Jae-Min joined the Rhetoric department after working as a paralegal for the Natural Resources Defense Council. She is interested in exploring how bodies materialize through biopolitical, racial, environmental, and economic systems. Specifically, she hopes to study legal texts and speculative fiction that center non-“normative” bodies and open up radical imaginations of our current/future worlds. Jae-Min graduated from Bowdoin College, where she majored in Political Theory and minored in English.
