This special colloquium is brought to you by the University of Auckland's Strategic Research Hub Programme in Korean Studies, with the generous support of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS). Joseph Juhn will take us on a captivating journey through his documentaries "JERONIMO" (2019) and "CHOSEN" (2022), exploring the multifaceted experiences and identities of the Korean diaspora.

 

The session promises to be a profound exploration of diasporic consciousness and the stages of evolving identity. From a serendipitous encounter with Korean Cubans that transformed Joseph's life trajectory to his broader engagement with the global Korean community, this talk is set to deepen our understanding of diaspora and its role in shaping a collective future.

 

Your participation is highly valued as we delve into these compelling narratives and foster intellectually stimulating discussions. We look forward to your attendance and the insightful perspectives you will bring to the conversation.
