hi, i am
Eunki Joung. I am a prospective PhD student in HCI, Care, and Ethnography.
I was advised by Prof. Uichin Lee at the Interactive Computing Lab, KAIST, where I recieved M.S. and B.S. in Computing.
Please see my CV and a selected list of writings.
As a researcher, I am interested in the following broad questions:
- Whose voices are invisible?
- How can we bring those invisible voices to public spheres1?
- What should those public spheres look like?
My work has been presented at CSCW and in workshops at CHI and CSCW.
I served on the Student & Minority Human Rights Committee of the Undergraduate Student Council and worked as a trained peer counselor at KAIST.
some readings that have influenced my reseach journey (not exclusive)
- Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity, Erving Goffman
Marginalization embedded in social interactions
- Human, Place, Hospitality, Hyun Kyung Kim
Imagining ‘absolute hospitality,’ based on Goffman’s analysis.
- Poverty as Process: The Arrangement of Poverty and the Anthropology of the Vulnerable Lives, Mun Young Jo
My favorite ethnography
- The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces, William H. Whyte
How placemaking can enact alternative social interactions
- When Species Meet, Donna J. Haraway
Cum panis, or the multispeices (humans, robots, and other critters) who care each other
- Momo, Michael Ende
Listening and alternative temporalities
good bye …
Or, check my winter.

Some people may realize Jürgen Habermas’s theory when I say ‘public spheres.’ I think that can be a good start to share my hope of genuine and inclusive communication, but I am not an expert on his theory yet. Thus, please do not think of it as a rigorous use of ‘public sphere,’ if you are knowledgeable about that concept. Also, I intentionally used a plural form of ‘public spheres’ because I think there can be multiple forms of public spheres working well in particular contexts, which I hope to explore. ↩
