The U.S.-Korea NextGen Scholar Program is a two-year program providing opportunities for mid-career Korea specialists to discuss issues of importance to U.S.-Korea relations with policymakers, government officials and opinion leaders in Korea and the United States, learn how to effectively engage with the media, participate in the policymaking process, and gain experience as public intellectuals helping to bridge the scholarly and policy communities and address issues of importance to the U.S.-Korea relationship. Dr. Victor Cha and Dr. David Kang will serve as senior advisors, along with a group of senior scholars in both Korea and the United States.
