SUMMARY:Police as Allies: Protester Perceptions and Cooperation in South Korea's Candlelight Protests
DESCRIPTION:Join the Korean Studies Research Network (KoRN) for a virtual lecture by sociologist Dr. Junghyun Nam exploring the relationship between protesters and police during South Korea’s 2016-17 Candlelight Protests. \nAlthough these protests have been widely celebrated for their peaceful\, civic\, and democratic character\, particularly the harmonious relationship between protesters and police\, the process through which this cooperation emerged remains underexplored. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and supplementary sources\, Nam examines how protesters came to perceive police as allies rather than adversaries. She explores how cultural understandings of police legitimacy\, knowledge of the auxiliary police system\, and collective memories of past repression helped shape cooperation between protesters and law enforcement. \nRegister to attend at https://uiowa.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tGKJl_JlShihLTkLsGQTgg \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Junghyun Nam is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and a research affiliate at the Movement Engaged Hub\, both at George Mason University. She is currently working on a book project that examines the emergence of civility as a normative-regulatory system and its influence on boundary-work within protest events. She is also coordinating a collaborative working paper project on data center development and community resistance in the United States. Her work has been published in Mobilization: An International Quarterly. \nThe Korean Studies Research Network aims to bring together scholars whose research focuses on Korea-related topics and to provide mentoring to the younger generation of scholars. It serves as a platform to facilitate collaborative and interdisciplinary research among scholars and graduate students at the University of Iowa and institutions of higher education in the Midwest through seminars\, speaker series\, and workshops. \nThese events are made possible through generous support from International Programs and The Stanley-University of Iowa Foundation Support Organization at the University of Iowa. \nIndividuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program\, please contact Daniel Vorwerk in advance at 319-497-1619 or daniel-vorwerk@uiowa.edu.

SUMMARY:Haunted Tractor Rides
DESCRIPTION:Something has been spotted in the orchard after dark… 👀🌙 \nRed eyes flicker between the rows. Shadows move where nothing should be moving. Strange sounds follow Bessie’s trailer\, where ghostly spirits\, massive spiders\, and things far worse may be waiting in the dark. \nWhen the calendar turns to October\, the orchard gets a little darker. Haunted Tractor Rides begin October 1st. \nThis year’s ride is not for the faint of heart. Each ride lasts approximately 30-35 minutes and carries brave riders through eerie orchard trails\, chilling scenes\, and the kind of shadows that make you wonder who\, or what\, is riding beside you. 👻 \nRecommended for ages 7+. If you’re looking for a gentler experience\, the 7pm ride each night is an all-ages version for families who want the Halloween magic without the nightmares. \nTickets are limited by time slot\, and these rides are known to sell fast. Choose your night\, gather your group\, and book before the tractor leaves without you. \n📅 Thu\, Fri & Sat nights in October\n⏰ Ride times: 7pm\, 8pm\, or 9pm\n🎟️ $20 per person\, online only\n👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Ages 7+ recommended\, 7pm rides are all-ages friendly
