Han S. Park, professor of political science and director of the Center for the Study of Global Issues (GLOBIS) at the Univ. of Georgia, has been named University Professor. The professorship recognizes faculty whose "actions as change-agents have improved the quality with which the university serves its missions." The appointment was approved this week by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents.
Prof. Victor Cha (Georgetown University) continued to consult for the U.S. government and engage in public policy debates on Asia. He wrote op-ed pieces for the Los Angeles Times and other media outlets, and was recognized in the New York Times as one of the principal authors of the "hawk engagement" approach to North Korea. In the Spring 2002, he also participated as a core member and contributing author of the Henry Kissinger Roundtable on Terrorism and US Interests at the Council on Foreign Relations. Also in the Fall 2002, he will assume the DS Song-Korea Foundation Chair at Georgetown.
Prof. Stephan Haggard (University of California, San Diego) is beginning collaboration with Robert Kaufman on social policy, globalization and democratization in East Asia, Latin America and Central Europe. One of the questions that the book seeks to address is why the educational franchise and educational attainment appear so much more progressive in East Asia than in Latin
America. To answer this question requires a look at early educational reforms in the region. He would like to hear from anyone familiar with work--in English, Korean or Japanese--on education policy under the Japanese, American occupation or Rhee administrations.
Prof. George Totten (University of Southern California) continued as Chair of the USC Korea Project. He is working on a new edition of the Song of Arirang by Nym Wales under the pen name of Helen Foster Snow. It will come out both in Korean as well as in English. He also took an active part in drawing up the contract with the Myeong film company to make the book into a motion picture. With regard to the Korean romanization, I would be glad to hear the opinions of anyone concerning whether to use the new official South Korean government romanization or to use the modified
McCune-Reischauer
system. On September 24, he presented a paper in Korea at a seminar held in the
conference room in the National Assembly on how the United States, North and
South Korea, China, and Japan might cooperate on security matters, but the
paper has not been published yet. He presented a paper at Beijing University on
December 1 on the use of pinyin in China and comparisons with romanization as
used in Korea and Japan. This was published in Chinese in the Chinese Language
Review, No. 68, in Hong Kong in December.
Prof. Tong Whan Park, Director of the Forum on Korean Affairs at Northwestern University, will be at the East-West Center, Honolulu from August 1 through the middle of October 2002, as a POSCO Fellow. He will conduct research on the security cooperation between Seoul and Washington extending beyond the North Korean threat. While at the East-West Center, he will also co-host an international conference on the future of the U.S.-Korean relationship.
Prof. Moon Jae (Univ. of Colorado, Denver) has recently accepted a faculty position at the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M Univ. His appointment will start in August this year.
Prof. Meridith Woo-Cumings has joined the faculty of Political Science at the University of Michigan. Her new email address is mwoc@umich.edu
The International Council on Korean Studies (President Hang Yul Rhee) is planning to have the AcademicConference on One Hundredth Commemoration of the Korean Immigration to the United States on August 16-18, 2002 at Washington D.C. Prof. Rhee solicits papers for this conference and if someone is interested in
participating
in this conference please contact the program chair Dr. Soon Paik (202)
691-7875 and fax (202) 691-7753; e-mail
address paik_s@bls.gov. If the paper is good it will be published in
the Fall/Winter 2002 issue of the International Journal Korean Studies.
