Funded Activity Summary

Beyond Domestic Borders: Transnational Mobility in the Making of Modern Korea, 1920-1945. The project offers a new perspective on gender and colonial history by examining crossborder movements and networks of women and men in and beyond East Asia in the early to mid-twentieth century. It focuses on Korea, which had the distinctive experience of being colonised by Japan, a non-Western colonial power. Through analysis of archival and visual materials, it explores the ways in which Korea’s interactions with Europe, North America, and other Asian countries transformed gender norms and bodily practices during Japanese rule. The project will deepen our understanding of the impact of transnational flow of people and ideas in the making of one of Australia’s most important partners in the region.
