A Transnational Tale of How to Measure Culture 

“Who do you think had the most influence on the world? Stalin or Marx?”

Bo Yun Park, who completed her Ph.D. in sociology from Harvard University in 2021, wasn’t always certain that her future lay in academia. In fact, she can trace the moment she decided to her sophomore year, when her father asked her this question.

“What makes someone or something presidential? … I wanted to understand what they meant. Is it the style? If it’s not the political ideas, then what is it? What does this candidate possess that the other lacks?” – Bo Yun Park
