AboutAbout the lab
National identity across borders
Centering on South Korea, the Manabe Lab studies Korean culture and contemporary South Korean society.
Although the lab's foundation is sociology, the professor takes an approach that spans multiple fields and therefore calls this specialty 'Korean Studies.'
The themes cover a wide range, including Korean shamanism, the transmission of folktales, the South Korean democratization movement, and the production of Korean Wave (Hallyu) dramas.
The professor believes that even themes that seem unrelated at first glance are connected through underground waterways.
