About

An online seminar series about the Imjin War and its aftermath, featuring research talks by members of the Aftermath team and invited speakers. The series ran between 2019-2024.

Founded in 2019 as a traditional seminar series, the format of the Aftermath research seminar was switched to a Zoom webinar in 2020 in response to the logistical challenges posed by the global pandemic.

The webinar took place once a month during term time during the period when the Aftermath project was running, ending in October of 2024.

Below, you will find details of the yearly programs, as well as audio and video files of presentations that were recorded.
