Event Description
In the early 2000s demographic decline pushed the South Korean national
government to abandon its ethnonational citizenship policies and implement
some of the most progressive immigration policies in East Asia. Yet closer
scrutiny of the policies reveals differences in the rights, privileges, and
duties extended to immigrants according to newly created migrant
categories. In this lecture, Draudt draws two cases from her book project
and compares the policymaking dynamics that produced two forms of “kinship
migration” policies: diaspora return migrants and marriage migrants. Draudt
shows how meso-level interactions among state and social actors categorize
citizens and non-citizens according to extant membership frames—the laws,
ideas, and institutions that historically situate a citizen within the
nation. Based on original research from archival research, interviews, and
immersive fieldwork in South Korea from 2017 to 2019, the research
contributes to broader discussions of how policy community dynamics expand
the rights and social benefits for some migrants and citizens while
simultaneously excluding or restricting others.

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
