Sookhee Oh is an urban sociologist interested in immigrant spatial patterns and their social implications, including suburban immigrant enclaves. She explored these topics in her Ph.D. dissertation, which examined “spatial dispersion without ethnic attenuation” in the case of suburban Koreans in the New York-New Jersey area. Prior to joining University of Missouri, Kansas City in 2007, she was a postdoctoral research associate in Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences (S4) at Brown University. There, she worked on immigrant political incorporation and is currently working on publishing the project.
