About me

I’m Minah KANG (pronounced “Mee-nah”; 강민아).

I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at Johns Hopkins University, currently based in Baltimore, Maryland.

My work has been shaped as much by classrooms and archives as by a life lived across Korea, Japan, and the United States—experiences that continue to inform how I think about place, mobility, region, and political belonging. I studied at Ewha Womans University before moving to Johns Hopkins University for doctoral training in political science.

Outside of academia, I love hiking, designing maps, and making pasta (not necessarily from scratch).
