[KS] AKPSNA

[David C. Kang]

I hope the list members won't mind a small announcement:  

INVITATION FOR MEMBERSHIP

The Association of Korean Political Studies in North America (AKPSNA) invites any interested persons to join.  AKPSNA's mission is to be an umbrella organization for the study of Korean politics in North America.  AKPSNA is enjoying a period of growth, and our goal is to expand the association's visibility and projects to be more commensurate with the increasing importance of, and interest in, Korean studies.  AKPSNA especially invites Americans/etc. and second-generation Koreans to join.  

The AKPSNA annually organizes a series of panels at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, and has recently begun a joint publishing project with the Sejong Institute of Korea.
