Amongst other things, Jamie is interested in the nexus of Korean historical film, nationalism, and identity. She is also fascinated by Korea’s diplomatic relations with the various empires and imperial powers of the past. In particular, Jamie is interested in the Korean colonial era and its legacies for historiography and contemporary portrayals of colonial collaborators. As an Undergraduate Fellow, she hopes to increase awareness of Korean Studies as an academic discipline and get more people interested in studying Korean history.
