About me

I’m Minah Kang (pronounced “Mee-nah”)—a scholar of international relations working at the intersection of security studies, global historical sociology, postcolonial studies and political geography.

I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at Johns Hopkins University, currently based in Baltimore. My academic journey began at Ewha Womans University, where I received my BA and MA, and is deeply informed by my upbringing in Korea and Japan.

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