Featuring Hosu Kim, Youngoh Jung, and Christine Hong in conversation with Joo Ok Kim.

Framings of the Korean War as a fratricidal war overlook the centrality of sexual and gendered violence to the war and the intimate manifestations of this violence in the present. How has the unending Korean War reconfigured the terms of kinship beyond “blood family”? How has its violence shattered and rescripted notions of belonging?

The online, open-access Ending the Korean War Teaching Collective syllabus is a political education platform serving as an anti-imperialist tool against permanent war.

Sponsored by the Korea Policy Institute, The Center for Racial Justice, and the Ending the Korean War Teaching Collective
