Author Information

Minjae Shin is an early-career researcher in migration studies affiliated with the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies (SPAIS) at the University of Bristol. Her broader research interests focus on the gendered dimensions of migration, migration infrastructures, nationhood, and gender ideologies. Her work explores how diverse institutions both facilitate mobility and influence collective perceptions of migrants, and how these dynamics intersect with broader questions of nationhood, gender, and migrant experiences in Asian contexts. She is currently developing a project on mixed-heritage youth in South Korea, examining how they negotiate nationhood and masculinity through their encounters with state institutions, particularly military conscription.
