especially focusing on the concepts of intra-ethnic and inter-ethnic friendship. Our findings suggest that marriage migrant women are likely to form close relationsh…
Censoring Speech in Democracies
In South Korea, both conservatives and progressives restrict allegedly harmful speech, claiming to protect democracy and individual rights. Conservatives restrict "pro-communist" and pro-LGBT speech, while progressives target racist slurs and especially "far-right" speech supporting Japanese colonial (1910-1945) or anti-communist (1948-1987) regimes. These controversial restrictions contribute to a global debate among proponents of liberal-democr…
Transculturality, Anti-Asian Racism and Student Mobility
The breakout and spread of the SARS-COV-2/COVID-19 virus in early 2020 caused a drastic increase in blatant racism and microaggressions against Asians/people of Asian descent. The rise of anti-Asian racism can be viewed as a repeat of a century-long narrative of Yellow Peril against Asian newcomers in western societies. While some reports/studies explained the phenomenon with the hegemony of race relations, it is imperative to examine the experie…
Work–faith integration in the neoliberal age
Prior studies on work–faith integration have only explained professionals’ negotiation of religious and professional identities within one occupational setting, overlooking how the negotiation diverges in the soaring force of neoliberal regime that intersects with gendered workplace culture. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Korean evangelical women professionals, the article demonstrates how women, proportionately more religious than men, arri…
Remaking ethnic nationalism
Researchers have argued that religion has direct and indirect connections with nationalism, and they have called for conceptual clarity about the role of religion in the construction of nationalism. I extend the insights of this scholarship into reevaluating the alteration of ethnic nationalism in Korea. Drawing on interviews with evangelical Protestant women attending a megachurch in Seoul, this study explores who evangelical women are willing t…
The impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on motivation to stay
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted international students due to unexpected changes in policies and regulations regarding their visa status and immigration, travel restrictions, and heightened scrutiny against foreigners. Such changes potentially disrupt and affect international students’ post-graduation migration plan: whether they decide to go back to their home country or stay in Canada and apply for permanent residency. Thi…
Men Who Wear Make-up
Scholars have debated whether hybrid masculinities perpetuate or challenge male dominance and power. This study advances such dialogue by unveiling the kernel of hybrid masculinities through careful examination of young Korean men's narratives on how to manage appearance and dressing up, especially on wearing make-up. Findings suggest that young men narrate three approaches, namely, expressive, instrumental, and meritocratic, as a means to explai…

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to understand COVID-19 information seeking among Korean immigrant women in comparison to their flu/cold information seeking. In particular, the study aimed to examine: (1) the levels of information sought regarding both COVID-19 and the flu/cold, and (2) the content of information discussed at each level. Methods: We analyzed the posts on Missy USA--one of the largest Korean online communities for married…
Evangelical Protestant Women's Views on Homosexuality and LGBT Rights in Korea
Much scholarly attention has been devoted to understanding the demographic, religious, and socio-economic factors that may lead to homonegativity. However, little is known about how and why people oppose homosexuality and LGBT rights. To fill this gap, this work examines how heterosexual religious mothers perceive homosexuality and LGBT rights focusing on the role of indigenous culture. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 30 evangelical Protes…
Transnational logic of gratitude
Scholarship on marriage migrants has examined the impact of class and gender ideology of receiving countries on their marital satisfaction. However, little is known about the role of transnational background in explaining women's feelings of gratitude for husbands. Drawing on qualitative in-depth interviews with marriage migrant women residing in the eastern side of Seoul, Korea, this article explores the micro-level cognitive processes in unders…
Bridging sociology of religion to transition to adulthood
The sociology of religion has not systematically explored the emerging roles of religion in the whole process of the transition to adulthood, especially in the changing contexts of delayed and complicated transitions to adulthood. Seeking to bridge the two different fields of sociology, we identify four directions of research: (1) a multidimensional approach that identifies the different dimensions of religion with varying degrees of relationship…
Understanding community responses to tourism gentrification in Seochon Village in South Korea
Drawing on qualitative interviews with residents in Seochon Village, South Korea, this study investigates the conditions by which residents could develop community attachments and could therefore lead to collective action to safeguard the village. The results of this study suggest that the common identities of residents as parents of children in the village; social capital promoted by activities, events, and shared spaces; and the cultural capita…

Mothers and nation in the global era
Despite scholarly work examining mothers' roles in nation-building, few studies have investigated how religion plays a role in the process. Comparing two groups of evangelical Protestant mothers, namely, transnational and domestic mothers, this study argues that religion powerfully shapes mothers' understanding of multiculturalism but only alongside their cosmopolitan experiences. Drawing on in-depth interviews with evangelical mothers originatin…

Evangelical Christian Discourse in South Korea on the LGBT
Gay Seouls
What Protestant congregations offer spaces for worship and dialogue among persons with different sexual orientations? The academic literature finds or assumes that non-heterosexuals are stigmatized or invisible in theologically conservative congregations and are welcomed in progressive, affirming congregations. This article develops an alternative claim that some conservative or evangelical congregations offer attractive spaces for non-heterosexu…
Debating Multicultural Korea
Since the early 1990s, South Korea has experienced growing public debate about migrants, minorities and related government policies. Much of this ‘multicultural’ discourse occurs in the internet-based cyber-media, which offer space for various producers, including mainstream media professionals, netizens and resident foreigners. A prevailing discourse of victimhood is associated with small, ideologically homogeneous groups of media producers (mai…

Household Structure and Suburbia Residence in U.S. Metropolitan Areas
Suburbs have demographically diversified in terms of race, yet little research has been done on household structures in suburbs. Using the 2011 American Housing Survey and 2009–2013 American Community Survey, this study investigates the distributions of household structures in suburbia and central cities, and the relationship between household structures and residential attainment. The findings of this research include: (1) The distribution of ho…
Does Transnational Experience Constrain Religiosity? Korean Evangelical Women's Discourse on LGBT Persons
A large literature studies the views and discourses of Western, and especially American, conservative Christians with respect to homosexuality; only a few examine the discourse of Christians in non-Western countries, and none focuses on non-Western Christians with advanced, overseas education and careers. This paper examines the discourse of South Korean Evangelical women with overseas, educational or career experiences. I draw on 15 in-depth int…

The Identity Strategy of "Wild-Geese" Fathers
Transnational migration scholarship has discussed parents' economic and emotional sacrifice for their children as a justification for separation. However, the researchers have overlooked addressing how the parents' sacrifice is culturally ingrained, and fathers in the homeland construct their identity embedded in local culture. This article fills the gap by analyzing the experiences of Korean transnational fathers, "wild-geese fathers", who live …

Public Discourses About International Students
A growing, English‐language literature analyzes the public discourse of international education and students. One large set of studies highlight the discursive marginalization of non‐western, international students in western, host societies. They draw on critical discourse analysis (CDA) and meta‐narratives of western, White, and elite dominance, which diminish the theoretical importance of discourse in non‐western and non‐elite settings. A seco…

Korean media discourse on international education
This paper analyses the representation of international education in the Korean print media, by comparing texts produced by the leading conservative (Chosun) and progressive (Hankyoreh) newspapers in 1997 and 2014 (N = 271 articles). We find a major expansion and diversification of media articles on international education, including rising numbers of articles mentioning non-traditional destinations (beyond USA and UK), written or shaped by non-t…
