Terri Kim (PhD London; PFHEA) is Professor of Comparative Higher Education (Honorary Professor at UEL; Visiting Professor at Yonsei University, Seoul) and Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the UCL Institute of Education. Previously she was Academic Visitor (Senior Member) of St Antony's College, Oxford, Visiting Research Scholar in International Relations at LSE in London, Visiting Scholar at I.E.C. Collège de France in Paris, Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Monash University in Melbourne. As a specialist in Comparative Education, Intercultural Education, and Higher Education, she serves on the editorial board of Comparative Education, Intercultural Education and Policy Reviews in Higher Education, and is a member of the QS Global Advisory Committee. She is the first Korean who has specialised in comparative higher education while being based in the UK and Europe for almost three decades, and a committed member of the CESE for over two decades. Her scholarly interests centre on comparative historical sociology of higher education, transnational academic mobility/migration, knowledge and identity capital; international relations, diaspora, internationalisation and EDI in HE policy and practice; state-university relations, the academic profession and leadership in HE; Comparative Education theory and methodology. Her longstanding research has focused on how border-crossing academic mobility/migration has led to new knowledge creation and radical innovations that shift paradigms; and translating these innovations into social impact to contribute to human flourishing and inclusive social justice. She has published one book, five edited volumes (Special Issues) and 57 articles internationally. Some of her publications have been translated into French, Japanese, Spanish, and Lithuanian so far, and six of her articles have been included in the Reading Lists of seven postgraduate courses in major universities internationally (in the UK, USA, Canada, Denmark, Greece, Japan). Many of her invited talks and publications have addressed future directions and related them to the needs of the relevant governments as well as to the interests of academic community and civil society: e.g., OECD, European Migration Network, Academia Europaea, Universities UK, Public Policy Exchange, Times Higher Education, etc.
