Jeyoul’s current research interest is to understand the religious experience of Korean Protestants as a global and transnational agent that shapes the religious landscape of Korea and the United States. His first book project, drawing on ethnographic methodology, seeks to place continuities and changes in the religious experience of Korean Protestants who migrated to the United States in the literature of U.S. religious history and global/world Christianity. He has presented his work at the American Academy of Religion, the Association for the Sociology of Religion, and the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion.
At UF, Jeyoul teaches lower and upper-level courses in Christianity (Introduction to Christianity and Global Christianity) and Sociology of Religion (Religion & Society and Religion & the American Immigration Experience). Before joining UF, he taught Introduction to Religion, Religions of the World, and First-Year Seminar Course at Santa Fe College (Gainesville, FL) as an adjunct faculty and at Wofford College (Spartanburg, SC) as a visiting assistant professor.
