Dr. Kean Kim, Joseph Lo (Luo Jian-jin)
I graduated with Doctor of Philosophy in 2015 and my thesis was nominated for the annual outstanding research prize award. My research prioritised craft makers’ view of what they conceived as being authentic of their own culturally-bounded products. This is to identify threats that may jeopardise the cultural integrality their work.
This methodology that I have established enables practitioners, designers, cultural conservators, cultural entrepreneurs, policy makers, people within the tourism sector, etc., to find a balance between sustaining a community’s cultural identity with openness to innovation from outside. It is also applicable to a wide range of tangible and intangible cultural products ranging from architecture, food, dance, music, garments, etc.
Because of my academic practice, I am proficient in undertaking research work to establish contextual and logical frameworks. Coupled with my expertise and experience on converging the linkage between cultural resource and the cultural/creative industry, I formulated survey methodologies for evidence-based interventions to generate meaningful strategic plans for various UN agencies in Asia. I am also competent in drafting concept notes, proposals, papers and reports, have provided recommendations for community re-vitalisation, confidence building and cultural diplomacy.
In many of my work, I specifically focused on cultural sustainability and confidence building, especially with ethnic minorities in China and Bangladesh who are marginalized and disadvantaged economically, politically, culturally and socially by dominant groups.
I also designed, developed and delivered numerous culture-based product development and design training programmes to a wide range of participants ranging from illiterate rural artisans to under-graduate students.
I am proficient at all stages of project cycle from inception, implementation, operations, monitoring and evaluation upon completion. I am skilled in project management, based on Result-based Management to create annual work plans, concept notes, identify indicators and measures, plan and manage budgets as well as supervising personals from diverse cultural backgrounds.
In terms of geographical experiences, my work brought me to West Asia (Iran), South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Pakistan), Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and Northeast Asia (China, Mongolia, Tibet Autonomous Region).
