Sujin Eom is a scholar of architecture and urbanism whose research is anchored in a historical inquiry into race, migration, and the built environment. Eom is currently completing her first book manuscript that situates "Chinatown" as an imaginative and material space within the global history of empire, race and racism, and violence. Eom holds a PhD in architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, with a Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies. Now teaching and writing in the Asian Societies, Cultures, and Languages Program at Dartmouth College, Eom is one of the contributors to SAH-CHSDM Roundtable: Rediscovering Asian American and Pacific Islander Architects and Designers, a collaboration of Society of Architectural Historians and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
Eom's research interests include colonial architecture and urbanism, migration and diaspora, labor and slavery, race and racism, Asian/American art and architecture, and postcolonial urban theory. Eom's next research project investigates transcontinental flows of architecture and urban form during the Cold War, with an emphasis on urban infrastructure built across Asian cities.
Eom is the recipient of several awards and fellowships, including the Society of Architectural Historians IDEAS Research Fellowship, the International Planning History Society Best Postgraduate Paper Award, the Japan Foundation Fellowship, the University of California Pacific Rim Research Fellowship, and the Social Science Research Council Grant. She has served as the Haas Junior Scholars Program Fellow and the Berkeley Empirical Legal Studies (BELS) Graduate Fellow.
