Classics in the Browning Directed by Eom Yu-naWith Yoo Hae-jin, Yoon Kye-sang, Jo Hyun-do Not Rated, 135 minutesIn Korean with English subtitles The perfect film to celebrate Hangeul Day. This historical drama with comedic flourishes is set in 1940s Korea during its period of Japanese occupation when the Korean language itself was demoted and outlawed.

The Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies presents the 2019 Korean film Mal-Mo-E (The Secret Mission), celebrating the 579th Hangul Day (Korean Alphabet Day), as part of Korea Week and the film series Voicing Intergenerational Trauma in Postwar Korea and Japan through Contemporary Cinema. Hayun Cho, assistant professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, will moderate the Q&A session after the film. About the Film Imprisoned several times during the 1940s, when Korea was under Japanese occupation, Kim Pan-Soo does not know how to read or write Korean Hangul or any other language. The Imperial Japanese government bans the teaching of Korean in the schools. He meets a representative of the Korean Language Society and joins forces to publish a dictionary of the Korean language. The story is a fictional treatment of both the work of the Korean Language Society and the 1942 Korean Language Society Incident, when Japanese authorities arrested members for allegedly supporting the independence movement. 135 minutes | PG-13 RatingDirected by Yuna EomKorean and Japanese with English subtitles Hayun Cho, assistant professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, will lead the discussion and Q&A after Mal Mo E.

Amit Prasad is an associate professor in the School of History & Sociology at Georgia Institute of Technology. He specializes in global, transnational, and postcolonial sociology and history of science, technology, and medicine. His research focuses on the history of the present — in particular, how history of colonialism continues to impact present day norms, values, and practices. His goal has been to excavate the complex and often contradictory entanglements of colonial tropes, ideologies, etc. with emergent knowledges and practices of science, technology, and medicine. Prasad also explores the visual culture of medicine, in particular its shift with the emergence of technologies such as MRI, issues of priority and invention, and scientific misinformation . He has also published on biopolitics of overseas drug trials and medical transcription and engaged with the role of history of science in films. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, American Institute of Indian Studies, among others and he has published in a number of journals, including Social Studies of Science, Science, Technology & Human Values, Theory, Culture, and Society, Cultural Geographies, Technology & Culture. His first book, Imperial Technoscience: Entangled Histories of MRI in the United States, Britain, and India (MIT Press, 2014), through a study of connected histories of MRI in the US, the UK, and India, investigated how the invention, industrial production, as well as cultures of MRI were entangled within colonial, West-centric, and Orientalist discourses. His second book, Science Studies Meets Colonialism (Polity, 2022), investigates how colonial tropes, norms, ideologies, etc. continue to animate the present, including in the fields of history of science and science and technology studies (STS). Drawing on an ethnographic study of a stem cell clinic, he is writing his third book that is tentatively titled Miracle or Science: Scientific Uncertainty, Contested Ethics, and Global Melange in a Stem Cell Laboratory. He is an editor of the journal Science, Technology and Society (Sage). He is also an avid collector of Indian art - medieval miniatures and modern and contemporary paintings and etchings. He is particularly interested in postcolonial cosmopolitanism of Indian art/artists. Prasad's lecture is sponsored by the Liu Institute's South Asia Group and Health, Humanities and Society, Reilly Center for Science Technology and Values.Lunch Provided — Please Bring Beverages In support of the Liu Institute’s growing commitment to sustainability, we will no longer be offering drinks at our public lectures and panels.

Please join the Keough-Naughton Institute for a poetry reading by Luke Morgan, recipient of the 2025 Lawrence O'Shaughnessy Award for Poetry. Luke Morgan will be reading from his new collection Blood Atlas (Arlen House, 2025). Copies of his books will be available for sale after the reading. About Blood Atlas Familial connection is at the heart of Luke Morgan’s eagerly-awaited third collection, Blood Atlas. More structured than his previous works, he navigates his lineage in the form of the villanelle, sonnet, ghazal and pantoum, seeking to make sense of his personal history. These stories are mapped with a cartographer’s eye, finding connections with ancestors such as Field Marshal Montgomery and the English physicist, James Prescott Joule. Full of striking images and timeless truths, each finely-wrought poem is ‘... an open wound’. The collection culminates in a sequence of ten sonnets which explore the lesser-known senses, whether detecting the passing of time in ‘Chronoception’ or the awareness of the body in space in ‘Proprioception’. Blood Atlas demonstrates the mature reach of a poet whose skill and memory work synergistically, creating a body of work that, like his family legacy, will endure. About Luke Morgan Luke Morgan is the recipient of the O'Shaughnessy Award 2025. Blood Atlas, his eagerly awaited third collection, from Arlen House, was completed with the assistance of a bursary from The Arts Council | An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Morgan is also the author of the poetry collections Beast (Arlen House, 2022) and Honest Walls (Arlen House, 2016). In addition to his work as a poet, Luke is also part of an award-winning filmmaker duo Morgan Brothers with the composer Jake Morgan. He lives and works in Galway, Ireland.  Originally published at irishstudies.nd.edu.
