Eun A Jo

I am an Assistant Professor of Government at William and Mary. Previously, I was a David and Cindy Edelson Fellow in International Security at the Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth College and a Predoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Security and Conflict Studies at George Washington University. I received my PhD in Government from Cornell University in 2024. 

I study how national stories, historical memories, and political ideologies shape international relations, with a focus on Northeast Asia. My research has been published or is forthcoming in Asian Survey, Comparative Political Studies, International Organization, and International Security. I have received, among others, the Nuno P. Monteiro Best Dissertation Award in International Relations Theory, Best Dissertation Award in Nationalism and Politics, Catherine McArdle Kelleher Best Article Award in International Security, and the Alexander L. George Best Article Award in Qualitative and Multi-Method Research from the American Political Science Association.

Occasionally, I write commentaries on contemporary policy issues. My writings have appeared in outlets such as Foreign Affairs, Good Authority, The National Interest, and The Diplomat, as well as in think tank publications, including by the Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Rand Corporation.
