*Event Description*
South Korea has a history of demonstrations and protests that continue in
the democratic era. From student protests to labor strikes to more recent
#MeToo demonstrations, waves of contentious politics have reshaped the
political landscape and protest itself in Korea. They have popularized
tactics like the candlelight demonstration and organizational forms, such
as national solidarity infrastructures. At the same time, extreme protest
tactics persist and depend on material and emotional support from activist
communities. Korean contentious politics is also engaging with
transnational advocacy and the Korean diaspora, including through
counter-mobilization. And new issues and competing knowledge claims are
spurring mobilization. This year’s Hahn Moo Sook Colloquium will examine
the competing voices and shifting practicees of protest cultures in South
Korea.

*Background*
The Hahn Moo-Sook 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.
*This event is on the record and open to the public.*
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.
