Organizations under the Institute of Humanities Research

1. “University Research Center” was established in September 2017. Its Agenda is the <History and Culture Effect of the Asia-Pacific War and the Korean War>. By using the Asia-Pacific War and the Korean War as a key link, we aim to clarify the relationship between state formation and the cultural composition of war. We explore cultural planning of colonialism and the Cold War and explain the changing process of everyday life and customs in historical context.


2. “The Center for Religious History and Culture” was established to study the history and culture of religion in the eastern part of Jeonnam area centered on Suncheon and Yeosu. In the history of the Korean Peninsula, religion played an important role in providing the ideology of the whole society. In particular, the eastern part of Jeonnam, centered on Suncheon and Yeosu, was the most representative religion center on the Korean Peninsula including Buddhism, Confucianism, Donghak and Christianity. The Center for Religious History and Culture is planning a study to find out the historical reality of the history and culture of these religions in the region and find a way to connect with Korean society today.


3. “The Regional Center for Humanities Education” was established in order to spread the research results practically in the field of popularizing education and humanities. The Center will cooperate with local governments, civic groups, and other organizations on the basis of its existing achievements to further promote regional humanities education. In order to meet the social needs of the humanities field, we will carry out the popularization project of humanities.
