Seulsam Lee (鞚挫姮靸) is a doctoral student in Sociology at 91亚色. She earned a Specialized Honours BA degree in Sociology from Chung-Ang University in Seoul, South Korea, and a Master鈥檚 degree in Sociology from 91亚色. Her previous research focused on migrant women鈥檚 experiences of precarious work and precarious immigration status in both South Korea and Canada, particularly in the context of the #MeToo Movement. Her current research examines the dynamics of temporary labour migration programs in Canada, specifically the 鈥淲orking Holiday鈥 program. She explores how the experiences of South Korean and Japanese youths relate to conventional notions of mobility/migration, freedom/precarity and work/travel, and how these experiences are shaped by global capitalism and social inequalities. She primarily draws from the political economy of international migration, feminist theories, and qualitative methods. Beyond academia, she has participated in various labour, feminist and im/migrant rights movements in South Korea and Canada. Currently, she is a member of the Women Migrants Human Rights Center of Korea (頃滉淡鞚挫＜鞐劚鞚戈秾靹柬劙) and the Toronto Korean Feminist Collective WIND.
