Students from Jeonbuk National University's Department of Sociology secured top honors in an academic presentation competition, showcasing projects that explored urban history, youth anxiety, and changes in university life from a sociological perspective. Kim Min-seo and Jang Eun-seong were named the grand prize winners in a competition organized by the Korean Sociological Association in anticipation of the 2027 ISA World Congress of Sociology, which will be held in Gwangju from July 4-10 next year.
The ISA, an international organization for sociologists, will convene the congress in Gwangju, a city poised to host a significant global event. Two other teams were recognized with excellence awards during the competition. Bae Sol and Seon Hwa-pyeong, along with Kim Se-jeong and Kim Yong-man, each received commendation for their respective presentations.
The grand prize-winning team delved into the theme “How We Remember Gwangju,” employing a sociological approach to examine the city's history and urban spaces. Their research encompassed a broad spectrum of locations, including the former South Jeolla Provincial Office and Jeonil Building 245, providing a comprehensive view of Gwangju's sociocultural landscape.
