Assistant Professor of Anthropology Haeng-ja Chung presented a paper at the Wenner-Gren Workshop on Translational Migration in East Asia at the University of California, Berkeley, in November. She illustrated the crucial role of the nightclubs for the development of a Korean migrant community in Japan.
Chung had compiled the list of both formal and informal business in a Korean migrant community in Minami, Osaka, Japan, based upon her fieldwork. She discussed the ethnic agglomeration process that involves both legal and illegal relations in her paper, "Nightclubs: Economic Powerhouse in a Korean Migrant Community in Japan." Chung is currently a Long-Term Postdoctoral Fellow of Social Science Research Council and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science at the department of cultural anthropology at the University of Tokyo.
