Topic: Questions on Teaching the Korean Comfort Women’s Testimonies in High School Classroom
Time/Date: October 29 (Thursday) / 30 (Friday), 4:00-6:00pm
The main goal of this workshop is for teachers to generate a set of discussion questions that would be included in the English-translation of the anthology of the Korean Comfort Women Testimony. The English translation of some of the 9 testimonies will be distributed prior to the workshop for the teachers to examine and come up with questions to discuss at the workshop. Each participant is encouraged to bring 1-2 discussion questions to the workshop.
* The participants will be compensated with a stipend and acknowledged in the anthology when published, especially those whose questions are selected for publication.
The teachers will have an opportunity 1) to become familiar with the “comfort women” issue (lecture, performance, and discussion), 2) to discuss with other teachers and scholars about how to teach the issue in classroom, 3) to be provided with teaching resources and links, and 4) to contribute to a publication related to the historically important topic. The entire event will be held over zoom for two consecutive days, from 4 to 6pm each day.
