Hi World,
I am Saemi Nadine Jung.
I am a financial news anchor turned media & communications scholar who strongly believes in the power of education.
Growing up as a third culture kid, I have always been fasicanted by different ways of thinking and viewing the world. Born and partially raised in South Korea, a third of my life was spent in North America and Germany, another third in South Korea to work as a financial journalist, then in London, UK, where I did my Master's of Social Science in Media and Communications. Currently, I am living and studying in Vancouver, Canada, where I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Communication.
My doctoral research takes a post-colonial, transnational lens to examine the development of EdTech, investigating in what ways technologies influence, shape the future of education. Currently, I work on research projects identifying models of resilience that help sustain the socio-cultural and democratic functions of cultural organisations during and beyond times of acute crisis like global pandemic and platform policies.
My past research work includes comparative cross-national policy analysis of the EU and South Korean education, gendered racism in media news representation during the COVID-19 and data justice/ethics.
In addition to being a PhD student, I am a Founder and CEO of the Baeum Institute and Society, and Academic and Entrepreneurial Lifestyle Content Creator.
When I'm not doing research work, I love making music, listening to music, and performing the piano. I spend much time watching nature, being in nature, and drawing, painting, and playing music.
I am driven by the values that I believe in. I hope my work will continue to serve the world, especially help those who are marginalized, underrepresented, who can use empowerment.
