My name is Christine Ji-Young Kim, and I am a Ph.D. Researcher in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Irvine.

Broadly speaking, I study how Virtual Reality (VR) technologies shape people's experiences in virtual worlds. I work primarily in VRChat, Reddit, and Discord.

I hold a B.A. in Anthropology and Chinese Studies from the University of California, Irvine.
