Albert Buixadé Farré is the Wikipedian in Residence & Scholarly Communications Specialist at HRNK. Since 2015, he has edited Wikipedia articles and advised HRNK on Wikipedia coverage to more effectively disseminate reports and insights into North Korea’s human rights, prison camps, media, as well as the regime’s structure, history, and recent developments. He also conducts research on the history of the regime and its human rights practices, and explores new avenues for continuing to broaden HRNK’s reach.

His drive is to democratize knowledge towards a more learned and virtuous polity for today and tomorrow. He seeks to distill copious and daunting amounts of published information into approachable and useful knowledge and to more effectively preserve and disseminate it to make for better-educated citizens, better-equipped researchers, and better-informed policymakers. He has pursued these aims through conference organizing, podcast production, academic publishing, Wikipedia editing, and scholarly outreach.

He holds a B.A. in Business Management from the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya and an M.A. in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University.
