About

B.C. Ben Park holds a doctoral degree in sociology from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University and a master’s degree in sociology from the College of William and Mary. His research program has focused on various topics including suicidal behavior, the personal impacts of immigration, and the socialization of youth. The major strand of his research has examined suicide, particularly how increased suicide behavior in the modern era relates to macro-level historical and structural forces impacting individual lives. He has also developed research addressing politically-inspired suicide, a controversial but understudied phenomenon with significant impacts on modern societies. Additionally, his work has explored Korean immigrant families in U.S. society, emphasizing the role of ethnic language in identity development among youth and intergenerational conflicts at home.
