Timothy Goo recently completed his B.A. in International Relations at Wheaton College. Over the course of his undergraduate studies, he also studied at Stanford University, Waseda University, and Sophia University. The dynamism of East Asian politics is central in his studies; an interest that is fueled by his Korean ethnic roots and two-year study abroad program in Japan.

While in Japan, Timothy also had the privilege to do a graduate research internship at the Graduate School of International Culture and Communication Studies, Waseda University as a volunteer research student and research assistant. Furthermore, he was presented with the opportunity to contribute a piece of writing for the program, AM/NESIA: Forgotten “Archipelagos” of Oceania, in the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival 2019.

As an intern at HRNK, Timothy looks forward to refining his research skills and working with experts in the field of North Korean human rights.
