Early life and education

Lee graduated from Kyungpook National University in Daegu for his bachelor's degree and obtained his master's degree at Seoul National University.[6] He received his Ph.D. in Urban Design & Planning from the University of Washington (UW) in 2000 (Dissertation: Measuring acceptance of regulatory growth management policy).[7]

Government career

edit

Before entering academia in 2003, Lee served both the national and local governments in South Korea for 15 years. In 2001, Lee was Director of International Relations in Daejeon, South Korea's fourth largest city. While he served in this position, he visited Seattle, Washington for city presentation in partnership with the Greater Seattle Trade Development Alliance.[8] His last government job was Director-General of Transportation Bureau in Daejeon Metropolitan City.[9][10][11]

Academic career

edit

In 2003, Lee became an assistant professor at his alma mater, KNU. His academic interests include urban policy (growth management, green urbanism, urban health, etc.) and public personnel policy.[12] He has published more than 40 academic articles on urban planning and public policy in various domestic and international journals. Over the years, he has served numerous administrative positions in addition to his academic commitments in and outside of KNU,[13][1] including: Dean of Graduate School of Public Administration (2012–14), Dean of Strategy & Finance (2016), and Dean of Academic Affairs (2016–17). He was also Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Local Government Studies in South Korea for two years (2012–14)[1][14] and President of Korean Association for Governmental Studies (2019).[15][1]

For his first sabbatical year in 2009, he stayed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) as a Fulbright Lecturing Professor, teaching two courses: “Asian Public Policy” and “Asian Cities & Planning.”[2][16] Yale University was his second destination as a Fulbright Visiting Fellow for his sabbatical in 2017. On top of his research commitments, he co-taught a regular graduate course in spring of 2018, “Contemporary Issues & Research Methods on the Urban Environment,” at Yale School of Environmental Studies.[17][18] After returning to South Korea, he published a book in Korean entitled Yale, The Four Seasons (예일, 사계), which is based on his experiences and insights on Yale and U.S. colleges.[6]

From 2020 to 2022, he served as the Executive Vice President & Dean of Graduate School at KNU.[19] Over the past decades Lee has received numerous awards including Best Completed Work by a Graduate Student (UW, 2001),[20] Outstanding Public Official Award (2001), Presidential Award for Excellent Educators (2013), and Best Article Awards of the Year (Korean Association for Governmental Studies, 2009; Korean Urban Management Association, 2017); etc.).[21][22]
