Min Ji Choi is writing her dissertation on the "shamanistic thinking" in South Korea during authoritarianism and its legacies, examining the relationship between Korean shamanistic rituals and political resistance. Her research follows the journey of funerary   
imaginaries in South Korea from the 70's to present day, as they weaved through resistance literature, postcolonial theology, and feminist poetics. She received her B.A. in English literature at Cambridge University and M.A. in Comparative Literature at University College London. She is generally interested in the ways in which modernity grapples with ghosts: including, but not limited to, spectral studies, anthropology of the invisible, (ghost) haunting/hunting, and the politics of mourning.
