<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">I would like to inform you that the Contemporary History Society (Hyeondaesahakhoe) will hold a symposium on "Overcoming Ideological Bias in the Contemporary Korean History"<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR>. The debate will concentrate on the post-1980 Korean history, with a special emphasis on not only the objectivity of historical research but also on the popularization of history in the Korean society.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">The symposium will be held at the Seoul National University of Education on Friday, 20th, at 1:30 p.m.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">There is an article in "DongA", presenting more details on the contents: <A href="http://news.donga.com/3/all/20110512/37151776/1">http://news.donga.com/3/all/20110512/37151776/1</A></div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">All presentations will be in Korean, however, I'm sure there are many Korean-speaking foreign scholars who can share their opinions and experience and therefore add a lot to the discussion. </div>

<div style="RIGHT: auto">Regards,</div>
