Understanding coping and social support among U.S. college students during the pandemic
This exploratory study examined U.S. college students’ ( N = 1003) self-reported coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic, perceived impact of the pandemic on social support, and their associations with perceived physical and mental health. Participants were recruited from 146 institutions across the U.S. in years 2020–2023. Both quantitative and write-in data were collected, with the latter inductively coded to identify common coping strat…
Serving diaspora in the homeland
This study examines the culinary entrepreneurship of Korean American 'returnees' in Seoul's food and beverage industry, paying special attention to the identitarian and meaning-making impetuses and consequences that emerge in the production of Asian American food in Seoul. Utilizing in-depth interviews and ethnographic fieldwork, this study finds that 'returnees' emphasize their 'cosmopolitan Koreanness' in marketing their ventures and products a…
Nostalgic for the unfamiliar
This article addresses and attempts to reconcile the epistemological divide in recent return migration scholarship (e.g. diasporic return vs. ancestral homeland migration). Relying on interviews conducted with 1.5/2nd-generation Korean American returnees’, this study finds that an orientation toward the Korean peninsula and an abstracted Korean-ness serves as one of the central motivations for their migration to South Korea. I argue that this ori…
Discursive footwork on the hardwood
Using The Players' Tribune, we interpret how NBA players discuss race within a racialized sporting organisation that is celebrated and marketed as cosmopolitan and a model for social engagement. We find that during the Black Lives Matter movement players draw on and move between varied visions of sport, the NBA, and its relationship to race. Players reject post-racial conceptions of sport and society and highlight the realities of structural raci…
Ethics of patriotism
This article traces debates about African American professional football players' protests during the national anthem. After reviewing over 400 media texts, we found that each side operates from mirrored ethical positions that lead to competing conceptions of patriotism. We use the term 'patriarchal patriotism' for people opposed to the protests since they hold that institutions of authority protect citizens, and therefore citizens owe them loyal…
Racing “return
Despite the growing body of research on ethnic return migrants originating from the U.S., few have situated this practice within sociological framings of U.S. race relations or immigrant assimilation. Through in-depth qualitative interviews with 56 Korean American ethnic return migrants, this article demonstrates the manner in which their desires to relocate to an ancestral homeland are intricately linked to their racialization and ethnic identit…
Negotiating Masculinity across Borders
Recent studies of ethnic return migration have explained why (economic, political, and affective) and where (Asia and Europe) this phenomenon has primarily occurred. Of the research available, however, few have examined the manner in which framings and practices of gender impact the experiences of those who participate in these transnational sojourns. This study fills this void by examining how Korean American male ethnic return migrants understa…
Introducing K-Town
This article examines representations of Koreatown provided by three contemporary television/web programs: Ktown Cowboys (2009), K-Town (2012–13), and Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (2013). I argue that the act of consumption by second-generation Korean Americans is deployed centrally in each program, albeit for considerably different purposes. In Ktown Cowboys and K-Town, consumption by second-generation Korean Americans serves to validate thei…
