Papers for an edited volume on how Korean dramas and other forms of Korean popular culture reflect, reproduce, and challenge social inequities. We are particularly interested in South Korea’s use of ethnic and racial others in its media with a particular focus on Blackness, Islam, and immigration as well as class/capitalism, gender, and sexualities. Intersectional approaches appreciated.
