Bio:
Hyorim studied Korean literature and English literature at Seoul National University, where she got her BA and MA. Now as a PhD student at UW-Madison, she is focusing on contemporary Asian/Asian American literature and cultural productions. Her eyes are on the atmosphere—affect and vibe; aerial and viral contagion; circulation, transportation, and transmission of/between bodies and material; and migratory and diasporic mid-air experiences and their representations.
