Welcome! My name is Joung Yeob, but everyone just calls me Joung. I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Economics and Finance at Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea.
My main research interests are in economic history and political economy, with a current focus on immigration and culture in the early 20th century U.S. I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pittsburgh in 2024.
