Soo Jeung Lee is a Professor in the Department of Education at Sejong University, South Korea, with active research output through 2025. Her work critically examines higher education systems, policy frameworks, and labor market integration within the Korean context.
Her educational qualifications include:
- Ph.D. from Seoul National University (2014)
- M.S. from Seoul National University (2003)
- B.S. from Seoul National University (2001)
Lee's research centers on the intersection of educational administration and socioeconomic outcomes, with particular emphasis on university prestige effects on graduate wages, generational knowledge transfer among academics, and academic entrepreneurship through patenting activities. Her methodological approach combines quantitative bibliometric analysis with policy evaluation, often contextualized within South Korea's rapidly evolving higher education landscape and its global competitiveness challenges.
Recent publications reveal three dominant trends: (1) growing focus on bibliometric inequalities in research assessment systems, (2) persistent investigation of school-to-work transition barriers for graduates, and (3) expanding analysis of performance-based funding mechanisms. These threads collectively address systemic challenges in aligning academic outputs with societal needs while maintaining scholarly integrity.
Her scientific recognition includes:
- Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Fellowship (2015-2017)
Lee maintains active international collaborations, evidenced by her Visiting Scholar position at the East-West Center (2013) and ongoing cross-border research projects. While specific grant details aren't provided, her Humboldt Fellowship demonstrates competitive funding success, and her publication patterns suggest sustained research support for investigating Korean higher education policy. Her advising activities focus on graduate students in education policy and labor market transition research, though individual student names aren't cataloged in the source material.
