Korean Catholic saints are presented in visual media, from art to movies, as wearing imagined traditional Chosŏn dress in locations shot through with imagery from and references to the dynasty. And Korean Catholics need not travel abroad to go to holy sites, but can find plenty throughout their homeland, many of which are connected to the Chosŏn state and are celebrated by the local Korean government and by the Vatican and UNESCO as “international.” However, there is an awkwardness in such memories, as it was principally that Korean government that killed Catholics, who at the time were accused of subverting Confucian values, such as filial piety and the accompanying ancestor rites, that are celebrated by many Koreans today. And of course, from a contemporary nationalist perspective, Korean Catholics could in some cases be argued to be traitors who violated the laws of the nation and supported foreign imperialism. And even Korean Catholic martyrs against whom no such charges could be made still represent Koreans being killed by other Koreans, an uncomfortable memory, particularly considering the internecine conflict of the Korean War and ongoing division. This presentation will therefore ask "what is being remembered about these persecutions and how is it being remembered?" Through an exploration of the life of Saint Father Andrew Kim Taegŏn, the first Korean Catholic priest and recognized “patron” of UNESCO and his associated holy sites, and the history of Haemi Holy Site, which is celebrated as a place of “nameless” martyrs, this presentation will help us to better understand the realities of anti-Catholic persecution during the Chosŏn dynasty and how that history of religious persecution is being presented positively in a contemporary context by minimizing criticism of the Chosŏn people who were responsible for the persecutions, while exalting Korean Catholic martyrs as good subjects of the state, responsible members of society, and pioneers of the transition from the premodern to the modern. </span></span></div>

His research focuses on Korean religious history, particularly Catholicism. He has published on such subjects as voluntary martyrdom, Fr.

His recent translation, carried out with Dr. Jieun Han, <em>An Chunggŭn: His Life and Thought in His Own Words</em>, was published by Brill in 2020, and has published an article comparing An Chunggŭn’s thought with that of American abolitionists Frederick Douglass and John Brown.
