FIELD RECORDER

Gachon Herald — *what a Korean history student notices about modern Korean history, campus life, and the news affecting my generation*.

I started writing about Korean history because the standard textbook treatment did not match what I was learning when I actually engaged with primary sources and with the historians whose work I was reading for class. The textbook version was tidy. The actual history was messier. I started writing as a way to work through the gap between what I had been taught and what the sources actually showed.

The site has expanded since then to include campus life and news topics that affect young Koreans. The writing remains first-person because that is what I actually have to offer — my perspective as a student trying to understand things, not authority I have not yet earned. When I get something wrong I will say so. When my understanding changes I will say that too. The site is honest engagement with the topics rather than performed expertise.
