Research Focus: Kang’s scholarship critically examines intersections of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with gender inequality, social entrepreneurship, and consumer behavior. Her work emphasizes contextual nuances in Asian markets—particularly South Korea—analyzing how CSR initiatives impact women’s workplace representation during crises like the pandemic, and how informal institutions shape entrepreneurial ecosystems. Methodologically, she employs comparative case studies and mixed-method approaches to dissect power dynamics in business ethics.

Publication Trends: Recent works (2018-2023) reveal a concentrated exploration of CSR’s societal implications, with three 2023 publications investigating prosocial orientation in CSR departments, B Corporation certification timing, and pandemic-era gender silencing. Her research consistently leverages South Korean contexts to develop globally relevant frameworks for ethical business practices, appearing in Social Responsibility Journal and Journal of Social Entrepreneurship.

Scientific Awards: No awards documented in source material.

Advising and Grants: While teaching responsibilities span multiple degree levels, specific student advisees and research grants remain unreported. Her UN and cross-sector partnerships suggest potential grant-funded fieldwork, though explicit details are absent.
