Nayun Eom is a third-year international undergraduate at Tufts University, majoring in economics and sociology with a minor in Science, Technology, and Society (STS). At the intersection of her studies, her research interests center around the digitized Future of Work. Her recent work focused on an underclass of gig workers in the online platform economy. In her future research, she hopes to shed light on how to uplift marginalized laborers who are denied dignity and equity in an algorithm-driven workplace. As an aspiring social scientist, she analyzes social issues as symptoms of structural systems such as capitalism and seeks solutions on a policy level. In prior years, she worked as a research intern at Oxfam, Asian Institute of Technology, and the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School. On campus, Nayun co-founded and leads The Lantern think tank, where she and her peers investigate the societal impact of science and technology to advocate for responsible innovation. In her free time, she enjoys cycling, reading, and pondering ways to deconstruct capitalism in daily life.
