Reflecting current debates on social injustice and the Black Lives Matter
movement in the United States, this year’s Hahn Moo-Sook Colloquium will
examine the ways in which race impacts Korean, Korean-American,
African-American, and African diasporic communities in other countries. The
discussion will start with the 1992 Los Angeles riots and reflect on how
relations between the Black and Korean-American communities have evolved
since then. The speakers will examine Black-Korean tensions: what it means
to be Korean-American in the midst of shifting multicultural politics and
race; how we can situate Asian/Korean-American experiences within the
context of Black-white relations; how R&B and hip hop music have brought
the two communities closer through K-pop; and how collaboration on cultural
production influences both communities.

The Hahn Moo-Sook (HMS) Colloquium in the Korean Humanities series at the
George Washington University provides a forum for academic discussion of
Korean arts, history, language, literature thought and religious systems in
the context of East Asia and the world. The colloquium series is made
possible by an endowment established by the estate of Hahn Moo-Sook
(1918-1993), one of Korea’s most honored writers, to uphold her spirit of
openness, curiosity, and commitment to education.

*Founded in the year 2016, the GW Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) is a
university wide Institute housed in the Elliott School of International
Affairs at the George Washington University. The establishment of the GWIKS
in 2016 was made possible by a generous grant from the Academy of Korean
Studies (AKS). The mission of GWIKS is to consolidate, strengthen, and grow
the existing Korean studies program at GW, and more generally in the
greater D.C. area and beyond. The Institute enables and enhances productive
research and education relationships within GW, and among the many experts
throughout the region and the world.*
