Course Introduction
This course reorganizes Korean history, which has been researched within a geographical, political, and historical boundary of Korea, in the context of the broader flows of East Asian and world history. With a new understanding of Korean history, the course’s glocal perspective on Korean history will provide practical knowledge that enables the envisioning of peace and solidarity of a future of East Asia beyond conflict, strife, and hatred and reflections on the place and role of the Korean Peninsula in the future.
