Workshop
Bastiaan Seo Vin Flikweert
We will explore the following questions: How were adult children of Korean adoptees socialised in regards to their ethnic and racial identity? How have adult children of Korean adoptees internalised their parent’s narrative around adoption? How did their parent’s adoption from South Korea impact their own upbringing and identity?
