Yeaseul Hur is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Labor and Employment Relations at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Using South Korea as a theoretically powerful case, Yeaseul’s research speaks directly to the sources of conflict in contemporary workplaces—long working hours, biased performance evaluations, and pay inequity. Her dissertation, “When Women Are Ideal Workers: The Gendered Impact of Overwork on Wages and Promotion,” received the Marianne A. Ferber Award, which recognizes outstanding dissertation research on gender and women’s studies.
