Mittwoch | 18.00 Uhr | Transnational Migration and Religious Conversion among North Korean Refugees in Comparative Perspectives Dr. Jung Jin-Hoen, Freie Universität Berlin, Institut für Koreastudien This presentation examines North Korean refugee-migrants' religious encounters throughout their transnational migrations by way of China to South Korea, North America, and Europe in comparative perspectives. It investigates how some of them become voluntarily or involuntarily converted to evangelical Christianity, and ordained as professional missionaries, while others become indifferent, critical to, or disenchanted from the religion in the contexts of both divided nation and their new host societies. Their conversion to Christianity is often depicted as a signifier of a sacred triumph over the "evil" socialist North in evangelical political discourses. Such evangelical churches and missionary networks have provided secret shelters, broker-missionaries, and the "Underground railways" in China and Southeast Asian countries to South Korea and other western countries.
