Analyzing Online Migration Forums
In contemporary migration studies, online forums are common spaces where people exchange information and seek advice about international migration. This methods note introduces the Reddit community r/IWantOut as a data source for studying migration aspirations and presents a validated natural language processing (NLP) pipeline for analyzing it. The forum's community rules require posters to encode age, gender, origin, and intended destinations in…
Understanding Double Stigma Toward Minority Groups on Social Media in the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study aims to compare social perceptions of four minority groups in South Korea categorized by religion, sexual orientation, and occupation. Using data collected from Naver News, a prominent Korean website, between February and June 2020, dynamic topic modeling was conducted on over 200,000 data points. The findings revealed that stigma-related topics such as labeling, negative stereotypes, separation, and status loss emerged in discussions …

While there are many studies across different fields of immigrant transnationalism, there are a few that analyze the experience of Korean immigrants social transnationalism. Analyzing a survey of 507 Korean immigrants in the New York-New Jersey area, this study aims to understand (1) the frequency of their engagement in broad (e.g., contact with family and friends in the home country) and narrow social transnationalism (e.g., visit the home count…
Factors Associated with Korean Immigrants' Medical Tourism to the Homeland
Except for social transnational ties, other types of transnational ties with the home country were marginally related to Korean immigrants' medical tourism. Surprisingly, their health insurance status itself, which is assumed to be important, was not statistically associated with medical tourism. Although this study has the limitation of analyzing a convenience sample, it contributes to the literature on immigrant transnationalism and immigrant h…
Major Payoffs
Although the bachelor's degree is considered the 'great equalizer,' returns vary substantially by field of study, particularly in the years immediately following graduation. In the first section of our analysis, we study the varying labor market experiences of recent graduates with different majors. We build on prior research by more fully accounting for the complicating role of graduate school attendance in the relationship between majors and in…
First-generation Korean immigrants' barriers to healthcare and their coping strategies in the US
The Diversity of Asian Immigrants' Participation in Religious Institutions in the United States
Social scientific studies of new immigrants' religious practices over the last 30 years have been based largely on ethnographic research on immigrant religious institutions. Two major themes emerging from these studies are that (1) non-Christian religious institutions have been transformed in the U.S. context, following the Protestant congregational model, and (2) immigrant religious institutions mainly serve ethnicity and social-service function…
The concentration of Asian Americans in STEM and health-care occupations
This article examines the concentration of Asian Americans in the STEM and health-care fields of study and occupations by generation, ethnic group and gender, compared to white Americans, based on the 2009-11 American Community Surveys. By making a generational comparison, it suggests that the selective migration of Asian immigrants is the most important factor to their concentration in these fields of study and occupations. Asian immigrants as a…
