Research

My area of specialisation is the material and visual culture of Korea. Much of my early work has centred on the Koryŏ [Goryeo] kingdom (AD918-1392), in particular the intersection between secular and mortuary uses of ceramics and metal wares. More recently my research on Koryŏ archaeological material has driven my analysis of the shifting interpretations of cultural heritage, leading to explorations of how Koryŏ [Goryeo] tomb objects were given new meanings and identities by early twentieth century collectors. My analysis of manifestations of Korean cultural heritage and the rise of a Korean cultural consciousness also underpins my work on modern and contemporary Korean art. My teaching and research interests are closely tied. My courses include: Royal Arts of Korea, Arts of Koryŏ and Chosŏn, Modern and Contemporary Korean Art and Contemporary Korean Art in East Asia. I also contribute to team-taught theory and regional-based courses with lectures on gender, cultural heritage, art collecting and display practices.

Current research

I am currently working on a monograph on the collecting of Korean art in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
