Harvard Ramsayer’s other historical distorting papers that identified comfort women victims as prostitutes were also reviewed by the Ethics Committee, putting a brake. In addition, it was revealed that some of the contents described in the papers related to comfort women came from ghost blogs.
This is the exclusive report by correspondent Kim Soo-hyung.
This is a draft thesis by Professor Harvard Ramsay who distorted the massacre of Koreans during the Great Kanto Earthquake.
The University of Cambridge, UK, which was supposed to publish the thesis, dismissed it from the pre-publication site.
Alon Harrell, a professor at Israel’s Hebrew University, who served as editor-in-chief of the thesis to the SBS question on how to delete it, replied that rigorous fact-checking was under way, affirming that the paper would never be published as drafted.
Cambridge University Press editor Matt Galloway confirmed that Ramsey and editors were under review by the Ethics Committee.
From thesis on the victims of comfort women to the thesis on the massacre of Koreans, profound suspicion has been raised.
The thesis on the victims of comfort women was investigated by five scholars who majored in Japanese history, and it turned out that even the main sources have no substance.
The source of the description that Ok-ju Moon, a comfort woman victim, was able to save a considerable amount of money at the time, was from an unknown domestic blog.
This is a ghost blog that collects demeaning content for the victims of comfort women, and some of them have posted posts from far-right-oriented sites and Daily Best.
Stanley, a professor at Northwestern University who had verified the paper, hoped that journal editors would refer to their verification report and withdraw the paper.
Professor Harvard Ramsay’s dissertation, which attempted to distort history by taking the views of Japan’s far-rights as it was, is in fact on the verge of withdrawal.
