About
Heeeun Nam is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of social welfare and emerging technology. Her work critically examines how the Fourth Industrial Revolution—encompassing artificial intelligence, big data, and automation—can be meaningfully integrated into social welfare practice and education. In her most-cited study, “A Study on the Social Welfare Application of the 4th Industrial Revolution: Focus on Social Welfare Major Student” (2020), Nam employed Focus Group Interviews and literature analysis to explore how social welfare students perceive and can apply these technologies in their future practice. This foundational work, with 3 citations, provides early insights into bridging the gap between rapid technological change and the traditionally human-centered field of social welfare. Nam’s research is particularly notable for its practical orientation, aiming to equip future social workers with the digital competencies needed to address complex social issues. By identifying implications for curriculum development and field application, she contributes to a growing dialogue on preparing the social welfare workforce for a tech-driven future. Her work serves as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and students seeking to innovate within social services while maintaining a focus on ethical, human-centered care.
