Dear Members of the Committee on Korean Studies,<br>
<br>
I hope this message finds you all in high spirits! As we begin the Year of the Water Rabbit, I wanted to express my gratitude for your many contributions to the Korean Studies community. Thank you for your continued dedication and hard work.<br>
<br>
It's exciting to see that the COVID-19 situation is improving, and I am optimistic that we will be able to enjoy more in-person encounters and exchanges in the coming year. To that end, please mark your calendars for our annual meeting at the 2023 AAS on Saturday, March 18th from 12:15pm-1:45pm at the Hynes Convention Center, Meeting Room 200 (second level). This year, thanks to extra funding from the Korea Foundation, we are able to offer a lunch buffet. Let's all come together to enjoy great food, the company of fellow Koreanists, and maybe even make some new friends!<br>
<br>
If you are already in the Boston area on Thursday, March 16th, consider joining us for the inaugural Korean Object Study Workshop (KOSW) at the Harvard Art Museums. We will have a special viewing of Korean objects from the museum's collection, ranging from Three Kingdoms ceramics to embroidery, painting, and late 19th-century photographs. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about Korean visual and material culture and connect with other scholars in the field. For more information and to sign up, please visit <a href="https://koreanstudies.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b84c05785aa59e86eff5d5226&id=fea44f8618&e=933bc597f5" style="color:#578655;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">https://www.koreanstudies.org</a>.<br>
<br>
I am also delighted to share that our Korean Studies Mentorship Program is scheduled to take place in a hybrid format, both preceding and during the AAS conference. It is a vital aspect of our mission to nurture and guide the next generation of scholars within the Korean Studies community, and therefore I wish to express my profound gratitude to both the mentees who submitted applications and the mentors who volunteered to provide their invaluable guidance and insights. Their willingness to invest their time and energy into the program is a testament to the enduring commitment of our community to support and nurture the next wave of Korean Studies scholars.<br>
<br>
I look forward to giving a warm welcome to the two new board members who will be elected in forthcoming weeks. They will be replacing outgoing members Travis Workman and Sohoon Yi. Travis Workman has made invaluable contributions to our community as previous CKS Chair, and Publication Director/Newsletter Editor Sohoon Yi’s dedication and passion for the newsletter have ensured that our community remained and remains well-informed and engaged.<br>
<br>
As always, if you have any questions about CKS, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or any other board member. I look forward to seeing many of you in Boston and to an exciting year of Korean Studies!<br>
<br>
Warmest regards,<br>
Maya Stiller<br>
Chair, Committee on Korean Studies

<strong>Editors' comments</strong><br>
<br>
It's been my honor to serve the Korean Studies community the last three years. Many tasks still remain to be done to promote Korean Studies, build a sense of community, and publicize research by Koreanists, but I leave it in the capable hands of the incoming board members. My special gratitude to Jieun Kim at Ewha Womans University for the editorial support the last two years.<br>

<br>
A rising number of students crossing national borders to study as well as increasing transnational research and institutional networks have led scholars to explore how higher education institutions are adapting to and reflecting an increasingly interconnected world. Put differently, globalizing forces are often treated as contexts to the movement and the interconnectedness of ideas and people in higher education. While acknowledging the importance of these questions, this panel also seeks to explore a question less explored—its flipside. Namely, in what ways are these institutions the very sites that shape globalizing dynamics and the movement of people and ideas? In what ways are students going overseas agents and shapers of these globalizing dynamics? This panel explores these questions with a focus on Korean students studying overseas and academics in Korean academic institutions. Bringing in both historical and contemporary perspectives, this panel locates universities as crucial sites and students and scholars as key agents in articulating and disseminating transnational forms of knowledge and shaping mobility patterns. They not only connect people and ideas across borders, but also shape ways in which to do so. The panel explores this topic across different time periods. Hanmee Kim examines Korean students in the U.S. during the colonial period, while Joon Young Jung explores Japanese researchers at Keijo Imperial University (Seoul) from 1926 and their significance to postwar Japan. Sangmee Oh takes the discussion to the 1950s/60s Korean American students, and Stephanie Kim explores contemporary South Korean students in the California higher education system.</span></span><br>

<br>
<strong>Date & Venue:</strong> Thursday, March 16, 2023, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM, Boston Sheraton Hotel - Clarendon (3rd Floor)<br>
<strong>Organizers: </strong>Jaeeun Kim (University of Michigan), Myung-Sahm Suh (Ewha Womans University)<br>
<strong>Chair:</strong> Nicholas H. Harkness (Harvard University)<br>
<strong>Discussants: </strong>Nicholas H. Harkness (Harvard University), Yookyeong C Im (Harvard University)<br>
<strong>Presenters: </strong>Helen Jin Kim (Emory University), Myung-Sahm Suh (Ewha Womans University), Jaeeun Kim (University of Michigan), Erica Vogel (Saddleback College)<br>
<br>
This interdisciplinary session examines how the “religioscape” of the Korean evangelical church (broadly conceived), both home and abroad, has been constituted, contested, and transformed by the transpacific circulation of people, money, information, and meanings, focusing on the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This period is characterized by the advent of the “New Cold War” with renewed geopolitical tensions, the advancement in gender equality and sexual minority rights, the (far) Right mobilization against such liberalization, and the rise of South Korea as an important node of transnational migration within and beyond northeast Asia. Drawing on archival and ethnographic data, the papers analyze various ways in which Korean Christians with the evangelical leaning have responded to these economic, political, and cultural reconfigurations inside and outside the Korean peninsula. Helen Jin Kim and Myung-Sahm Suh examine the intersection of Cold War and gender/sexual minority politics. They shed light on how Cold War imaginaries and the place of evangelical Christians in “world affairs” are renegotiated and transformed through their transpacific entanglements with American politics over the course of the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations. The transpacific entanglement that Jaeeun Kim and Erica Vogel focus on is transpacific migration into and out of South Korea, shaped profoundly by global capitalism, economic inequality, restrictive immigration policies, class anxieties, and missionary aspirations. They examine the tension-ridden encounters between Korean evangelicals with coethnic “brethren” on the one hand, and ethnoracial “others” on the other, in South Korea, northeast China, the U.S., and Latin America.<br>

<br>
This panel examines the fluidity of borders and identities within East Asian cross-cultural religious encounters with a focus on global Catholic histories. Taking translation as a critical framework for examining the process of knowledge production ranging from religious, legal, literary, linguistic, inter-semiotic, and performative, the panel examines the boundary-making process within the global Catholic exchanges. The panel delves into the question of translation and global Catholic histories by asking: What histories, events, practices, and agents have been involved in translating and forging the new concepts and identities within the Catholic network? What are the links between global and local religious histories? What is the significance of translation in the critical study of religion?</span></span><br>

In the Diamond Sutra the Buddha admonishes those who try to seek Buddha in sound are practicing non-Buddhist methods. Although the relationship between Buddhism, music and “patterned expressions of sounds” is complicated, sounds play an important role in many practices of Buddhist cultures.

<br>
<strong>Date & Venue: </strong>Saturday, March 18, 2023, 5:45 PM - 7:15 PM, Hynes Convention Center - Meeting Room 103 (Plaza Level)<br>
<strong>Organizer:</strong> Kyong Yoon (University of British Columbia)<br>
<strong>Chair:</strong> Hyung-Gu Lynn (University of British Columbia)<br>
<strong>Discussants</strong>: Dal Young Jin (Simon Fraser University), Kyong Yoon (University of British Columbia), Irina Lyan (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Sarah A Son (University of Sheffield)<br>
<br>
The recent growth of South Korean popular culture in the global mediascape, known as the Korean Wave, has triggered academic analysis not only for its cultural or economic effects, but also for its potential as a diplomatic and soft power tool in international relations. This roundtable session examines how and why the Korean Wave affects and is integrated into South Korea’s foreign relations and explores larger implications for notions of public diplomacy and soft power.<br>
<br>
According to Hallyu-as-soft power proponents, popular culture has generated significant benefits for South Korea’s national image as these texts and commodities have been more impactful than the power acquired through orthodox diplomatic efforts. In contrast, there have been cases such as relations with Japan where continuous popular culture flows have seemingly had little effect on state-level bilateral relations. By analyzing the process in which South Korea’s popular cultural resources are utilized for public diplomacy, and the specific conditions under which these might or might not be effective, the roundtable aims to develop a theoretical and methodological framework for critically understanding popular culture as a potential tool and component of soft power and public diplomacy.<br>
<br>
The discussants are part of a larger project on South Korean public diplomacy, with research experience on the diplomatic impacts of Hallyu in different geo-cultural contexts and settings. Dal Yong Jin discusses the changes and developments of the Korean government’s attitude to the Korean Wave, showing how the government’s reinterpretation of popular cultural content allowed it to appropriate private sector products as materials for national soft power. Kyong Yoon explores how popular culture-driven nationalism emerged among the general public in Korea and is incorporated into the government’s politics of discourse. Irina Lyan examines Hallyu-inspired fan nationalism – the promotion of Korea’s positive national image abroad as grassroots soft power fueled by the activities of international fans. Sarah Son investigates the representation of North Korea and its people in contemporary South Korean screen productions and how these have become points of contention in inter-Korean relations. Hyung-Gu Lynn will chair the session while proposing analytical approaches based on existing theoretical and comparative works.<br>

By Stephanie K. Kim. The MIT Press. 2023.<br>
<br>
How universities in the US and South Korea compete for global student markets—and how university financials shape students' lives.<br>
<br>
The popular image of the international student in the American imagination is one of affluence, access, and privilege, but is that image accurate? In this provocative book, higher education scholar Stephanie Kim challenges this view, arguing that universities -- not the students -- create the paths that allow students their international mobility. Focusing on universities in the United States and South Korea that aggressively grew their student pools in the aftermath of the Great Recession, Kim shows the lengths to which universities will go to expand enrollments as they draw from the same pool of top South Korean students.<br>
<br>
Kim closely follows several students attending a university in Berkeley and a university in Seoul. They have chosen different paths to study abroad or learn at home, but all are seeking a transformative educational experience. To show how student mobility depends on institutional structures, Kim demonstrates how the universities themselves compel students' choices to pursue higher learning at one institution or another. She also profiles the people who help ensure the global student supply chain runs smoothly, from education agents in South Korea to community college recruiters in California. Using ethnographic research gathered over a ten-year period in which international admissions were impacted by the Great Recession, changes in US presidential administrations, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Constructing Student Mobility provides crucial insights into the purpose, effects, and future of student recruitment across the Pacific.</div>

<div style="text-align:left"><strong>International Aid and Sustainable Development in North Korea: A Country Left Behind with Cloaked Society</strong><br>
By Sojin Lim. Routledge. 2023.<br>
<br>
This book examines international aid in North Korea, in particular the ongoing policy of withholding aid, through the lens of the impact on the general population to present an argument for sustainable development. Focusing on the human rights of North Koreans and presenting a case for the use of aid as a provision for social change, it explores an alternative narrative to the existing long-drawn-out rhetoric of ‘denuclearisation-first’. The book’s scope includes evaluations of the causes of international sanctions and their impact, the Kim regime’s mitigation of sanctions through marketisation and a digital economy as well as barriers to aid monitoring and the reason for the absence of any mass anti-regime movement. It also posits that North Korea is a fragile state but cloaked by the image of a strong regime. The book succinctly demonstrates that the key to unlocking the potential of North Korea’s ‘cloaked society’ does not lie in sanctions, but is to be found in engagement with development aid. As such it will appeal to students of Korean Studies, Development Studies, Asian politics and International Relations.<br>

Edited by Sojin Lim. Routledge. 2023.<br>
<br>
This edited volume explores the past, present, and future of the Korean Peninsula, with special focus on South Korea, by connecting developments in politics with those in international relations and diplomacy. The book focuses on how South Korea’s politics and international relations have evolved since the founding of the First Republic in 1948, with particular attention to the period surrounding the 2022 presidential election. The authors provide new insights into Korean politics, including South Korean electoral reform and relations with China and Japan, North Korea’s nuclear capacity, and North–South diplomacy. Beginning with a commentary by Colin Crooks, Britain’s current Ambassador to South Korea and former Ambassador to North Korea, on recent British foreign policy changes and UK–Korea relations, this book will appeal to scholars and students of politics, international relations, diplomacy, and Korean Studies.<br>

<div style="text-align:left"><strong>Cine-Mobility: Twentieth-Century Transformations in Korea’s Film and Transportation</strong><br>
By Han Sang Kim. Harvard University Asia Center. 2022. <br>
<br>
In 1916, a group of Korean farmers and their children gathered to watch a film depicting the enthronement of the Japanese emperor. For this screening, a unit of the colonial government’s news agency brought a projector and generator by train to their remote rural town. The colonial authorities, as well as later South Korean postcolonial state authorities, saw film as the most effective medium for disseminating their political messages. In Cine-Mobility, Han Sang Kim argues that the force of propaganda films in Korea was derived primarily not from their messages but from the new mobility of the viewing position. From the first film shot in Korea in 1901 through early internet screen cultures in late 1990s South Korea, Cine-Mobility explores the association between cinematic media and transportation mobility, not only in diverse and discrete forms such as railroads, motorways, automobiles, automation, and digital technologies, but also in connection with the newly established rules and restrictions and the new culture of mobility, including changes in gender dynamics, that accompanied it.</div>

<div style="text-align:left"><strong>Theorizing Colonial Cinema: Reframing Production, Circulation, and Consumption of Film in Asia</strong><br>
Edited by Nayoung Aimee Kwon, Takushi Odagiri & Moonim Baek. Indiana University Press. 2022.<br>
<br>
Theorizing Colonial Cinema is a millennial retrospective on the entangled intimacy between film and colonialism from film's global inception to contemporary legacies in and of Asia.<br>
<br>
The volume engages new perspectives by asking how prior discussions on film form, theory, history, and ideology may be challenged by centering the colonial question rather than relegating it to the periphery. To that end, contributors begin by excavating little-known archives and perspectives from the colonies as a departure from a prevailing focus on Europe's imperial histories and archives about the colonies. The collection pinpoints various forms of devaluation and misrecognition both in and beyond the region that continue to relegate local voices to the margins.<br>
<br>
This pathbreaking study on global film history advances prior scholarship by bringing together an array of established and new interdisciplinary voices from film studies, Asian studies, and postcolonial studies to consider how the present is continually haunted by the colonial past.</div>

<div style="text-align:left"><strong>Flower of Capitalism: South Korean Advertising at a Crossroads.</strong><br>
By Olga Fedorenko. University of Hawaii Press. 2022.<br>
<br>
Flower of Capitalism: South Korean Advertising at a Crossroads is an interdisciplinary account of how advertising has been a frontier in political and cultural contests over the limits of capital’s command in postmillenial South Korea. Historically, the local cultural logic of advertising (captured by the popular cliché “advertising, the flower of capitalism”) downplayed its marketing purposes and privileged its potential for promoting virtue and enabling diverse mass media, whether or not those public-service commitments served the material interests of advertisers. This vision came under attack with neoliberalization in the 1990s, and deregulatory efforts culminated in 2008, when freedom to advertise was recognized as constitutionally protected. Flower of Capitalism ethnographically details the subsequent clash of advertising’s old obligations and new freedoms, as it was navigated by advertising producers, censors, audiences, and activists.<br>

<em>Mastering of Materialities: Resources and Technology in Post-Imjin East Asia (1598-1650)</em><br>
<br>
<strong>Date and location:</strong> 4-5 September 2023, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain<br>
<br>
<strong>Organizers: </strong>Dr. Joshua Batts and Dr. Barend Noordam, Aftermath of the East Asian War of 1592-1598 project, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona<br>
<br>
<strong>Submission Deadline: 10 April 2023</strong><br>
<br>
The “Mastering of Materialities” conference will examine knowledge production, technological development, and resource management in post-Imjin East Asia, which we define as the period between the Imjin War of 1592-1598 and the Manchu conquest of the Ming empire, roughly 1598-1650. The conference organizers invite scholars in all relevant fields and at all stages of their careers to submit proposals that explore how technological priorities and resource management evolved in East Asia during this period. During the Imjin War, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese societies mobilized extraordinary amounts of human, mineral, and natural resources, deploying them in innovative ways within the crucible of conflict. But how did priorities shift when resources and technological experimentation no longer needed to be funnelled toward campaigning?<br>
<br>
We encourage applicants who work in seventeenth century East Asian history on topics such as mining, silver, timber, weapons, ceramics, medical ingredients or on other forms of material resources, as well as those working on the East Asian history of bonded labor and the movement of human capital. We also welcome applications from scholars working on the history of Iberian Asia who can shed light on the role of Portuguese and Spanish interlocutors in the circulation of materials, objects, expertise, and bodies. In particular, we solicit proposals which do not define East Asia through an Iberian lens, but use Iberian sources as a point of reference and comparison for developments in East Asia.<br>
<br>
In addition to presenting a paper, successful applicants will also be invited to participate in one of several roundtables with other participants during the conference. These roundtables will be organized around a particular material, technology, or theme to be decided when the list of participants is confirmed. In contrast to the paper presentations, participation in these roundtables does not require any special preparation beforehand by the participants but will be an additional opportunity for dialogue and discussion.<br>
<br>
All interested candidates are requested to send a 200-500 word abstract to Barend Noordam (<a href="mailto:Barend.Noordam@uab.cat" target="_blank">Barend.Noordam@uab.cat</a>) by <strong>10 April 2023</strong>.<br>

<em>The Posthuman, the Human, and the Non-Human: New Narratives and Critical Perspectives in Korean Studies</em><br>
<br>
University of Southern California, Los Angeles<br>
November 10-11, 2023<br>
<br>
The posthuman, the human, and the non-human have become frequently debated categories in recent decades in response to an intensifying global environmental crisis, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and biotechnology, and the rise of new ways of thinking about gender, race, society, and justice. While these stances are not always mutually cohesive or even compatible, posthumanism as a general field seeks to both define and reconfigure the relationship between the human and the non-human in all of its forms, which are understood as including the mechanical, the computational, the cybernetic, the biological, animals, plants, the geological realm, the environment, and more. Within such a broad framework, posthumanist researchers are nowadays producing useful and exciting critiques of the anthropocentric assumptions of traditional humanism; they are probing into the socially inclusive as well as exclusive functions of the concept of humanity; and they are critically contributing to the transhumanist project of developing technologies that improve our lives through the enhancement of human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.<br>
<br>
The Korean Literature Association calls for proposals that engage Korean studies in (re)thinking the human and the non-human through the lens of the posthuman. The conference aims at creating an opportunity for thinking about some of the most pressing intellectual challenges of our era from within the fields of Korean literary and cultural studies. We welcome both individual papers and team panels across the periods, the media, and disciplinary and geographical boundaries, as long as they are relevant to the study of Korean literatures and cultures. Possible thematic areas include but are not limited to the following:</span></span><br>

For this conference, the KLA (<a href="https://koreanstudies.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b84c05785aa59e86eff5d5226&id=5548e811fb&e=933bc597f5" style="color:#578655;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">http://korlit.org/wp/</a>) seeks submissions from researchers at any stage of their careers. While the official conference language is English, we will also be open to Korean-language presentations of innovative researches. We are currently planning an in-person conference at the University of Southern California, with possible optional hybrid presentations in cases where travel poses difficulties. To apply, please send your CV and a 300-word abstract to <a href="mailto:korlitorg@gmail.com" style="color:#578655;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">korlitorg@gmail.com</a>. A team proposal should include the individual abstracts along with a 300-word panel abstract. Those selected to present will be required submit a presentation paper in advance.<br>
<br>
This year’s conference will also coincide with the KLA’s biannual Book Manuscript Workshop, which is primarily dedicated to researchers whose manuscript is near completion. One or two manuscripts will be chosen, and feedback will be provided by senior scholars in the field as well as by select conference participants. Those interested should submit a brief summary or proposal for the project (including a timeline for completion), a sample chapter, and a short CV to <a href="mailto:korlitorg@gmail.com" style="color:#578655;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">korlitorg@gmail.com</a>. The manuscript for review will be due for submission about six weeks ahead of the workshop.<br>
<br>
All participants in the conference and the workshop will be required to register as KLA members and will receive hotel accommodation. All efforts will be made to defray the cost of travel especially for junior scholars. The deadline for submissions is April 10, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact the local organizer, Sunyoung Park, at <a href="mailto:sunyounp@usc.edu" style="color:#578655;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">sunyounp@usc.edu</a>.</span></span>

<br>
The University of Copenhagen will host the 31st biennial AKSE Conference as an in-person event from 22 (Thursday) to 25 (Sunday) June 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The conference is co-organized by the University of Copenhagen with the AKSE Council. The Association for Korean Studies in Europe, founded in 1977, is the main scholarly society for Korean Studies in Europe. Its objectives are to stimulate and coordinate academic Korean Studies in all countries of Europe, and to contribute to the spread of knowledge of Korea among a wider public.<br>
<br>
The biennial AKSE conferences provide an opportunity for European scholars of Korean Studies to gather and exchange research. The conferences host the AKSE membership meeting, making this the most important event of the association as such. AKSE conferences are also a way for European scholars to communicate with the global academic community. We thus warmly welcome non‐Europeans and non‐members.<br>
<br>
<strong>Registration deadlines:</strong><br>
Active participants (presenters, discussants, chairs) of the AKSE Conference 2023 need to register by <strong>March 1, 2023. </strong><br>
<br>
Guests of the conference who are not involved in any panel or presentation can register until <strong>May 1, 2023.</strong><br>

Sorensen</strong><br>
<br>
Clark W. Sorensen, professor, Chair of the Korea Studies Program, and inaugural director of the Center for Korea Studies at the University of Washington, will fully retire in June, 2023, concluding his 3 years of post-retirement service.<br>
<br>
Professor Sorensen came to the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington in 1989, and became Korea Program Director in 1998, succeeding the late James B. Palais. After the retirement of Professor Palais, Professor Sorensen’s successful fundraising activities, with the help of the late Senator Paull Shin and Mr. Ick-hwan Lee, endowed two positions in the Korea Studies Program, ensuring its continued existence into the future. Professor Sorensen was PI of the two grants totaling over $1 million over 10 years that allowed the establishment of the Center for Korea Studies and its activities from 2006 to 2016. Upon retirement, Professor Sorensen plans to complete his final book addressing Korean Folk Religion and Shamanism.<br>
<br>
UW-CKS thanks Professor Sorensen for his years of service and leadership. Congratulations, Clark!</span></span></span></p>

<br>
<strong>1. Teaching and Research Staff</strong><br>
<br>
The Korean section of the Department of Translation and Interpreting and East Asian Studies at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) now includes three full time members, Ester Torres-Simon, Mihwa Jo and Hyunjoon Rhee, and four part time members, Youngmi Jeong, Mihee Seo, Kang Seunghwa and Uhjeen Lee. Within other sections there are also full and part time members of the Department whose reaching includes Korean topics: Amelia Sáiz López (Korean gender and society), Just Castillo Iglesias (International Relations) and Gustavo Pita Céspedes (Korean politics).<br>
<br>
In addition, the Department also hosts an externally-funded, 5 year research project that employs researchers working on Korean Studies: The “Aftermath of the East Asian War of 1592-1598” project, sponsored by the European Research Council (Horizon2020, PI Rebekah Clements). During the 2021-2022 year, the Aftermath project consisted of seven full time members, Rebekah Clements, Sangwoo Han, Barend Noordam, Baihui Duan, Joshua Batts, and Jaime Gonzalez, and one part time member, Jing Hu. The Department also hosts a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation which was awarded to the Research Group GREGAL (Circulación Cultural Japón-Corea-Cataluña/España). This project concerns the boom of South Korean Popular Culture in Spain and its social economic and political aspects (PI: Blai Guarné).<br>
<br>
<strong>2. Academic Program</strong><br>
<br>
At B.A. level, four courses on Korean language are now offered. A specialization in Korean (minor) is offered for other B.A.s in the university. Eight final degree projects linked to Korean Studies were presented this year on topics ranging from the history of fashion to feminism in K-dramas. At MA level, three Korea-related dissertations were presented within the MA in East Asian and Global Studies: a study on linguistic diversity in Korea, an analysis of the film ‘Parasite’ and a comparison of the Korea-Spain Strategic Partnership to similar agreements.<br>
