About Hyojin
Hi, my name is Hyojin Seo, and I'm currently a Post-doctoral Researcher for a Horizon Europe project EqualHouse at the Department of Sociology, Tilburg University in the Netherlands. Previously, I've worked in KU Leuven (BE), University of Kent (UK) and Ewha Womans University (KR). I have a PhD in Social Policy from the University of Kent, UK.
My research interest aims to understand the precariousness in work and labour market and how the institutions (e.g., social policy) shape such labour market patterns both in Europe and East Asia. Recently, I have been looking into housing inequalities/precariousness and subjective precariousness. I am specifically interested in its intersection with gender, understanding precariousness and social policy with gender lens. My research is interdisciplinary and uses wide range of methods.
