ENCATC Members Talk - Cultural mobility in the new normal

Professor Kiwon Hong began her carrier as a cultural policy researcher in the public sector (Korea Culture and Tourism Research Institute) and moved to academia to bridge the world of theory and reality. Her commitment in cultural policy research gave fruit to hosting the 9th International Conference on Cultural Policy Research in Seoul 2016. She has served in various positions where she thought would make any difference or challenge status quo. Name and prestige being not always in proportion, the most she felt committed was being a member of Women Cultural Policy Forum in which she is still active. Serving as a board member of Seoul Foundation of Arts and Culture and Korea Arts Management Service brought depth in her perspective. Outside of her specialized field, her position as committee member in the Presidential Commission on Policy Planning and Ministry of Personnel Management has extended her perspective. Currently she is a professor in arts management and cultural policy at Korea National University of Arts, School of Drama.
