Hello, my name is Jae-Woo Kim. I am a PhD candidate at the sociology department in University of California, Riverside (UCR). I have been trained in labor studies, political sociology, and global political economy during the earlier years, and economic sociology, organizational sociology, social network analysis, statistics, and agent-based simulation more recently. My research projects have moved back and forth between empirical analysis and computer simulation and between the macro and the micro. Also, I love breaking down disciplinary boundaries between social science and natural science as well as those within social science. A common thread across my current projects is the co-evolution of different dimensions of structure: relational, institutional, and cultural. I am writing my doctoral dissertation, an agent-based model of the co-evolutionary dynamics of identity, parochial cooperation, and network, with Robert A. Hanneman as the advisor.
