[KS] Fulbright Forum June 11

[Horace H. Underwood]

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 11, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Commission offices in Mapo.

The speaker this month will be Elizabeth E. Lee, a graduate of Brown
University, 2003 Fulbright graduate student grantee to Korea, and a former
employee of Wired and Nylon Magazines in New York City and Allyn & Bacon, a
textbook publishing division of Pearson Education in Boston.

Ms. Lee will be presenting a one-hour rough cut of "good for her", a video
production in which she looks at the cosmetic surgery boom in Seoul,
explores through a collection of personal narration, images, interviews,
film and news clips the intense pressures on Korea's youth to undergo
cosmetic surgery and questions her own role as a westerner pursuing this
culturally-delicate issue.

Ms. Lee has lived in Seoul for the last 16 months carrying out the research,
interviewing and editing for this video. She plans to send the final version
to international women’s film festivals and to education distribution
companies in the United States.

We welcome to the June Fulbright Forum all Fulbrighters, senior scholars,
graduate students and ETAs, as well as Board Members, Fulbright alumni,
Peace Corps alumni, Korean studies scholars, foreign graduate students, RAS
members, and any other interested friends of Korea or 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.
