About

Barum Park is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Cornell University. His research interests include political sociology, social networks, and social mobility. He focuses on how various social dimensions intersect to create social structures, with particular attention to political polarization and social mobility. His work on political polarization demonstrates how cross-cutting lines of ideological conflict prevent belief systems from bifurcating into clear-cut liberal and conservative positions, a structure that has emerged due to the dealignment of moral issues from traditional ideological cleavages in the US over the last decade. In the realm of social mobility, he employs network approaches to identify boundaries to worker flows and examines how these boundaries intersect with occupational class divisions. Currently, his projects explore the dynamics of political polarization during the 2016 US presidential campaign using data from online forums, as well as expanding research on worker flows and mobility boundaries utilizing data from workers' resumes. Dr. Park received his Ph.D. from New York University in 2020 and holds a B.A. in German literature and sociology from Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea.

• A Genomic-Pathologic Annotated Risk Model to Predict Recurrence in Early-Stage Lung Adenocarcinoma

  JAMA Surgery · 2020 · 115 citations

  Importance: Recommendations for adjuvant therapy after surgical resection of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) are based solely on TNM classification but are agnostic to genomic and high-risk clinicopathologic factors. Creation of a prediction model that integrates tumor genomic and clinicopathologic factors may better identify patients at risk for recurrence. Objective: To identify tumor genomic factors independently associated with recurrence, even in the presence of aggressive, high-risk clinicopath…

• Supradiaphragmatic Roux-en-Y jejunal reconstruction after extended total gastrectomy for gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma

  JTCVS Techniques · 2025-06-12 · 1 citations

  articleOpen access

  Background: Surgical management of gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma extending into both the esophagus and the stomach often requires distal esophagectomy and total gastrectomy (extended total gastrectomy). Roux-en-Y jejunal conduits are commonly used for reconstruction; however, concerns exist regarding the ability to obtain adequate length for a supradiaphragmatic anastomosis. Methods: This retrospective study included patients with esophagogastric adenocarcinoma who underwent extended…
