The Korea Now Podcast #16 – Alexis Dudden – 'Dokdo or Takeshima - The Ruse of History'

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Alexis Dudden. They speak about the ongoing island dispute between Korea and Japan over Dokdo/Takeshima, the validity of each sides claim, the frame this issue now provides for the modern national identity of both countries, and the insight it offers to lingering Japanese-Korean tensions and questions of wartime guilt, apologies and reparations. Alexis Dudden is a Professor of History at the University of Connecticut, and she has been a Fulbright Professor, Faculty Member and/or Visiting Fellow at Yonsei University, Princeton University, Niigata International and Information University, Harvard University, Seoul National University, and Rikkyo University. Alexis is the author of 'Japan's Colonization of Korea: Discourse and Power' and 'Troubled Apologies Among Japan, Korea, and the United States'.
