The Chair series on Netflix is the new drama that puts focus on the various biases in the academic world. It also points to how anything out of the ordinary is often faced with resistance and challenges. The story combines what one has to face in workplace as a woman and as a person of color, especially in a Languages department.
What is the Netflix Drama About?
The Chair follows professor Ji-Yoon Kim as she is posed to become the first woman and person of color to head the English department at a local university.
The older staff fear change, while new blood, like professor Yasmin McKay, agitate for it.
Ji-Yoon tries to juggle her new administrative responsibilities —clashing with close co-workers who were confidants before she became the boss— with motherhood to her young daughter Ju Ju and caretaking for her father Habi.
Simultaneously she is struggling to discern if her platonic relationship with beloved English professor Bill Dobson is becoming something more and, if it even should.
When Bill is captured on video making a controversial gesture the student body erupts into a call for accountability and Ji-Yoon’s ride gets even wilder as work, romance, drama and comedy collide.
