Kyong-Mi Danyel Kwon specializes in modern Korean literature and culture. She is interested in cultural theories, film studies, and gender issues. Some of her recent publications include “When Flowers Speak: the stories of kisaeng in Colonial Korea” (Comparative Korean Studies Vol. 21 No. 3); “The Billboards of Modern Nation and the Visual Adaptations of The Tale of Ch’unhyang in Colonial Korea” (Comparative Korean Studies Vol. 21 No. 2); and “2008 Candlelight Vigils and the Emergence of New Civil and Social Movements in Contemporary South Korea” (Collective Action: Selected Cases in Asia and Latin America, University of Colima Press & Utsunomiya University, 2011; coauthored). She is currently working on her first book project which examines the rebirth of a popular Korean folktale, "The Tale of Ch’unhyang," in Modern Korea in order to investigate the changing aesthetics of the Korean masses and the ways in which they envisioned modernity in light of the industrial and technological developments. After completing her B.A. degree in English Literature at Boston College, she received her M.A. degree in Korean Studies from Seoul National University and went on to obtain her Ph.D. degree in Korean Literature at Harvard University. Since joining Ewha in spring 2012, she has taught both undergraduate and graduate level courses in cultural and literary theories, Korean diaspora, Korean media and culture, as well as North and South Korean literatures.
