Gender and Women's Studies Colloquium

Eunjung Kim, assistant professor of gender and women's studies, examines the key debates as well as literary and filmic imaginations of three historical moments in Korea -- the 1930s, early 1970s, and the late 1990s through 2000s. The debates and cultural representations center around regulating the motherhood of disabled women through legally sanctioned involuntary sterilization, construction of marriage qualifications, exploitation of reproductive ability, and medical genetic engineering.
