Kurzportrait (Englisch)

Dr Hye-min OH is a feminist scholar, writer, filmmaker, and educator. She holds a PhD in Women’s Studies from Ewha Women’s University in Seoul and an MA in Gender and Diversity from the Freie Universität Berlin. 

Her dissertation, entitled ‘Epistemic Vulnerability of Korean Budding Feminists in the Era of Post-Feminism Reboot.' focused on the contemporary and generational context, examining the impact of feminism and anti-feminism backlash on the young generation.

Following the emergence of the #MeToo movement in the arts sector, she has taught mandatory feminist courses at the Korea National University of Arts in Seoul for six years. In an educational environment characterized by acceptance and resistance, she cultivated her interest in feminist pedagogy. She participated in numerous projects to develop educational content and published academic papers and books. In addition to her previous activities, she has expressed a desire to research the current situation in which alternative knowledge, defined as information that deviates from established facts and is often used to manipulate public opinion, is replacing and influencing reality. To this end, she was awarded a Global Encounters Fellowship at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Germany. In focus group 'politics of division', she is currently engaged in research to identify responses to this phenomenon from a transnational perspective, with a particular focus on resilience and institutionalization.
