Jung Lee

Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow (Sep 2017-Aug 2018)

PhD

Jung Lee was awarded her PhD from Seoul National University in 2013. In her research, Jung explores various aspects of modernity and modern techno-scientific practice in East Asia. She is interested in knowledge interactions, the relationship between social dynamics, material culture and knowledge, as well as environmental history.

When not investigating how papermaking in late Chosŏn Korea changed mountains and fields, farming practices, social relations, and ideas about artisanship and knowledge, Jung is working on a book based on her dissertation—entitled Provincially Globalized—about botanizing in Japanese colonial Korea (1910–1945). The book seeks to illuminate various provincializing forces in the globalization of modern botany, by analyzing seemingly homogeneous knowledge practices inspired by and involved in the heightened imperial competition at the turn of the twentieth century.
