It was the period when the Carleton-in-China program (succeeding its preceding programs from the early 1900s) became deeply enmeshed with competing medical regimes that penetrated the rapidly militarizing region in inland China. Such a competition involved not just the expanding Japanese empire and its colonies (Taiwan, Korea, and Manchuria) but also selective receptivity to biomedicine of the western countries. The period also witnessed Carleton setting up its mission in the area (an elite middle school and a modern hospital, 1907-1949) where the school\u2019s representatives taught English and practiced biomedicine. While such endeavors unmistakably initiated a colonial, and by extension, post-colonial, encounter between Carleton representatives and their Chinese hosts in the venue society, I find the earlier signs of the Cold War orientation were not necessarily palpable in the region and the period we are examining. In other words, such a value orientation became consolidated only during the course of the military confrontation on the Korean peninsula (aka., the Korean War). I hope this paper presentation will open an important venue by which I can connect Carleton\u2019s recent medical (and educational) mission to the origins of the Cold War in East Asia. I argue that we can gain a better understanding of the origins of the Cold War when we give due attention to the transwar continuity and breaks. Put it another way, I contend that the college\u2019s deep involvement and investment in East Asia came to shape the keys to the postwar order in the region and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Speaker: Seungjoo Yoon (Associate Professor of History, History Department, Carleton College)<\/p>\n<p>2017-2020, Chair, History Department, Carleton College<br \/>\n2006-Present, Associate Professor of History, History Department, Carleton College<br \/>\n1999-2006, Assistant Professor of History, History Department, Carleton College<br \/>\n2003-2005, Director, East Asian Studies, Carleton College<br \/>\n2002-2003 Visiting Professor, The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, Harvard University<br \/>\n2002 (summer &amp; fall) Visiting Scholar, Central China Normal University, Wuhan &amp; The Institute of Modern History, Peking.<br \/>\n1999 Ph.
