Jeong-Hee Kim is a Fulbright Scholar and Professor of Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education in the College of Education at Texas Tech University, where she currently serves as Interim Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. She previously served as Chair of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at TTU. Kim teaches graduate courses in curriculum theory, narrative inquiry, and related areas of education. Her research focuses on interdisciplinary curriculum making, with particular attention to bridging curriculum studies with fields such as engineering and medical education. As a 2025–2026 Fulbright Scholar, Kim undertook a curriculum project in narrative medicine in South Korea that integrates storytelling, the arts, and the humanities into medical education, fostering more humanistic approaches to medical practice and shaping the professional identities of future physicians. Her scholarship has received wide recognition, including multiple awards from the American Educational Research Association (AERA). In 2017, she was honored with the AERA Outstanding Publication Award for her influential book, Understanding Narrative Inquiry (Sage, 2016). Beyond her academic life, Kim enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, and running—activities that help sustain her sense of connection with people and place.
