Both seminars will be held online once a month and is open to anyone interested through pre-registration. In “Migration and Integration” leading experts will address current issues of migration at home and abroad and discuss ideas to create an inclusive society where migrants and refugees live together on the base of coexistence and empathy. The seminar “Creating an Inclusive Society” provides a space to seek inclusive policy alternatives and create a sustainable future together by sharing opinions on issues related to care, gender, and social development with experts from all walks of life.   MORE INFORMATION FOR THE "MIGRATION AND INTEGRATION" SEMINAR HERE   MORE INFORMATION FOR THE "CREATING AN INCLUSIVE SOCIETY" SEMINAR HERE “I DO IT BECAUSE I LIKE IT, SO I DON'T THINK OF IT AS A SACRIFICE"    Given the increasing number of men providing care in recent years, there is an anticipation for the emergence of a new masculinity. Caring masculinity is an attitude that accepts the emotional, relational, and interdependent nature of care as part of the masculine identity, unlike patriarchal masculinity. Most men do it because they like caring for elderly parents and children, but they do not consider it a sacrifice. Hyuna Moon, senior researcher at CTMS, conducted in-depth interviews with nine male caregivers. These cases are analyzed in terms of wages, working hours, and gender equality ideology, and explore the socio-cultural conditions in which caring masculinity can be expanded.   READ CTMS' BRIEF ON "SEARCHING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF CARING MASCULINITY" (Korean) LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS JOURNAL ARTICLE "SEARCHING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF CARING MASCULINITY" (Korean) REVIEW OF "UNDYING" & "ACCIDENTAL DISEASE, INEVITABLE DEATH"   Two books that dwell on the pain of battling cancer. However, both authors, one a poet and the other one a philosopher respectively, do not stop at documenting the process of suffering from the disease, but dive deeper into making readers ponder about the relationship between disease and care. When a person suffering from the pain of disease reflects on the various conclusions of life, either as an individual and a member of the community, he/she thinks revalues the value and meaning of care.   SHORTCUT TO BLOG "READING TWO BOOKS ON 'DISEASE' THROUGH THE LENS OF CARE" (Korean) WHY GENDER POLICIES MATTER FOR KOREA'S FUTURE   As the world celebrated International Women’s Day on March 8th, Korea was reminded that despite its economic miracle, it still has a long way to go to achieve gender equality. Not only did the country underscore in various gender parity measuring instruments, but it is also currently facing one of its biggest social challenges: a politically charged anti-feminist movement. Amidst a widening wage gap, increasing burden of care duties and an incoming political agenda that threatens to set back gender gains, this blog highlights the importance of gender policies and why they are necessary for Korea’s future growth.   READ THIS BLOG HERE Copyright © 2022 Center for Transnational Migration and Social Inclusion, All rights reserved.
