Jeff Bayliss is Charles A. Dana Research Associate Professor of History at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. In this talk, Bayliss talked about a Korean running under the flag of the colonial Japanese regime, Son Kijŏng, who set an Olympic marathon record at the Berlin Games. He took a simultaneously broader and more detailed look at Son’s pre-Berlin career, including the rise of a long-distance running program in colonial Korea that produced Son and many other gifted runners, to explore how Koreans like Son came to use distance running as a means of expressing ethnic pride.
