The topic of North Korea has frequently been in the news this year with topics ranging from its possibly formidable array of nuclear weapons to the incident with the American journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling. Students interested in taking a more in-depth look at the so-called socialist paradise of North Korea (or internationally/Asian-inclined students in general) should definitely take the opportunity to attend an event featuring Dr. Ruediger Frank, who is Chair Professor of East Asian Economy and Society at the University of Vienna and Deputy Head of the Department of East Asian Studies, as well as an Adjunct Professor at Korea University and the University of North Korean Studies.
With the experience of being one of the few foreigners to visit North Korea, Dr. Frank will be hosting a photo slideshow accompanied by an academic presentation of his views on North Korea. He will also be highlighting his personal experiences in and his impression of the country.
The event will take place on Tuesday, September 22, from 5pm to 7pm in the 108N – Seminar Room, North House, at the Munk Centre for International Studies.
