The focus of this conference is to spotlight the intersection of US military presence and Korean society, focusing on the US military camptown areas of Korea and the lives of people who live and lived there, as well as the historical context surrounding the adoption of thousands of mixed-race Koreans overseas and the historical trajectory of the US military camptowns in Korea. The conference will also include one session to discuss the historical trajectory of the US military camptowns in South Korea via geopolitical and socio-economic perspectives. This conference will feature several academic presentations, films and filmmakers, and a panel of Koreans of mixed descent. We hope you can join us!
