Somewhat short notice but that is not unusual.

Odd however, that there is no mention of the rest of the world. Europe (East
and West) was very much affected by the Korean War - Britain lost 1000 in
the war. Poland, East Germany and other Eastern countries were major
suppliers of assistance during and after the war. No Japanese scholars? The
United Nations and the Korean war seems to be totally missing.

Dear Colleagues, 

 

In the name of Prof. Chung Young-soon, the Director of the Institute for
East Asian History at the Academy of Korean Studies, I would like to invite
you all to our conference on the Korean War, with the theme of "The Memory
of War, the War of Memory", which will be held on Tuesday, December 18th,
2012, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Graduate School Auditorium at the Academy
of Korean Studies. 

 

For directions please refer to AKS webpage:

If you reside in Seoul, the easiest way is to take bus no. 9003, from a bus
stop located nearby exit 12 of Euljiro-3ga Stn line no. 2 and 3(go to the
bus stop which is closer to the intersection); the bus goes straight to the
main gate of the campus. From Kangnam Stn., bus no. 9004 goes in the same
direction.
