She is currently on leave for book writing with an honorary Professorship at UEL, an honorary Senior Research Fellowship at the UCL IOE, EPS, and the International Centre for Intercultural Studies (ICIS), and a visiting professorship at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea.
Previously, she was a research consultant to the OECD, a Visiting Scholar in International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), a Brain Korea 21 Contract Professor at Seoul National University (SNU), a Lecturer at Brunel University London, a Visiting Scholar at L’Institut d’études coréennes (I.E.C.), Collège de France in Paris, a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Monash University in Melbourne, a full Professor of Comparative Higher Education (with a permanent contract) at UEL, and an Academic Visitor (Senior Member) at St Antony’s College, Oxford.
Her intellectual training and research have been interdisciplinary and transnational. After graduating from Yonsei University with a BA in Education (Liberal Arts; subsidiary subjects: Philosophy, History, Sociology, and Psychology) (summa cum laude) in 1991, she studied at the Institute of Education, University of London (now UCL Institute of Education), where she earned her MA degree in Comparative Education (Distinction on Dissertation) in 1992 and her PhD degree in Comparative Higher Education in 1998. Her PhD thesis was published as a book by Routledge in 2001 and reissued in 2018. Subsequently, she did her postdoctoral research in International Relations at LSE in 2000–2001.
Her training has had an interdisciplinary and intellectual focus on comparative education, comparative higher education, international relations, transnational comparative historical sociology, and East Asian area studies (Korea, Japan, China, Malaysia, and Singapore). Her scholarly interests centre on transnational academic mobility and migration (crossing international borders and social and symbolic boundaries): the interplay between territory, mobility, knowledge, identity, and network; ethnic nationalism and internationalism, nation vs. state, international relations, diasporas, internationalisation and EDI; public/private boundaries and public good in higher education, especially not-for-profit elite private universities; comparative social history of state-university relations and the academic profession; university governance and leadership, and the role of family, religion, philanthropy and corporates in private universities; majority-minority power dynamics in international and intercultural relations; the impact of technological innovations on higher education knowledge production, and global governance, digitalization, datafication, the digital market state, digital literacy, and global public pedagogy discourse, educated identity; comparative intercultural theory, qualitative research methods and methodology.
She is a Vice-President of the CESE (Comparative Education Society in Europe); a member of the QS Global Advisory Committee; and on the editorial board of Comparative Education, Intercultural Education, Policy Reviews in Higher Education, and Culture, Education and Future (CEF). She has 68 publications so far: including one book, Forming the Academic Profession in East Asia: a Comparative Analysis (Routledge, 2001/2018), five edited volumes (as Special Issues): Internationalisation and interculturality in higher education (2009), Internationalisation and development in East Asian higher education (2016), Religion and comparative education (2019); Biographies of comparative education: knowledge and identity on the move (2020); Diaspora, internationalisation, and higher education (2021), and 59 articles internationally. Some of her publications have been translated into French, Japanese, Spanish, and Lithuanian so far, and six of her articles have been included in the Reading Lists of seven postgraduate courses at major universities internationally (in the UK, USA, Canada, Denmark, Greece, and Japan).
Many of her invited talks (81 invitations in 20 countries, including 37 plenary/keynote speeches and guest lectures) have permitted her to translate her research-based knowledge in accessible ways to diverse international academic communities and international organisations as well as national governments and other policy-making stakeholders: e.g., OECD Higher Education 2030, European Migration Network, Academia Europaea, Universities UK, Public Policy Exchange, BBC World News, QS Aim, Times Higher Education, University World News, etc.
