동북아 역사와 감염병
History of Northeast Asia, and Infectious Diseases The spread of COVID-19 is not breaking. In history, various infectious diseases, natural disasters, famine, and war have disturbed and paralyzed society. In particular, diseases such as infectious diseases have had a profound global impact across the borders of regions and countries according to their origin, propagation path, and inter-state exchanges. Researching and examining the perception and human response methods of Northeast Asia, which has experienced disasters in common, will be an opportunity to diagnose the problems of the times when disasters have become everyday and to prepare for post COVID-19 by reflecting on the present.
동아시아 100년 방역, 무엇이 달라졌나
What has changed in the past 100 years of 'Disease Control and Prevention' in East Asia? Is the epidemic of COVID-19 a crisis or an opportunity? Civilization makes disease, and disease makes civilization. The global epidemic of infectious diseases such as Ebola, SARS, MERS and Zika, and the WHO's Pandemic Declaration suggest that the current civilization, public health and industrial systems have reached a turning point. A country or organization that can not adapt to a new environment will be culled, and a country and organization that overcomes the crisis will lead a new civilization.

재해, 전염병, 기근은 역사 발전에 어떤 영향을 끼쳤나: 코로나, 대전환의 시대
The Age of Great Transition: How did disaster, epidemic and famine affect historical development? COVID-19 and global warming, which humans are currently experiencing, show that this era has faced a crisis. There have been times in history when climate change, disasters, infectious diseases, and famine have pushed humans into global danger. That was the Little Ice Age of the 17th century, when the average temperature was about 1 to 1.5 °C lower than today. In China, there were Ming-Qing replacements, and in Korea, there were two great famines in which more than 1 million people died. We met with Professor Kim Moon-ki of Pukyong National University, who has studied the impact of the climate change in the Little Ice Age on East Asian history, and talked about what we can learn from disasters, infectious diseases and famine at that time.

『한국고대사 계승 인식』 I, II 발간
『The Cognition of Succession : The Ancient History of Korea』 I, II What country was Gojoseon, Goguryeo, and Balhae? Although their history is Korean history, today's Chinese and Japanese academics and history textbooks describe Chinese history, countries belonging to Japan, and countries dedicated to tribute. This book is the result of a study that reviewed and criticized the history distortions of China and Japan, along with how Gojoseon, Goguryeo, and Balhae were inherited and recognized during the premodern and modern periods.

『일본은 왜 독도에 집착할까』: 일본 국회의사록을 중심으로
『Why Can’t Japan Let Go Dokdo』: Focus on the National Assembly Record of Japan In Japan, Dokdo is called Takeshima. In the old days, Japan called Dokdo Matsushima and Ulleungdo Takeshima. However, in 1905, Dokdo was forced to be incorporated into Shimane Prefecture, abandoning its existing name and beginning to call it Takeshima. It was because Japanese people in the middle of the 17th century had fishery in the sea near Ulleungdo. Why did Japan abandon the name that it had maintained for more than 200 years and call Dokdo Takeshima? I will not be the only one who is curious about this.

한국의 독도주권 침탈 시도인 일본의 ICJ 제소 가능한가?
Why is Japan trying to invade Korea's sovereignty over Dokdo by filing a complaint with the ICJ? The ICJ(International Court of Justice) is the principal judicial organ of the UN, as stated in Chapter 14 (92) of the Charter of the UN. Established in 1945 to resolve legal disputes between countries under international law, the ICJ is one of the six major institutions of the UN and is located in The Hague, Netherlands.

쿤밍 수용소 여성들의 집으로 오는 길
The way home: the story of women who were held in Kunming camp On September 7, 1944, the fierce battle between the Chinese expeditionary forces and the Japanese army in Songsan, Yunnan Province, China, ended for about 100 days. On September 14, Japanese troops were annihilated in the Téngchōng area. At the battle scene, the body of the Japanese ‘Sexual slavery victims’ was found among the Japanese soldiers who were killed or committed suicide. Of course, there was also a ‘Sexual slavery victims’ who fled or were rescued by the Chinese army. The newspaper 『Roundup』, read by U.S. troops stationed in the China-Burma-India(CBI) military strategic area, reported on the ‘Sexual slavery victims’ discovered during the Battle of Yunnan on November 30, 1944.

장애학생에게도 독도 교육이 필요하다: 영토 정체성을 갖춘 시민성 함양
Students with disabilities need to be educated about Dokdo: Cultivating Citizenship with Territorial Identity Dokdo is the territory of the Republic of Korea, a long history and the present. It is very natural for Koreans to know Dokdo and have a heart to care about. The reason why education on Dokdo is important in schools is that knowledge and consciousness of territory form the identity of the nation and people, and foster democratic citizenship as a national issue at the geographical and political level.
