Becoming South Korean Mothers: North Korean Defector Mothers in South Korea

Friday, March 11th, 2022 from 12:00 p.m to 1:30 p.m CT
Guest speaker Dr. Jeongeun Lee brings together two bodies of scholarship that are rarely connected: refugees/defectors and motherhood. By focusing on North Korean defector mothers’ own voices as “women” and “mothers,” – not just as “defectors,” this talk highlights that their defection status continues even after resettlement and while dealing with the process of becoming “South Koreans” and “transnational mothers” with children left behind in North Korea and/or China.

This event will be held on Zoom. Please register to attend: bit.ly/KoRN_Lee
