SUMMARY:Beggar Boys\, Delinquent Girls: Protestant Humanitarianism in 1950s
  Cold War South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Seating is limited. Masks are required for all in-person audien
 ce members.\n\nCo-sponsored with the Korea Institute\n\nThis talk examines
  the gendered logic and contradictions in faith-based aid work in South Ko
 rea by contrasting programs for “beggar boys\,” “delinquent girls\,
 ” and widows. The Korean War precipitated a humanitarian crisis in South
  Korea\, and Protestant organizations stood on the forefront in providing 
 emergency relief and rehabilitation aid. They were particularly concerned 
 about the plight of orphaned children and widows. Faith-based aid organiza
 tions in South Korea believed that urban centers were dangerous for boys. 
 Often depicted as roaming city streets in gangs\, boys needed to be isolat
 ed and relocated to the countryside. Only then could they be rehabilitated
  and\, one day\, become wholesome heads of families. In contrast\, program
 s for delinquent girls and widows were predominantly in cities. This was b
 ecause these women were supposedly alone. The assumption was they would ne
 ver (re)marry and needed to be financially self-sufficient. They needed to
  work\, and “suitable” jobs were in urban centers
