ABOUT ME

Hello, I am an social justice-minded Art Education researcher and educator.

I am a descendant of North Korean refugees who fled from the Korean War, and was an elementary school teacher in South Korea before coming to the U.S.

My research interests include:

Trauma Studies, community-based art education,

BIPOC alliance, preK-16 connection, and research methodologies.

TEACHING
TEACHING

At UofSC, I have developed 1 online art appreciation course and re-designed 4 other courses to be more socially-responsive and student-oriented.

 

All of my courses have been positively received 

by my students (evaluations above 90%, 99% in fall 2018) as well as peer-evaluations. 

By reflecting on students' feedback, pedagogy workshops, conferences, and research, 

I have constantly updated my lectures, readings, assignments, and technology (i.e., virtual reality).
