The Department of History invites Philip Ahn Cuddy to shed light on 'The History and Independence Movement of the Korean American Community'

Gyeongsang National University held an invited lecture by Philip Ahn Cuddy, grandson of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho ▸Topic: The history of the Korean American community in the United States as told by a descendant of an independence activist ▸“An opportunity to view Korean American history from the perspective of minority history” Gyeongsang National University (GNU; President Kwon Jin-hoe) College of Humanities, Department of History (Department Chair Oh Se-hyun) hosted the “2026 academic year 1st semester GNU-GradEdge Invited Lecture” on the afternoon of May 19 at the College of Humanities Academy Hall on the Gajwa Campus, inviting Mr. Philip Ahn Cuddy, the grandson of independence activist Dosan Ahn Chang-ho and son of Susan Ahn Cuddy. The lecture was organized under the theme “The history of the Korean American community in the United States as told by a descendant of an independence activist,” and was attended by about 30 people, including Department of History faculty and undergraduate/graduate students, Gyeongsang National University faculty and staff, and local citizens. Philip Ahn Cuddy served as the founding director of the Korean American Museum in LA, and he is currently the administrator of the Dosan Ahn Chang-ho·Susan Ahn Cuddy Archives, continuing research on the Korean American community and Korean immigration history. In the lecture, Philip Ahn Cuddy introduced the settlement process of Koreans who migrated to the United States in the early 20th century and the history of early community formation, emphasizing that the formation of the Korean American community and the independence movement were closely interconnected. He also presented critical views on the designation of “Pachappa Camp” as a cultural-historic site and the push to establish the “Korean American Heritage Center,” which have recently become controversial within the Korean American community in the United States. He emphasized that historical preservation projects for remembrance and commemoration require sufficient verification of historical facts and broad public deliberation within the community, pointing out that such projects should not be skewed toward particular interests. The Department of History at Gyeongsang National University assessed that this lecture became an opportunity to view Korean American history in the United States, previously understood mainly through the lens of Korean history, from new perspectives of minority history and diaspora history. It also stated that by hearing firsthand the experiences of a local researcher and records-preservation activist, students had a meaningful time reflecting on the social responsibility of historical research and a practical attitude toward it. Susan Ahn, the eldest daughter of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, served during World War II as the first Asian American woman officer in the U.S. Navy and as a female gunnery officer. After discharge, she worked at the National Security Agency, devoted herself to the development of the Korean immigrant community and the education of the next generation, and in American society has been regarded as one of the “UNSUNG WOMEN,” little-known female heroes in U.S. history. ㅇ Photo description: The Department of History, College of Humanities, Gyeongsang National University (GNU), hosted the “2026 academic year 1st semester GNU-GradEdge Invited Lecture” at 4 p.m. on May 19 at the College of Humanities Academy Hall on the Gajwa Campus, inviting Mr. Philip Ahn Cuddy, the grandson of independence activist Dosan Ahn Chang-ho and son of Susan Ahn Cuddy. ㅇ For inquiries: Department of History, College of Humanities, Gyeongsang National University 055-772-1080This page is provided via AI machine translation.

Gyeongnam Culture Research Institute: The fruit of establishing the scholarly system of ‘Gang-u Studies (江右學)’, carrying on Nammyeong Studies

Gyeongsang National University Gyeongnam Institute of Culture publishes a total of 19 volumes of the ‘Gang-u Studies Series’ ▸A research outcome that compiles the scholarly activities of Gang-u literati during the modern transition period ▸A comprehensive compilation of 1st-phase (3 years) research from the Humanities and Social Research Institute Support Program… establishing a hub for Gang-u Studies research ▸10 volumes of the ‘Gang-u Studies Research Series’, 7 volumes of the ‘Gang-u Studies Source Series’, and 2 volumes of the ‘Gang-u Studies Translation Series’ Gyeongsang National University (GNU; President Kwon Jinhoe) Gyeongnam Institute of Culture’s Humanities and Social Research Institute Support Program (Principal Investigator: Professor Kang Jeong-hwa, Department of Classical Chinese) has published a total of 19 volumes of the ‘Gang-u Studies Series’, which compiles the academic traditions and knowledge networks of the Gang-u region (the present-day Gyeongnam area) during the modern transition, as well as the ideological dynamism of regional Confucianism. This series is the culmination that compiles the 1st phase (1st–3rd year) research outcomes of the Ministry of Education and National Research Foundation of Korea’s Humanities and Social Research Institute Support Program launched in 2023, and is the fruit of a collective study that comprehensively covers the scholarly activities and thought of literati in the Gang-u region, their networks of association, learning spaces, travel writings, studies of the Confucian classics, primary texts, and translation achievements. Over the 3 years of the 1st phase, the participating researchers systematically carried out reviews of prior research on eight major schools active in the Gang-u region during the modern transition; built databases (DBs) of literati and shrine records; investigated materials on lecture gatherings and travelogues; and studied learning spaces. On this basis, they have in earnest presented the possibility of establishing ‘Gang-u Studies (江右學)’ as a new regional studies field and an independent academic discipline. The ‘Gang-u Studies Series’ published this time totals 19 volumes. Specifically, it consists of 10 volumes of the ‘Gang-u Studies Research Series’ studying the scholarship and thought of Gang-u literati; 7 volumes of the ‘Gang-u Studies Source Series’ compiling primary sources such as Literati Registers, Shrine Records, and Records of Lecture Gatherings; and 2 volumes of the ‘Gang-u Studies Translation Series’ translating inscription texts (gimun) of lecture gatherings and learning spaces. In addition, the publication of this series also commemorates the completion of the 1st-phase research and the confirmation of continued support for the 2nd phase. Going forward, over the 3 years and 6 months of the 2nd phase, the Gyeongnam Institute of Culture will carry out Gang-u Studies research with a total of 1.12 billion won in support, combining national funding and university matching funds. The 2nd-phase research will focus on the Neo-Confucian scholarly issues of Gang-u literati; social activities such as righteous armies and the independence movement; and research to develop content for cultural spaces in the Gang-u region such as seowon (Confucian academies), pavilions, temples, and famous mountains. In this way, they plan to develop Gang-u Studies beyond a mere regional history of Confucianism into an interdisciplinary research domain integrating history, philosophy, classical Chinese literature, and cultural content studies, and to explore the contemporary applicability of the Gang-u region’s humanistic assets. Principal Investigator Kang Jeong-hwa said, “During the modern transition, the Gang-u region was an unprecedented scholarly space where multiple schools in the Toegye and Yulgok lineages coexisted upon the tradition of Nammyeong studies, adorning the final chapter of Joseon Confucian history.” He added, “The publication of this ‘Gang-u Studies Series’ is the first achievement to bind previously scattered regional research into a unified academic system, and it will be an important milestone in establishing Gang-u Studies, which inherits Nammyeong studies, as a new paradigm for next-generation regional studies.” The list of the ‘Gang-u Studies Research Series’ is as follows. ▣ Gang-u Studies Research Series (10 volumes) - The status and development of Gang-u intellectual–literati groups during the modern transition - Exchanges between Yeongnam and Honam by Gang-u intellectuals during the modern transition - The scholarship and thought of Nobaekheon Jeong Jae-gyu - The associates and literati of Nobaekheon Jeong Jae-gyu - The scholarship and thought of Myeonu Gwak Jong-seok - Myeonu Gwak Jong-seok’s studies of the Confucian classics - A Study of the Literature of Myeonu Gwak Jongseok - A Study of the Literature of Myeonu Gwak Jongseok 2 - Travel Writings and Perceptions of the Times of the Gangwoo Literati during the Modern Transition - Ganghoe Activities and Lecture Spaces of the Gangwoo Literati during the Modern Transition ▣ Gangwoo Studies Source Series (7 volumes) - Sanhae Record of the Origins of Teachers and Friends, Deokcheon Record of the Origins of Teachers and Friends (山海師友淵源錄, 德川師友淵源錄) - Record of the Origins of Teachers and Friends of Nammyeong Jo Sik and Master Nammyeong’s Separate Collection (南冥先生別集) - Seongjae School Roster of Disciples (性齋學派門人錄) - Nosa School Roster of Disciples (蘆沙學派門人錄) - Jeongjae·Hanju Schools Roster of Disciples (定齋·寒洲學派門人錄) - Nosa School (蘆沙學派) - Jeongjae·Seongjae·Hanju·Yeonjae·Ganjae Schools (定齋·性齋·寒洲·淵齋·艮齋學派) ▣ Gangwoo Studies Translation Series (2 volumes) - Ganghoe Spaces of the Gangwoo Literati during the Modern Transition 1 - Ganghoe Spaces of the Gangwoo Literati during the Modern Transition 2 ㅇ Photo description: A photo of the 19 volumes of the ‘Gangwoo Studies Series’ published under the Gyeongsang National University (GNU) Gyeongnam Institute of Culture Humanities and Social Sciences Research Institute Support Project ㅇ For inquiries: Gyeongsang National University Gyeongnam Institute of Culture Humanities and Social Sciences Research Institute Support Project 055-772-2504This page is provided via AI machine translation.

Gyeongsang National University successfully concludes the ‘Bizcool Camp’ to nurture regional youth startup talent ▸Jointly hosted by the Startup-Centered University Project Group and the Glocal University Entrepreneurship Center ▸Early discovery and cultivation of youth startup talent; fostering an entrepreneurial mindset ▸Strengthening hands-on capabilities from business plan writing to mock IR pitches Gyeongsang National University (GNU; President Kwon Jin-hoe) Startup-Centered University Project Group (Head Choi Byeong-geun) and the Glocal University Entrepreneurship Center (Director Kim Ga-young, Professor, Department of Business Administration) successfully held the “2026 GNU Next-Generation Bizcool Camp” on the morning of May 16 at the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME) Busan-Gyeongnam Training Center to foster entrepreneurship and strengthen startup competencies among youth in the Gyeongnam region. This camp was organized to build a youth startup education system and to identify and nurture regional startup talent at an early stage, based on strong cooperation among Gyeongsang National University’s Startup-Centered University Project Group, the Glocal University Project Group, and the Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education. The event drew about 100 middle and high school students from Gyeongnam, including operating schools of the “Youth Bizcool” program run by the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development (KISED) under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS), such as Jeungsan High School and Yangsan Girls’ Middle School, generating great enthusiasm. The program focused on hands-on, practice-based startup education tailored to youth. The main components proceeded as follows: ▲ team building and Business Model (BM) advancement to refine startup ideas ▲ business plan drafting through close expert mentoring ▲ a hackathon to visualize ideas ▲ IR pitching and mock practice simulating real-world fundraising—maximizing participants’ problem-solving capabilities. In particular, by separating middle and high school students into different groups and providing tailored business plan mentoring, students were able to concretize their startup ideas. Based on assigned tasks, they prepared their own prototype presentation materials and gained practical experience by taking part in mock IR presentations similar to actual fundraising processes. Notably, by linking with the “Youth Bizcool” program overseen by KISED under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, the camp was highly regarded for serving as a bridge to help participants move beyond simple instruction and advance successfully to upcoming startup competitions. It is cited as a best-practice case in which the university’s strong human and physical infrastructure combined with local middle and high school classrooms to create synergy. Choi Byeong-geun, Head of Startup Support, said, “This camp is significant in that the university and the Office of Education worked together to instill an entrepreneurial spirit in youth, the future driving force of the region,” adding, “Going forward, Gyeongsang National University will spare no effort not only in advancing a deep-tech startup ecosystem centered on regionally specialized industries, but also in the early discovery and nurturing of youth as potential entrepreneurs.” Kim Ga-young, Head of the Entrepreneurship Center, said, “This camp was a valuable opportunity for youth to move beyond education that searches for a single right answer and instead discover problems on their own and find solutions,” adding, “We will continue to expand practical, experience-based entrepreneurship education programs so that young people can challenge themselves freely without fear of failure.” Meanwhile, the Gyeongsang National University Startup-Centered University Project Group recently finalized the selection of 68 companies as beneficiaries of the 2026 Startup-Centered University support program and will fully roll out multifaceted startup support programs—such as tailored acceleration, global expansion, and investment networking—to help the selected companies grow stably. ㅇ Photo caption: The GNU Startup-Centered University Project Group and the Entrepreneurship Center successfully held the “2026 GNU Next-Generation Bizcool Camp” on May 16 at the KOSME Busan-Gyeongnam Training Center in Changwon. ㅇ Inquiries: Gyeongsang National University Startup-Centered University Project Group 055-772-4687This page is provided via AI machine translation.

In particular, this tour was more than a simple overseas training; it added meaning as field-based education exploring the practical applicability of a region-based wellness industry. The trainees shared diverse opinions on directions for developing region-specialized wellness programs focused on healing, meditation, and rest by leveraging the natural environment and traditional cultural resources of Jirisan and Sancheong. Dr. 강덕제, who oversees the program, said, “The wellness industry is rapidly expanding as a future growth industry that integrates tourism, healthcare, healing, meditation, beauty, and food culture,” adding, “Through field-centered education and studies of leading overseas cases, it is important to discover high value-added industrial models that utilize regional resources and to cultivate skilled professionals.” Dr. 강덕제 also said, “Sancheong and Jirisan are among Korea’s leading wellness resource regions, simultaneously possessing traditional Korean medicine and natural healing resources, traditional culture, and ecological environments,” and added, “I hope this overseas advanced-site tour will give trainees a perspective that goes beyond simple experiences to designing the region’s future industry.” Gyeongsang National University plans to continue expanding overseas advanced-site tours and field-centered education to help invigorate the wellness industry in the Sancheong-Jirisan area and to train region-tailored professionals. ㅇ Photo description: As part of Gyeongsang National University (GNU)’s RISE project, the Sancheong Wellness Expert Training Course conducted an overseas study tour of leading wellness sites in Da Nang, Vietnam, from May 11 to 15, for 25 trainees of the 2nd cohort. ㅇ For inquiries: Gyeongsang National University Sancheong Wellness Expert Training Course 055-772-4740This page is provided via AI machine translation.
