Modern Korea: Science, Science Fiction, State & Society
How has science and technology altered modern Korean society and states? How has science and technology influenced Korean people’s speculative narratives of the future? What messages do sf literary voices convey about Korean history, society and realities? This course will consider these questions of technology, economy, ideology, society, and culture from a humanities lens using primary and secondary sources. Webinars feature Dr. Derek Kramer (University of Sheffield) and Dr. Sunyoung Park (University of Southern California). Teachers will consider how to apply Korean technoscientific history and speculative fiction to engage students and address themes and standards in instruction in the disciplines of world history, geography, and literature.
