Yulan Kim

Post-doctoral Researcher
Yulan Kim started the Evans School Ph.D. program in Public Policy & Management in 2017. Prior to joining the program, she worked as a Research Associate at the Center for International Development at the Korea Development Institute (KDI). She earned a Master of Science in Comparative Politics from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Yulan also holds a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea.

Yulan is interested in modes of public service delivery that employ cross-sector collaboration. In her dissertation, she investigates how governments serve as collaborative platforms to lead the co-production of regional social security services. She studies the impact of governments leading collaborative governance on citizen trust and participation, and how this shapes policy processes and the broader policyscape.
