Taylor received her B.A. in English from Cornell University and Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Michigan. As a Peace Corps volunteer in Seoul in 1969, she photographed the changing scenes of ordinary Korean life in a rapidly modernizing society marked by the authoritarian regime of the dictator Park Chung-Hee. Her photographs capture everyday Koreans at work and play in and around the bustling capital city of Seoul.
Photographs selected in collaboration with Associate Professor Youngju Ryu, Asian Languages and Cultures and Professor David Chung, Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.
This exhibition and opening is made possible by the Institute for the Humanities and the Nam Center for Korean Studies with the generous support of the Friends of Korea. The Nam Center is celebrating its tenth anniversary and would like to thank Amanda Krugliak for her support.
