With the rise of more fervent nationalistic political movements worldwide, the long shadow of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty looms over many countries and regions. Feelings of frustration have fed bitter resentment, and have, in many cases, erupted into hostility against foreigners, minorities, refugees, immigrants, women, people of differing religion, and other races. This year’s JELL theme “Nurturing Global Citizens within War and Violence Narratives” in tandem with 2019 ELLAK International Conference in Daejeon Convention Center, Daejeon, Korea, on 16-18 December 2019, was inspired by the current climate of rising nationalism and international hostility around the world, as evidenced in Brexit, Islamophobia, and the Syrian refugee crisis, to name a few of the major crises. The theme has never been so timely and urgent as it is today, as the Korean Peninsula is undergoing a transitional period from decades of hostility to a new period of peace. Then, we may ask the following questions ourselves: Why do we wage wars? How to heal the wounds of wars? How to prevent wars? |
