The Korean Studies Research Network, an International Programs affinity group, presents this virtual talk featuring Dr. Bohyeong Kim of Vanderbilt University.

Emma Calow, a Visiting Assistant Professor in Journalism and Mass Communication will discuss how Black Women have played central roles in social justice movements: credit is not being given where credit is due. This talk will address several sections of this larger research: the lived experiences of these athletes in U.S. White patriarchy that informed their social justice activism; their motivations to engage in activism; and how these Black women athletes use social media as an avenue for activism engagement. Ultimately, I argue that these Black women athletes represent a new wave of athlete activism in which they use their disruptive power to self-empower and empower others. Moreover, this research affirms the notion that politics are a profound reality of sport, and, as such, athletes do not operate in a vacuum.

Led by UI faculty leader Tim Havens, explore how and why Budapest has become a major media hub. You will have the opportunity to visit production studios, tour famous Hungarian filming locations, and experience the film industry firsthand.
