Biography

Professor Kyounghee "Hazel" Kwon received a doctoral degree in Communication from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2011 and has served on the faculty at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA before joining the Arizona State University.

Kwon has received Herbert S. Dordick Dissertation Award from the International Communication Association (ICA); Emerghing Scholar Award, Kappa Tao Alpha Research Award from National Honor Society in Journalism and Mass Communication, and Jung-Sook Lee Award from the Association for Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC); and Top Four Paper Award from National Communication Association (NCA).
