Screenshot of journal article. Title: From Colonial Korea to White Australia: Hoyul Kim, Australia’sFirst Korean International Student, 1921–1925. Authors: Jay Song, ANU, and Louise Spencer, University of Melbourne. Abstract: This article uncovers the life of Hoyul Kim, the first Korean international student who lived in Australia from 1921 to 1925. It sheds light on the role of the Presbyterian Church in both colonial Korean and White Australian contexts. The article draws on archival research from the National Archives of Australia, the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, the Scotch College in Melbourne and the University of Melbourne to document Kim’s activities in Australia. The bilingual team uses both Korean- and English-language materials on Kim. We argue that, in spite of the colonial and racially motivated state barriers to international student mobility in the 1920s, Kim managed to travel to Australia and gain an overseas education. Kim’s story contributes to a little-known history of Korea–Australia relations that runs much deeper than formal state relations. Kim’s story illustrates that bilateral relations are shaped by people-to-people encounters that encompass shared values of religion and education via transnational migration.
Number 3 in 49.3 - in a time of international student debates, Song and Spencer take us back to the first Korean international student in the 1920s, illustrating the importance of student mobility for people-to-people #diplomacy.

Special issue update: 📜 In Our Own Words: Histories in Languages of Oceania 📜
Over the coming week, we'll be sharing articles from this newly released online issue. This unique collection centres Indigenous and local voices in Pacific history...
This has become really clear to me while working with Sheila Fitzpatrick and Ruth Balint. We're focused on DPs in Oz. We use the same archives. Very different books!!!
