Joy Kwon
Postdoctoral Teaching Associate in English
Joy Kwon is a Postdoctoral Teaching Associate in the Writing Program. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in English Language and Linguistics. Her dissertation, entitled “Defining perceptual similarity with phonological levels of representations: Feature (mis)match in Korean and English,” explores levels of phonological representation and how they delineate perceptual similarity between L1 and L2 sounds.
Dr. Kwon’s linguistics background is reflected in her writing classes as well. She utilizes metacognitive and formal linguistic approaches to encourage critical thinking, raise audience awareness, and practice digital literacy. As a transnational and bilingual writer, she also enjoys helping students understand the power of language and the beauty of multilingualism.
