Research
My PhD research looks at ‘non-elite’ historical resources of colonial heritage in Korea regarding multi-layered memories of the general public. This research is focused on case sites in my hometown, Busan in South Korea, where various colonial heritage and the Korean War heritage remain. I am also interested in the topic of urban heritage, refugee migration and dark heritage.
