SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Private Violence and the Law in Late Chosŏn Korea
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/QwX2k\n\nThis lecture examines how the Chosŏn State addressed the problem of private violence\, focusing on adultery-related homicides. While the State criminalized adultery under legal codes\, the law allowed a notable exception that justified private violence: if a husband killed his wife and her lover when caught in the act\, he could be exempt from punishment. By the late eighteenth century\, the exception was more broadly interpreted\, extending leniency to other kin\, such as sons and brothers-in-law\, and loosening the requirement that the killing occur immediately at the scene. Did these developments reflect a weakening of state authority\, or a different logic of governance? The lecture argues that they embodied the state’s effort to reconcile centralized legal authority with Confucian ideals of familial honor\, thereby illuminating how Chosŏn Korea negotiated the boundary between public governance and private moral obligation.\n   \nHa-kyoung Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Academy of Korean Studies. Her research investigates the intersections of law\, authority\, and governance in premodern Asia\, with a particular emphasis on the legislative processes and legal practices of Chosŏn Korea (1392–1910). She is currently working on two projects: Confucian Moral Ethics\, Moral Crimes\, and the State in Chosŏn Korea (funded by the National Research Foundation\, 2025-2027) and Koreans’ Legal Literacy: Its Historical Formation and Development (supported by the Institute for Legal Studies at Yonsei University\, 2025-2031). Her recent publications include “Roles and Challenges of Legal Officials During King Chŏngjo’s Reign\,” The Journal of Korean Studies (forthcoming in Vol. 31\, no. 2\, 2026). This lecture draws from her ongoing research as a Visiting Scholar at the Nam Center for Korean Studies\, University of Michigan.\n   \n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop for students that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\nhttps://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/19663

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museums in Time of Polycrisis
DESCRIPTION:As a global polycrisis continues to impact modern day life\, perhaps no other institution is experiencing the impact of rapid change more than the American museum. In this talk\, Dr. Moore will identify and name the challenges to museums and the impact on visitors\, communities\, and museum professionals. What is the value of the museum in the 21st century? How can those who love museums fight back to preserve the positive benefits of museums as these institutions work hard to preserve memory\, archive human activity\, and work to tell inclusive\, truthful\, and powerful stories? Dr. Moore will outline the promise of cultural institutions and discuss how we need museums now more than ever to help us make meaning of our lives\, create places of respite and refuge\, and foster welcoming for all communities\; especially those with histories of oppression and marginalization.\n\nDr. Porchia Moore is the Associate Director of the Center for Arts\, Migration\, and Entrepreneurship and Associate Professor and Director of Museum Studies at the University of Florida. She is the Co-Director of the international collaboratory\, The Incluseum\, and the co-founder of the Visitors of Color Project. Her scholarship examines the relationship between digital technologies\, race\, identity\, and communities.
