With globalization, scholars in Korean history are grappling with the task of contributing to the larger global knowledge of Korean history as well as of exploring the ways of communicating with the world which necessitates the understanding of how Korean history is being researched outside of Korea. This article focused on the academic training of the Korean history programs in the graduate schools in North America, the most prolific site of knowledge production of Korean history outside of Korea. By interviewing seven researchers in Korean history who experienced both Korean and North American graduate schools, it examined the strengths, weaknesses, prospects of the programs and explored the possible intellectual interaction between the two academia.
The article points out that the graduate students in the Korean history programs at North American universities are trained to articulate their works within the debates of the university’s broader intellectual community mostly due to their marginalized position within the university while suffering from the lack of colleagues, difficult job market, and isolation of the field itself. The article argues that intellectual interaction among the graduate students in North America and Korea can benefit both academia. The perspective gained through the academic training that emphasizes the analysis of Korean historical experiences within the larger context of global history can inspire graduate students in Korea while the rigorous examination of primary sources and the sheer amount of research in various topics can enrich the works of graduate students in North America.
