Juyeon Lee, BA, BPH, MSc, PhD, Postdoctoral Fellow
Juyeon Lee completed her Ph.D. in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto in Fall 2023. Her research focused on the evolution of occupational safety and health regulation in South Korea. Using a critical political economy and qualitative approach, she delved into the impact of power dynamics, institutions, and ideologies on regulatory (under)development in South Korea over the past three decades. In January 2024, Juyeon will embark on a two-year postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. MacEachen, where she will investigate digital platform workers in the care economy across South Korea and other countries as part of the 2023 AMTD Waterloo Global Talent Postdoctoral Fellowship.
