I am an Associate Professor of Korean Studies in the School of Social Sciences, and Director of the Korea Research Centre at UWA. After completing my PhD at Sheffield University in the UK, I was Director of Korean Studies at Frankfurt University (Goethe Universitaet Frankfurt am Main), and before that I worked at Sheffield University, Leeds University and Sheffield Hallam University in the UK in various academic positions. I am an enthusiastic "Koreanist" and have served in a number of elected positions to promote Korean Studies both in academia and in the industry. I am the current Vice President and immediate former President of the Korean Studies Association of Australasia (KSAA) and previously served as the Treasurer for KSAA. I am also currently serving as an Executive Board Member of the Australia-Korea Business Council or Western Australia (AKBCWA).
In my own institution I am an education enthusiast, and have previously served as the Deputy Head of School of Social Sciences with the responsibility for the Teaching & Learning portfolio. I currently serve in a number of committees, including the University Board of Discipline, the Appeals Committee of the Academic Board, and the Academic Workloads Advisory Committee (AWAC).
