diaspora. In Step1, several areas of interest were established, namely , , and , and a project reference library was also opened. Step 2 is currently being undertaken, entailing convergence/creativity interdisciplinary research. Through the process of carrying this research agenda forward, it will be possible to more comprehensively understand the overall ecology of the Korean-Japanese diaspora, and also to establish the cultural topography of this diaspora from the perspective of ‘glocality’. In this way, the Japanology Institute at Dongguk University hopes to establish a general diaspora research platform, and then to grow into a world-class Korean-Japanese diaspora research institute.
