Applied Anthropology Lab

Run by Prof. Yeon Jung Yu

I am a cultural and medical anthropologist with research interests in social networks, sex work, HIV/AIDS, drug use, and social stigma.

A sampling of my current projects includes:

  1. social networks of female sex workers,
  2. inequalities in the webcam modeling industry
  3. physical and mental health of trafficked women in the sex trade
  4. recreational drug use culture among college students.
