[SEMU-YÉOL LECTURE] October 2019

Gender, Family, and the Changing Korean Kitchen

 

Lecturer: Jennifer Flinn

Council member of the Royal Asiatic Society

 

Korean food has undergone incredible change over the past few decades, extending its own influence globally while incorporating new foods and traditions from around the globe. Alongside these changes to diet, so too has the Korean society, including new ideas about gender and who should have access to food knowledge and be responsible for food preparation.  By looking how gender and food are shown in Korean media, particularly instructional media like cookbooks and TV shows, the lecture will examine important changes in contemporary Korean society and culture.  It will also look at how changes in Korea’s built environment have interacted with social and economic change to create new spaces for people to engage with food and for shifts in gendered ideas about who belongs in the kitchen.
