Heesun Nam, MA
Sessional Assistant Professor
Heesun has been long fascinated by the power of narrative. After studying English literature at the University of British Columbia, she began to explore Christ-like characters in literature and film, completing master’s degrees at Regent College and at Trinity Western University. She currently teaches international students the art of academic writing and is in the process of earning her PhD in intercultural education from Western Seminary. It is her hope that she can find practical ways of introducing the Gospel to international students through narratives and Christ-figure characters.
