As a Government concentrator who had lived in the United States my entire life, I was most familiar with the American political system. However, when considering my senior thesis, I knew that I wanted to have it focused on Korea. This was because as someone who has Korean immigrant parents but grew up in the United States, I had some awareness of Korean politics but wanted to gain a better understanding of specifically how Korean culture and politics are...
I went to the Ewha International Summer College (EISC) with the main goal of improving my Korean language skills. I left feeling culturally enriched, with a much greater understanding of the Korean and Korean American communities, and with friends from across the globe.
When I arrived on campus, I was greeted by my roommate from the Netherlands, and we instantly bonded over comparisons between our home countries, cultures, and...
Faculty Project: Stories of Ecological Devastation, Mental Illness, and Inequality Faculty Director: Prof. Karen Thornber
Over the summer, I researched Korean-language narratives exploring the intersections of environment, justice, and mental health to identify potential sources for Professor Thornber’s upcoming book. Through this experience, I had the chance to work with diverse sources across many genres and time periods, from Korean premodern literature to environmental campaigns in K-pop. As a neuroscience concentrator, this position was the first time I conducted research...

The past eight weeks have been a whirlwind of personal growth, cultural immersion, and unforgettable experiences that I am incredibly grateful for!
The opportunity to study abroad has always been a dream of mine. This summer, that dream became a reality as I found myself in the heart of Seoul, South Korea, exploring, learning, and forging lifelong friendships. What I had initially believed to be primarily an academic pursuit quickly transformed into a profound connection with people, places, and a culture I would have otherwise never experienced!
For 8 immersive weeks over the summer, I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Seoul, South Korea — learning more about my own culture, studying with new faces from Harvard, and making lifelong friendships with intelligent and empowering women from Ewha University.
Growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood, I was never given the opportunity or resources to explore my Korean identity. By engaging in this program, I was able to not only visit my home country for the first time, but truly experience all aspects of life in Korea. Whether it be exploring Busan on one of...
Kai Ford, ’23, East Asian Studies, Working on Prof. Hi-Sun Kim’s Language Transcription for the Korean Language Program project
My work with Professor Kim was focused on transcribing recorded interviews of Korean students from various levels of the Korean language program. The students were given a topic to discuss and then proceeded to converse freely on the topic for anywhere from 25-30 minutes. My job was to take careful note of anything from mispronunciations, lapses of speech,...
