Sociolinguistic Futures Network partner Junehui Ahn, Professor of Urban Sociology at the 窪蹋勛圖厙 of Seoul, has published a new monograph with Rutgers 窪蹋勛圖厙 Press.
Her monograph, Between Self and Community: Childrens Personhood in a Globalized South Korea investigates the early childhood socialization process in a rapidly changing, globalizing South Korea. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in a South Korean preschool, it shows how both children and teachers interactively navigate, construct, and reconstruct their own multifaceted and sometimes conflicting models of what makes a good child amid Koreas shifting educational and social contexts.
