"The course will explore how the division of the Korean peninsula not only came into being but also how it shaped the socio-political, cultural, and ideological trajectories of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) since 1945. Through scholarly writings, primary source documents, and fiction, we will examine particular themes relevant to understanding the two Koreas today, including colonialism, communism, modernization, nationalism, industrialization, ideology, US-Korean and Sino/Soviet-North Korean relations. NOTE: Space is limited as the course is associated with a study trip to Korea in late May after graduation.
