Long Bio
Seoyoung Lim is a PhD student in the Educational Policy and Evaluation program at Arizona State University. Across K–12 and higher education, she investigates how inequality and normativity are structured in educational spaces and how they shape individual experiences. At the same time, she places equal importance on exploring possibilities for dismantling oppressive structures and identifying strategies for promoting equity. Understanding these complexities in inequality and inequity involves examining causes, consequences, mechanisms, and interventions, as well as identifying their trends and patterns. Accordingly, mainly using quantitative methods, she also employs qualitative and mixed methods to best explain phenomena.
By integrating insights shaped by her professional experiences—from the broad scope of international education administration to the close engagement in teaching in classrooms—with her sociological perspective, she focuses on the interaction between macro- and micro-level dynamics throughout her research.
