2022-2023 Social Media Sub-Committee

Eva Jin is pursuing a Ph.D. in English (Rhetoric, Writing & Literacies) at Arizona State University. Her research interests include informal, interest-driven writing/composition in affinity spaces, multimodal composition, language learning in the digital wilds, and digital rhetoric. She has been connecting First Year Composition classrooms with interest-driven sites (e.g. Reddit, Yelp) and mentoring L2 writers to write for their passion and interests. She also organizes informal language learning groups in digital fandoms. Outside academia, she is a creative and fanfic writer, and an emergent novelist with a passion for cyberpunk culture. 

She serves on the GSC Social Media Sub-committee by designing and posting social media posts. She can be reached at yjin90@asu.edu

Juyeon Yoo is currently a Ph.D. candidate at The Ohio State University (OSU) in Multilingual Language Education, having previously received her MA in English Language Education at Seoul National University in South Korea, and her BA in Linguistics at University College London (UCL) in the UK. Originally from South Korea, her diverse educational experiences have taken her to four countries (Singapore, the UK, South Korea, and the US) and have enriched her insights as a researcher and educator. She has been teaching undergraduate- and graduate-level English academic writing courses as well as SLA-related content courses. Recently, she has received the 2022 Graduate Associate Teaching Award (GATA), which is the university’s “highest recognition of the exceptional teaching by graduate students”. She is also heavily invested in equity and diversity work, and her efforts to integrate justice components into her writing courses earned her the 2022 Racial Justice Grant at OSU. Her research centers on L2/multilingual source-based writing, identity negotiation and investment, and linguistic and racial justice. She can be reached at yoo.421@osu.edu.

She previously worked as an ESL instructor in mainland China, and currently works as a graduate teaching associate for the Writing Program in the English Department by teaching the Foundations Writing courses.
