研究领域

Current Research Interests I work in the history of science in Korea, focusing particularly on the modern transformation of Korean science from seventeenth to early twentieth century. Specifically my research deals with the transmission of European science into the intellectual society of late Choson period and the subsequent interaction between the foreign science and the traditional knowledge of nature. Opposing to the conventional historiography that has emphasized the ‘modernizing’ influence of Western science on the late Choson shirak scholarship, my research highlights the efforts of yangban literati to incorporate the foreign science into the indigenous system of knowledge, the efforts that produced a hybrid of the East Asian and European knowledge of nature. Recently I am trying to expand my research scope to the early twentieth century, especially Japanese colonial period, when the modern Western (or Japanese) science eventually took the place of the indigenous knowledge of nature. I am interested in how the Japanese colonial rule used science, technology, and medicine to strengthen its political, cultural, and ideological dominance over Korea and how Korean nationalistic intellectuals (and the nascent group of Korean scientists) shaped their own agenda for the advancement of ‘national’ science in the colonial context.
