It was very nice to catch up with @kidjiesaguin.bsky.social

Spoke on Arirang TV about APEC 2025 and S.Korea’s role in multilateral cooperation youtu.be/N6FQRZwYy-U?...

I’ll miss you all. A huge thank you to my wonderful SoG colleagues for this lovely send-off. It’s been a privilege working with such great people. All the laughs, support, and flatwhites over the years. Off to the next chapter.

Picked up my Certificate in Higher Education (Endorsed in Educational Technology) from the University of Otago. Glad to complete this training on teaching & learning in the digital environment (and to pick up the cert before leaving 🇳🇿)

Catching up with Hon Melissa Lee MP at the NZ Parliament; a special moment before heading back to S.Korea. She’s one of those rare politicians who bridges communities with grace and grit; connecting Kiwi and Korean worlds while standing strong in the spirit of service.

Travel tips to #PMRC2025 at Seoul National Univ. I highly recommend NaverMap for subways in Seoul. Also, if you are taking the shuttle from Nakseongdae Station, the bus was just outside exit 8.

Kick off your Friday at #PMRC2025 with a presentation on voting-related administrative burdens and their effects on trust in government and democratic participation. (9:30 in Room K-109, Bldg. 57-1)

Another crazy good conference lunch. #pmrc2025 may win for best lunches ever. Other conferences- up your game :)

Day 2 at #PMRC2025 is a wrap! Thrilled to have chaired an incredible panel on police administration, connected with fellow researchers, and enjoyed the vibrant Korean music & delicious food at the dinner reception 🎶🍴 #WinWin #PMRC2025 #ResearchNetworking @iuioneill.bsky.social @pmra-1991.bsky.social

🎉 So glad we could all come together at IJPA’s Happy Hours for Asian Stories at #PMRC2025! Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by — great conversations, new ideas, and warm connections. @mengye.bsky.social @sethjmeyer.bsky.social

It’s Monday midday in New Zealand, but I’m taking a work break to send some aroha to the Chiefs. While I’m stuck in meetings, Mahomes is throwing dimes, Kelce is breaking ankles, and Andy Reid is cooking up something tastier than my lunch. Three-peat time, baby!
