[KS] Social gathering for korean-studies list members

[Stephen Epstein]

Dear colleagues,

Recently I had a conversation with some fellow korean-studies subscribers
about how nice it would be for list members to get together and meet in
person.  Well, Horace Underwood has very kindly allowed us to piggyback on
the next Fulbright Forum as a venue for those of us who are in Seoul.  I'll
be there and will look forward to seeing old friends, meeting new ones and
having a chance to discuss this week's momentous events.  Horace simply
asks that those of you who plan to attend RSVP so they have some idea of
numbers.  I include the information below once again for those who may have
deleted it.

Hoping to see as many of you as possible,

Stephen


FULBRIGHT FORUM!!

Fulbright in Seoul (the Korean American Educational Commission) is pleased
to invite you to attend the Fulbright Forum for June, which will be held on
Friday, June 16, 2000, at 6:30 p.m. at  the Commission offices.

This month's forum speaker will be: Dr. Victor Cha, Fulbright Senior
Research grantee and Assistant Professor in the Department of Government and
School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University.

Dr. Cha will speak on: "Assessing the Future of the United States-Republic
of Korea Alliance: The Importance of Enemies or Ideas?"

There will also be an opportunity to discuss the results and implications of
the North-South Korean Summit meeting which will have just occurred, and its
implications for the Korean-American alliance as well.

This Forum is the last of the Fulbright program year, and is an opportunity
to greet and say farewell to the Fulbright scholars and graduate students
who have been here for the past year.  In addition, the Fulbright
International Education Administrators program participants will be
finishing their two weeks of visiting Korean universities and departing for
the U.S. on the 17th - the reception will be an opportunity to meet them and
wish them farewell too.

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

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

Place: Fulbright Building
168-15 Yomni-dong, Mapo-gu
(see maps on our website: www.fulbright.or.kr)
Date: Friday, June 16, 2000
