"Among sinologists the study of Japanese is now _de rigueur_, and surely none would dispute the usefulness of Japanese as a sinological tool."

Many thanks to Nikolai Johnsen (British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, SOAS University of London) for giving a guest talk on "Korean memories of wartime forced labour and the 'history war'" in Copenhagen last week. If you are looking for a really good presenter on this topic, reach out to him. 🤩

Will democracy survive? When I had the chance to talk about Seungsook Moon's new book with the author and Yoonkyung Lee, I didn't expect the last question of the interview to be so timely. But here we are...Enjoy!

For your consideration, a poster promoting vasectomies in a Seoul hospital.
Very interesting font and style here, I think.
I would dig an oral history of how this poster came to be . . .
Oh, and better say linguistic landscape to make this searchable!

A vasectomy poster with a man smiling and with the colors faded. A lot of the style is dated as well.
