As an official Meister of World Heritage Studies in Japan, I have been engaged in fieldwork and archival research on cultural and World Heritage Sites.
My interdisciplinary research covers the eclectic heritage that hold memories of the Korean War from the perspectives of history, sociology, and anthropology. I have been conducting multidimensional research to expand my doctoral dissertation, which mainly focuses on the only UN cemetery in the world: The United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Korea (UNMCK), located in Busan, Republic of Korea. I have been sharing the results of my research in collaboration with various institutions, including the UN Archives and Management Section in the UN Headquarters, Brill, The Contested Histories Initiative, military research institutions of the UN-allied nations during the Korean War, and Korean Broadcasting System (KBS).
