On the 6th, in front of the front door of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Korean American Association condemns Professor Ramsey. Cambridge = Yonhap News
The fluctuations caused by the dissertation of Japanese military women solace by Mark Ramsayer, a professor at Harvard University Law School in the United States, extended to the wars of public opinion between Japan and Korea.
The Massachusetts Korean Association held a demonstration outside the main gate of Harvard University on the 6th (local time), condemning Professor Ramsey and demanding that the university fire him. In a statement, Seo Young-ae, president of the Massachusetts Korean Society, said in a statement: “This is obvious war crimes, sex trafficking, sexual slavery and child abuse. I want to erase it.”
Vice President Shin Young noted that Professor Ramsey wrote the thesis without listening to the evidence and testimonies of the victims.
Vermont Korean Society President Shin Se-jun asked Harvard President Lawrence Baccaw, “Would you like to support a distorted thesis that tramples on human rights with an inappropriate position on academic freedom?” Rhode Island Korean Association President Cho Won-kyung noted: “Elsevier, which distorts the truth and recognizes and publishes false documents, is no different from Ramsay.”
This is the first time a protest has been held in front of Harvard University in about a month since early last month, when the newspaper in question was released to the public. However, the interest of the Americans was not really great. Most of the 100 participants (estimated by the organizers) were Korean, and there were few students enrolled except for the Crimson reporter, a Harvard campus newspaper. An American participant told Yonhap News that “The New York Times and New Yorkers wrote articles and they became a problem, but it seems that there are still many people who are not aware of this matter.
The same goes for the Japanese side of group action. Professor Ramsay started a campaign to protect him. The campaign to send postcards of thanks to President Baekau is in full swing, focusing on ‘Network Law’ in Japan, which is active on Internet spaces such as Twitter. “There is no problem because the arguments contained in Professor Ramsey’s thesis correspond to academic freedom,” said President Baekau.
It is not just blocking the wavefront theory. There is also retaliation against academics who criticized Professor Ramsey’s thesis. They sent an email to the university demanding disciplinary action from Northwestern University professor Amy Stanley, who publicly criticized Professor Ramsey’s thesis. These claims are that Professor Stanley in the past despised Japan and made discriminatory comments against the Japanese.
