Research Interests
Theoretically informed by critical race studies, cultural feminism, and postcolonial scholarship, Dr. Choi's research interests focus on interrogating power relations in the cultural construction of sporting subjectivities. Her recent publications include topics such as racialized masculinities in MLB, sporting naturalization and in/flexible citizenship, and sexism and misogyny in esport. Her more recent projects aim to examine the discursive re/production of transnational ice hockey players in Canada and South Korea.
