POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\" <\/td>\nJimin Choi<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship for the academic year of 2025-2026. His project, \u201cThe Relocation of Psychoanalysis in South Korea: A study of Psy-Sciences in East Asia (1910-2020),\u201d will examine the circulation of Western psychological Sciences in East Asia throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, with a special emphasis on the intellectual, scientific, and cultural adaptation of psychoanalytic knowledge in both colonial Korea (1910-1945) and postcolonial South Korea (1945-2020). He will explore how these dynamics have evolved over the 20th and 21st centuries, contributing to a broader understanding of scientific and intellectual exchanges, not only between the East and West but also among East Asian countries with shared historical and cultural legacies, such as the influence of Japanese colonization and the use of sinograms.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\nShanshan Gao<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship for the academic year of 2025\u20132026. Her book project, \u201cOpiate, Psychotropics, and Acupuncture Anaesthesia: The Chinese Communist Party\u2019s Battlefield Medicine and its Impacts (1927\u20131999),\u201d investigates a significant link between the CCP\u2019s advocacy for the \u201cunification of Chinese and Western medicine\u201d during the Yan\u2019an era (1935\u20131947) and the indispensable role of opium-based drugs in treating battlefield injuries and providing economic benefits. This book will examine the production and utilization of opiate preparations within CCP base areas; the exportation and distribution of opium and its derivatives from CCP base areas to the Kuomintang-controlled regions, Hong Kong, Macau, Korea, Japan, and America; and the origins, invention, development, decline, and global influence of acupuncture anesthesia.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"\"<\/td>\nMiryang Kang<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Dissertation Fellowship for the academic year of 2025-2026. Her dissertation, \u201cThe Robot at the Margins of Medicine: Robotic Rehabilitation and the Contours of Disability and Ability in South Korea,\u201d investigates how robots have changed rehabilitation practices and the conceptions of disability in South Korea by combining historical analysis of the Korean rehabilitation system since the 1960s and ethnography of robots. The transformation of medicine by robots has occurred through three processes at the epistemological, clinical, and institutional margins of medicine, which changed the definition of paralysis from a permanently fixed condition to a temporary state open to normalcy. She argues that this redefinition of paralysis in South Korean rehabilitation system has changed the basic relationship between clinics and homes (or cure and care) for disabled lives.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\nAijie Shi<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Dissertation Fellowship for the academic year of 2025-2026. Her dissertation, \u201cExperimenting with Aquatic Productivity: The Life History of Fisheries Science in Cold War China (1946-1960),\u201d examines the evolution of fisheries science, a state-led initiative that utilizes interdisciplinary knowledge from biology, chemistry, hydrology, and engineering to transform aquatic ecosystems into productive and exploitable resources for the purpose of social rehabilitation, international trade, and socialist construction. Focusing on three model projects\u2014shark liver oil production, kelp transplantation, and reservoir-fishery construction\u2014, she analyzes the state\u2019s scientific engagement with various aquatic ecosystems across the domains of fishing, mariculture, and reservoir aquaculture in the Cold War period.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\nNarusa Yamato<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Dissertation Fellowship for the academic year of 2025-2026. Her dissertation, \u201cMilk for the Nation: A History of the Japanese Dairy Industry, 1854-1952,\u201d explores how regionally-based dairy entrepreneurs acquired knowledge, technology, and cows from a diverse range of countries across East Asia, Europe, and the United States. By doing so, these regional businessmen\u2014together with the state, physicians, livestock experts, and local farmers\u2014were instrumental in advancing Japanese capitalism by linking local economics to global networks. This study also examines how the Japanese dairy industry overcame the various difficulties when this new industry started in the mid-19th century and successfully incorporated new ideas and tools throughout the period.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
