Jun Hui is a Ph.D. student in Government. She studies comparative and historical political economy, with a focus on inequality and democracy. She is the coauthor of Unequal Democracy in South Korea (in Korean, with Hyeok Yong Kwon). Her current interests include how spatial inequality shaped by economic transitions and segregation has polarized legislatures, how institutions influence the composition of the welfare state, the politics of taxing diversified assets, and the link between varieties of modern state formation and growth regimes.
Jun Hui holds bachelor’s degrees in sociology, economics, and history, and an M.A. in political science from Korea University, where her thesis comprised essays on postwar economic transitions, electoral politics, and the welfare state using machine learning methods. She is a Rupert Emerson Fellow in the Department of Government and a fellow of the Korean Foundation for Advanced Studies.
