Minkang Kim is Senior Lecturer in Human Development and Education, in the School of Education and Social Work, The University of Sydney. Over the past decade, she has worked within the field of human development and neuroscience, particularly as these disciplines apply to educational theory and practice. She is especially interested in the role of emotion, empathy and value in human development, learning and wellbeing, as evidenced in social/educational contexts and the functioning brain. In line with developmental science, generally, over the past decade her research has progressively been underpinned by Dynamic Systems Theory (DST). Her empirical research methods include Electroencephalogram (EEG), eye-tracking, micro- genetic observation and State Space Grids (SSGs) together with more traditional research methods.
