On October 27, the Institute for Korean Studies, along with the Korean Foundation, put on their annual conference. This year the theme was South Korea’s Foreign Policy in a Changing East Asia.
The conference commenced after a brief introduction from Dr. Adam Liff, director of the East Asian Languages and Cultures department and a fellow presenter. The first half of the conference dedicated a portion of time to the topic of South Korea’s foreign policy regarding North Korea. After that, our presenters moved on to the main topic of South Korea’s Foreign Policy in a Changing East Asia. At the end of each session, a Q&A was held in which attendees could ask any burning question they might have.
The conference was an insightful experience that pulled in around 50 attendees of faculty, staff, and students. IKS would like to extend a special thanks to presenters Adam Liff, Young-Jun Kim, Ji-Young Lee, Lami Kim, and Terence Roehrig. This conference could not have happened without your expertise.
Thank you to all our attendees as well. We hope to see you at future events!
