We are proud to announce that The Conversation article by Associate Professor Jo Elfving-Hwang and Dr Ming Gao, titled “South Korea election: Lee Jae-myung takes over a country split by gender politics”, has been selected for translation and republication by Newsweek Japan, one of Japan’s leading weekly news magazines.
Originally published on The Conversation in early June, the article provides a timely and thought-provoking analysis of South Korea’s recent election results, focusing on the rise of Lee Jae-myung and the intensifying gender divide shaping the nation’s political landscape. Associate Professor Elfving-Hwang, whose research explores cultural politics, gender, and contemporary Korean society, offers a critical lens into how these tensions are playing out on the national stage.
The article appeared in the June 10th issue of Newsweek Japan, both in print and on the publication’s official website, allowing Associate Professor Elfving-Hwang’s insights to reach an even broader international audience.
This recognition not only highlights the relevance and impact of Associate Professor Elfving-Hwang’s research but also reflects the growing global interest in the work being produced within the Humanities Global Futures community.
We congratulate Associate Professor Elfving-Hwang on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to continued international engagement with her work.
