DESCRIPTION:The Korean War (1950–1953) created one of the most visible ch
 ild refugee crises of the Cold War\, leaving an estimated over 100\,000 ch
 ildren orphaned or separated from their families. This panel examines the 
 lived experiences\, geopolitical significance\, and long-term legacies of 
 Korean War orphans through transnational and interdisciplinary lenses. Pan
 elists explore how state actors\, humanitarian and other organizations mob
 ilized wartime child welfare as a site of ideological contest\, shaping gl
 obal perceptions of the conflict while influencing policies on internation
 al adoption\, child sponsorship\, and refugee aid. Using archival records\
 , oral histories\, and cultural texts\, the papers trace how North and Sou
 th Korean orphans navigated institutional environments—from domestic she
 lters to Asian\, American and European care and adoptive homes - while neg
 otiating identities formed in the shadow of militarization and displacemen
 t. Together\, the presentations highlight how the figure of the orphan bec
 ame central to postwar nation-building narratives\, humanitarian politics\
 , and the evolving global care economy. By situating Korean War orphans wi
 thin histories of socialist and capitalist societies\, forced migration\, 
 and humanitarianism\, the panel aims to reconsider the war’s enduring so
 cial consequences and the children whose lives reshaped international prac
 tices of care.
