Sojin Yu, a lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of Sheffield, has been awarded a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship.

The fellowship supports research for three years and will allow Sojin to embark on a new project on bilingualism in South Korea. The project, by examining how the social formation of language relates to individual positionalities and wider discourses of nation and citizenship, will uncover the intersectional ways in which national boundaries are drawn through language.
