Hye-Min Jung graduated from Harris School of Public Policy, the University of Chicago in 2020 and joined the MiiE lab in 2021 fall. She is interested in inequality, human capital development, intergenerational mobility, especially for the disadvantaged group. She believes that there is so much you can discover with text analysis, and she is excited to be part of the MiiE lab to explore the factors that could possibly influence childhood developments by analyzing contents that children are exposed to. As a child, she liked the stories that protagonists face the ordeal with courage and overcome obstacles, especially the Harry Potter series. Hye-Min realized how entertaining reading books can be while she was reading through those series and became a big fan of reading.
