Jae-Eun Noh is a Research Fellow at the Gender and Women's History Research Centre in the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences. She holds a BA in French literature (Seoul National University, Rep of Korea) and a MA in Social Welfare (Seoul National University, Rep of Korea) and Social Development (University of Sussex, the UK). She obtained her Ph.D. in International Development from the University of Queensland in 2015, with a dissertation titled "From a normative discourse to contextualised practices: a case study of a human rights-based approach in Bangladesh."

Jae-Eun's research interests include human rights and social justice, sustainable development, civil society, corporate social accountability, cosmopolitanism and global citizenship, helping professionals' health and wellbeing. Her current project, "The Role of Faith in 'Comfort Women's Activism in Australia" funded by the Academy of Korean Studies, explores how 'comfort women' survivor-activists and Korean migrant-activists in Australia perceive the role of faith in shaping their perception and experience of gendered violence and activism. This research builds on her previous research on Korean migrants' transnational activism and gendered violence.
