Yuri T. Email and Phone Number

I'm an undergraduate student of sociology at the University of British Columbia. My current research interest is around urban sociology, sociology of emotions, and community studies, focusing on the social production of isolation and how emotion functions as a social system in organizing urban life and everyday interactions. I'm also interested in how social infrastructure and public spaces can have potentialities in encouraging people's connections across barriers and challenging harmful sentiments such as hate.I use mixed methods of qualitative and quantitative approaches in social research and have expeirences in both local and transnational non-profit organizations. Currently, I'm studying ethnographic methods in the intensive summer course of the Urban Ethnographic Field School (UEFS) held by UBC Sociology and UBC Anthropology collectively, and working as a part-time program volunteer at the Food Stash Foundation.
