James Park

Welcome! I’m an early-career researcher and practitioner focused on digital diplomacy, Asia–Pacific international relations, and multilateral cooperation, with a regional focus on Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Currently, I’m a Program Officer at Human Asia (Seoul), where I lead bilingual web, program, and partnership initiatives. Previously, I worked in general affairs at Samsung Electronics in South Carolina, supporting international assignee relocation and executive protocol.

I’m completing an M.A. in International Development and Cooperation at Korea University (expected Aug 2025) and hold a B.A. from Waseda University (Tokyo).

Recent: research on linking early nutrition to skills development in Lao PDR; designed a Human Rights Summer School program-to-internship pipeline.
