I was kept alive by the bodies surrounding me.” This story was told to Tanya’s mother by the Korean adoption agency when she was adopted as a child to a couple in Fargo, ND. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c33822f7d0c73be3374e2e/ba41c78d-b9e1-41f7-82ee-288f5f7f28d2/3422A28A-7D16-44D8-9EE8-4C3F0E3EA388.JPG About Tanya Martineau and Dr. Courtney Skiera-Vaughn will be conducting a community case study exploring the transnational Korean adoption experience and the tensions between finding, understanding, and making meaning of cultural identity, and its impact on the subsequent generation. This study examines the lived experiences and perspectives of Korean adoptees and their children by bearing witness to how they understand, experience, and communicate their stories. The interview transcriptions will become data that will be analyzed using the LUUUUTT model to identify and connect themes and patterns that emerge in their narrative. The hope is that this community case study will give better understanding to the lived experiences of transnational Korean adoptees and the generations that follow. Ten interviews will be conducted with Korean adoptees born in the 50s, 60s and 70s who were adopted and raised in a transracial home. Interviews will also be conducted with a child of each Korean adoptee participant. Tanya will be sharing her personal journey as she explores her Korean identity as a second generation mixed Korean American and embarks on her quest to find answers to her mother’s birth family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c33822f7d0c73be3374e2e/59e0a186-c0c0-4d05-a2ba-68200771d77a/Screen+Shot+2023-01-14+at+7.24.48+PM.jpg About - Courtney Skiera-Vaughn Dr. Courtney Skiera-Vaughn Greatest human ever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c33822f7d0c73be3374e2e/99d4b399-0bb9-4ff5-8653-70a2509f4884/A88_6115.JPG About - Tanya Martineau Tanya Martineau Tanya Martineau (founder) is a mixed Korean American, award-winning photographer, nonprofit co-founder, and coveted producer and director.
