Jeong Taek (JT) Lim (he/him) is a PhD student in sociology at the University at Albany. His research draws on international migration and urban sociology, focusing on the corporate dynamics that shape ethnic settlement in new immigrant destinations in both the US and the Global South. Lim’s passion for this field stems from his personal experiences as a South Korean who has lived in both Vietnam and the United States, allowing him to develop comparative insights into Korean diasporas across different social and geographical contexts. His forthcoming co-authored publication explores the unique migration dynamics in the Global South, specifically Vietnam, and their impact on the ethnic identities of Korean-Vietnamese multicultural adolescents.
