Ji Eun (Jinny) Kim

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan School of Information, working with Libby Hemphill. As a computational social scientist, I leverage social science theories and computational methods to study online user behaviors and interactions using large-scale data. My dissertation-in-progress focuses on how status differences shape user engagement patterns and how seemingly neutral platform features and technologies can reproduce inequality in online communities.
