Korean specialist to join Asian Studies Program
Her research and teaching interests cover issues of post-authoritarian politics, film industry, social movements, globalization, and migration in South Korea. Park’s book, “Unexpected Alliances: Post-Authoritarian State, Independent Film Networks, and Film Industry in South Korea,” is currently under review by Stanford University Press. In it, Park investigates the cultural and institutional roots of the Korean film industry’s phenomenal success in the context of Korea’s political transition in the late 1990s. Park is also conducting a new line of research on North Korean refugees in South Korea. While the rhetoric of “One Korea, One Nation” is prevalent in two Koreas, the social and cultural differences between North Korean defectors and South Koreans are articulated in both public discourses and everyday lives. Through this research, she examines how the social inequality between the North Korean defectors and South Koreans is being newly structured despite the strong ideology of equality based on ethnic nationalism.University Anthropology Programs - News

Studying Anthropology in Mongolia | Open Society Foundations Blog ...
In Mongolian) which has been around since the mid-1990s.
“Ethnology and ethnography in Mongolia were an incomplete discipline where high-level theoretical analysis was absent,” says Bum-Ochir Dulam, a Mongolian anthropologist and now the chair of the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the National University of Mongolia .
Established in 2004, the department is the first of its kind in the country. Professor L. Munkh-Erdene, a Mongolian anthropologist who had been living in Japan, returned to his native country to become the chair of what was then called the Department of Ethnology, which was in many ways stuck in time since Mongolia’s turbulent transition from communism in the 1990s.
"Professor Munkh-Erdene alone went through all sorts of administrative, academic, theoretical, and methodological confrontations in all levels of the department, faculty, and university, with the hopes and dreams of establishing a faculty of anthropology," says Elmira Shishkaraeva, regional manager of the Academic Fellowship Program, part of the Open Society Foundations' International Higher Education Support Program which helped fund the creation of the faculty.
"He was brave enough to persuade members in the existing ethnology department as well as other academics that it was high-time the university had its own anthropology faculty," says Bum-Ochir Dulam. “We managed to create recognition for anthropology in Mongolia to be further developed as an independent discipline. In order to gain such recognition, we re-organized and built an academic institution of anthropology."
"Thanks to the support of the Academic Fellowship Program my department has been able to recruit the best possible faculty members, to reform the departmental curriculum to offer an internationally recognized program in the field, and to create one of the best research and learning-friendly environments within the National University of Mongolia,” says Munkh-Erdene.
As Shishkaraeva explains, once the department had two anthropologists on board it became a lot easier to redesign the curriculum and introduce new courses. Their first concern was renaming the department to reflect the social and cultural dimension of anthropology, in addition to finding staff members able to teach anthropology.
“It was even more challenging to find anthropologists in Mongolia," said Shishkaraeva. “There are very few Mongolians who major anthropology, in addition to having poor facilities in post-communist Mongolian universities. Since finding an anthropologist was almost impossible they decided to recruit young scholars with some anthropological background or at least with background close to anthropology.
