# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Disrupted Histories, Contested Futures: Korean Adoption, Politics, and Activism in Europe
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 07 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Fri, 08 May, 2026 at 04:30 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: In recent years, transnational adoption has come under increasing scrutiny, with both sending and receiving countries reassessing its contested past. South Korea, the largest and most enduring sending country, has often been examined primarily through a U.S. framework, particularly in relation to U.S. empire and U.S.–ROK relations.

This two-day conference shifts the focus to Europe, not only as a major receiving region but also as a vital site of critical adoption discourses and practices. Bringing together earlier and newer generations of scholars and activists, the conference will examine adoption histories across Europe, reflect on community-building and activism among adoptees, and consider the implications of state-led investigations for the future of critical debates on transnational adoption.

The conference is open to all, with registration required. Please see our website for more information: https://www.ace.lu.se/activities/disrupted-histories-contested-futures-korean-adoption-politics-and-activism-europe
