Jane Choi

Hi! I’m a Ph.D. student in sociology at Harvard University, researching culture, inequality, race, and education. I examine what is taken to constitute "authentic" ethnic, racial, and national belonging, how claims to authenticity are constructed and contested, and how these processes shape inter- and intragroup boundaries. I’m affiliated with the Weatherhead Research Cluster on Comparative Inequality and Inclusion and the Center for American Political Studies.

Previously, I assisted research on family well-being and children’s development at MDRC and completed my B.A. in sociology at Columbia University.

I grew up in Seoul, S. Korea, and the San Francisco Bay Area. By way of New York City and Cambridge, I’m now based in Los Angeles.
