Jooyoung Lee has been named one of the two inaugural Bissell-Heyd Fellows in American Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs. Professor Lee has been teaching and conducting research in the department of sociology since 2011. He works in the area of violence and poverty in the United States.
According the Munk Centre website, The Bissell-Heyd Fellowships are intended to:
engage current Assistant/Associate Professors at the University of Toronto in the work of CSUS by providing them with resources to further research that is connected to the enterprise of American Studies, and to give them a platform from which to disseminate or showcase that research.
Professor Lee began the fellowship in 2016.
