Research Project

To continue the thematic field of my bachelor thesis, in my master thesis I would like to further dive into the field of inclusion and integration of minorities into societies, specifically Korean society. Inspired by an encounter as well as a long-held interest in the integration of people with disabilities into society, I plan to write my thesis on “Exploring Future Opportunities and Challenges for People with Disabilities in the Korean Workforce and Education Sphere”, including interviews with people with disabilities in political and educational positions. Especially in the context of current discourse, it is an important topic and can give way to new future perspectives for not only Korea but Germany as well and it aligns well with the EAF theme of “Future Destinations of Self and Society”.
