Imperatives of Care

Women and Medicine in Colonial Korea

By: Sonja M. Kim

In late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Korea, public health priorities in maternal and infant welfare privileged the new nation’s reproductive health and women’s responsibility for care work to produce novel organization of services in hospitals and practices in the home. The first monograph on this topic, Imperatives of Care places women and gender at the center of modern medical transformations in Korea. It outlines the professionalization of medicine, nursing, and midwifery, tracing their evolution from new legal and institutional infrastructures in public health and education, and investigates women’s experiences as health practitioners and patients, medical activities directed at women’s bodies, and the related knowledge and goods produced for and consumed by women. Sonja M. Kim draws on archival sources, some not previously explored, to foreground the ways individual women met challenges posed by uneven developments in medicine, intervened in practices aimed at them, andseized the evolving options that became available to promote their personal, familial, and professional interests. She demonstrates how medicine produced, and in turn was produced by, gendered expectations caught between the Korean reformist agenda, the American Protestant missionary enterprise, and Japanese imperialism.

Next Stop Metaverse

A Quick Guide to Concepts, Uses, and Potential for Research and Practice

By: Ralf T. Kreutzer,Sonja Klose

This book initiates the conversation about the metaverse in science and practice. What will the metaverse look like? What is it about? Where do we stand? What do we need? Where is the journey going? To begin with: Is the metaverse an idea or a promise? Ralf T. Kreutzer and Sonja Klose try to make the vision tangible and imaginable. As with the Internet, it is difficult at this point to predict which developments and technologies will be created and combined by which individuals and companies and in what way. The authors take you by the hand and recommend: Don't ignore these developments! There is no need to make extensive investments in the metaverse today. But a few hands-on exercises are provided to help you be ready when the bandwagon picks up speed. In addition, it can help you to gain advantages in employer branding if it becomes visible that you are also dealing with exciting future topics.
