Hello, I am Lan Thi Thanh Nguyen, a mixed-methods researcher and policy analyst with expertise in politics and government, international relations, trade relationships, security, international migration, international education, and healthcare in East Asia and Southeast Asia, particularly in Korean and Vietnamese studies. I have applied my expertise in academic, public, and nonprofit settings.
With over 14 years of teaching experience at universities in both South Korea and Vietnam, and 8 years of conducting research projects, I have served as an Assistant Professor in International Studies, Korean Language, and Vietnamese Studies at Wonkwang University since 2021 and at Bucheon University from 2018 to 2019 in South Korea. Additionally, I have been a lecturer in the Department of Korean Studies at Phenikkaa University in Hanoi, Vietnam, since 2021. I also have seven years of experience as a lecturer in Vietnamese Studies at Thang Long University (2015-2020), Vietnam National University (Hanoi), and Hanoi Finance and Banking University. Before these roles, I worked as a researcher in education at the Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Academy of Policy and Development from 2010 to 2015, as well as at Hanoi Metropolitan University from 2009 to 2010.
During my tenure at Bucheon and Wonkwang Universities, I developed and implemented lesson plans, taught and monitored student progress, maintained academic records, and supported students with tailored learning strategies and special assignments. My colleagues have recognized my dedication to creating student-centered learning environments. I am eager to apply my subject matter expertise, leadership, time management, and interpersonal skills to positively impact your students and academic community. I have advised, counseled, and assisted over 600 D-4 students, D-2 students, and E-3 scholars with employment authorization, acculturation, and academic, social, and personal adjustments. Additionally, I have evaluated undergraduate applications for admission based on the university’s recruiting goals and standards and communicated with academic and co-op/career advisors to support comprehensive international student advising.
This work has resulted in 7 published journal articles, 11 conference proceedings, 3 papers currently under review, and several ongoing research projects. I am confident in my ability to collaborate with diverse scholars and students, and I am committed to advancing interdisciplinary research in political and social science, as evidenced by my publications and research proposals.
I had the privilege of serving as the Section Chair for Social Science at the ACVYS 2021 webinar and as the head of the Expert Committee of the Vietnam Association for Innovation and Creativity in Korea from 2020 to 2021. Additionally, I served as the Deputy Head of the Culture and Sports Committee for the Vietnamese community in the Chonnam-Gwangju area of Korea from 2016 to 2018.
Fluent in English, Korean, and Vietnamese, I am well-equipped to contribute to academic writing, proposal development, and teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
I earned my Ph.D. in International Studies, focusing on International Family Migration, from Chonnam National University in 2020, and my Master’s in International Development Studies, concentrating on diplomacy and trade relations between South Korea and Vietnam, from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in 2015. Before that, I earned a Master’s in Vietnamese Studies from the Vietnam National University’s Institute of Vietnamese Studies and Development in 2012, and I completed my Bachelor’s in Vietnamese Studies at Hanoi National University of Education in 2006.
I am currently based in Seoul, South Korea.
Thank you for your reading.
