Dr. Sihyun Park is an assistant professor in the College of Nursing, Chung-Ang University. She earned a PhD in Nursing Science from University of Washington School of Nursing and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Chung-Ang University. Much of her research has focused primarily on gender-based health inequity, mainly focusing on health and safety issues for vulnerable and marginalized groups of women due to their social and cultural structures. Some of her works advocate for system change to promote women’s rights and enhance their health status in the community. Gender-based violence is one of her major research area. As aiming to contribute to solving such social problems by enhancing the community's own capabilities, she has developed protocols and educational programs to improve awareness of gender violence, enhance intention of report as well as support competencies in community members through her research projects. Dr. Park has been trained in diverse qualitative research techniques, such as Grounded Theory, phenomenology, content/thematic analysis, ethnography, and Q-methodology, etc. Especially, through feministic qualitative perspectives, she is trying to reveal the voices of marginalized populations experiencing violence and abuse.
