The Korea Now Podcast #122 – Robert Winstanley-Chesters – 'The Armstrong Affair and Questions of Authorship in Korean Studies'

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Robert Winstanley-Chesters. They speak about the plagiarism scandal that surrounded Charles Armstrong and his book 'Tyranny of the Weak', the nature of the plagiarism and academic corruption involved, the extraordinarily immoral response from much of the Korean Studies community who chose to defend Armstrong and publicly attack the people making the allegations, the history of such behaviour within the Korean Studies community, as well as deeper questions concerning authorship, co-production, authenticity, intellectual ownership, provenance, truth and objectivity. Robert Winstanley-Chesters is a human geographer, Lecturer at University of Leeds and Bath Spa University, a Teaching Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and Member of Wolfson College, Oxford, formerly of Birkbeck, University of London, Australian National University and Cambridge University. He is author of " Environment, Politics and Ideology in North Korea " (Lexington, 2014), " Vibrant Matters(s): Fish, Fishing and Community in North Korea and Neighbours " (Springer, 2019) and " New Goddess of Mt Paektu: Myth and Transformation in North Korean Landscape " (Black Halo/Amazon KDP 2020).
