經歷

Seong Nae Kim is currently Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at Sogang University. Her area of research is anthropology of religion, focusing on Korean religions and gender studies. She is also a founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Korean Religions (JKR), the only English-language academic journal dedicated to the study of Korean religions, which was launched in the autumn of 2010 by the Institute for the Study of Religion at Sogang University. During her stay at the Harvard-Yenching Institute (2015-2016), she undertook research and writing for her book manuscript, tentatively entitled "Violence and Cultural Memory in Korea." During her stay at Soochow University (Oct 2018 – June 2019), she will continue to undertake research and writing for completing her book manuscript. By drawing on contemporary issues of violence and memory in Asia, her research explores the way in which the legacies of the Cheju April Third (4.3) Event in 1948, which is regarded by scholars as the direct precursor of the Korean War and one of the first outbreaks of violent ideological conflict in the early Cold War, are inter-generationally transmitted and reenacted in the practices of postmemory concerning commemoration and kinship.
