 m \n Virtual Event \n\nSpeakers \nMichelle Cho, Assistant Professor of Ko

 ription: \nJoin U of T alumni and friends for a compelling and timely lect
 ure by Michelle Cho, Assistant Professor of Korean Popular Culture and Me
 dia in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of TorontoTe
 levision as we know it has transformed in the last two decades, shifting 
 from sitcoms, police procedurals, or courtroom dramas told in standalone
  episodes, towards serial narratives with clear storylines that span an e
 ntire series/season. At the same time, viewing habits in many places, in
 cluding Canada, now incorporate content from around the world, changing 
 how we evaluate TV quality and come together with fellow fans via the show
 s we watch. These shifts have coincided with the rise in popularity of Kor
 ean television shows in North America, since Korean narrative television 
 has long been formatted as stand-alone, complete series, with clearly de
 fined beginnings and endings. This talk will highlight the characteristics
  of Korean television serials (K-dramas) that account for their intense bi
 nge-ability and contextualize the place of Korean television content in ou
 r increasingly global media landscape.Please contact Alumni Relations, if
  you require information in an alternate format, or if any other arrangem
 ents can make this event accessible to you.Michelle Cho (@mhc727) is an as
 sistant professor of Korean popular culture and media in the department of
  East Asian Studies. Her published scholarship analyzes contemporary South

 y of the Korean Wave, and K-pop's multi-sited fandoms. She is currently c
