Jeong-Nam Kim is the Gaylord Family Endowed Chair of Strategic Communication at the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, at the University of Oklahoma. He serves as a senior editor of the journal “Health Communication,” and was elected as an educator member of the Arthur W. Page Society. Kim was awarded the Jackson Jackson & Wagner Behavioral Science Prize for his research from Public Relations Society of America. Kim investigates "public behavior" and its implications for social dynamics from a communication perspective. He has theorized on people’s communicative actions in individual life and in response to social problems. He applies theories, such as his Situational Theory of Problem Solving, to the fields of public relations, strategic communication, health communication, public diplomacy, corporate and government communication. He founded the Debiasing and Lay Informatics (DaLI) lab and is currently working to conceptualize the communicative-cognitive interface of publics in personal and social problems. His work identifies both opportunities and challenges generated by lay publics and how their communicative actions either contribute to or detract from a civil society.
