[KS] Fulbright Forum

[Horace H. Underwood]

FULBRIGHT FORUM!!

Fulbright in Seoul (the Korean American Educational Commission) is pleased
to invite you to attend the Fulbright Forum for November, which will be held
on Friday, November 16, 2001, at 6:30 p.m. at the Commission offices in
Mapo.

This month Dr. Stephen J. Epstein of the Victoria University of Wellington
in New Zealand will present and discuss "Our Nation: A Korean Punk Rock
Community," a documentary he co-produced with Timothy R. Tangherlini of
UCLA.  The documentary provides a close look at the rapidly evolving punk
rock scene in South Korea, focusing on "Drug," the club that formed the
early core of the movement, along with some of the bands and fans that have
helped to make Drug what it is.

Stephen Epstein (BA Harvard, PhD UC Berkeley, previous Fulbright Forum
presenter) has been teaching since 1994 at Victoria University, where he
serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Classics and on the Board
of Asian Studies.  His interests include Greek and Latin literature; modern
Korean literature and society; translating Korean and Indonesian fiction;
and, not least, punk rock.

We welcome to the November Fulbright Forum all Fulbrighters, senior
lecturers and junior researchers, as well as Board Members, Fulbright
alumni, Peace Corps alumni, Korean studies scholars, foreign graduate
students, punk rockers, and other friends of Korea and members of the
Fulbright family.

The presentation will be followed by a buffet reception (in lieu of dinner.)
We hope many friends will come to enjoy the lecture, the discussion, and the
food.
