About
Hyeon-Jeong Kim is a scholar dedicated to reimagining the role of the humanities in an era of rapid technological change. Her primary research area centers on the philosophy and practice of liberal arts education, particularly its critical function and necessary evolution within the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In her most cited work, "Role and Direction of Liberal Education of Humanities in the 4th Industrial Revolution Era" (2017), Kim provides a foundational analysis of how humanistic inquiry must adapt to remain relevant amidst automation and digital transformation. She argues that the humanities are not merely supplementary but essential for cultivating the critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and creativity that technology cannot replicate. While her citation count reflects a growing field, her contribution lies in framing a vital pedagogical debate: how to preserve the core values of a liberal education while preparing students for an uncertain, tech-driven future. Kim’s work serves as a crucial guide for educators and policymakers seeking to balance technical skill with enduring human wisdom, marking her as a thoughtful voice in contemporary educational philosophy.
