 Nayun Eom is a doctoral student in Sociology. Her research spans the sociology of politics, science and technology, culture, and organizations. Her previous work examined the changing roles of technology in the workplace, including platform-based gig work and AI in service work. 

Her current research centers around the political economy of care work and technology.
