Dear colleagues,

<https://www.pdx.edu/cjs/event/dr-carol-gluck-what-world-owes-comfort-women?delta=0>
 Dr. Carol Gluck <http://history.columbia.edu/faculty/Gluck.html> will
speak on this important and controversial topic at *Portland State
University <https://www.pdx.edu/> on* *Thursday, March 2, 2017 at 5:30 p.m.
in Smith Memorial Student Union, Room 355.* (The address is 1825 SW
Broadway, Portland, OR 97201). *Consul General Duk-Ho Moon plans to attend
this very special lecture.*



“The practices and norms of public memory have changed in the seventy years
since the end of World War II creating what Professor Gluck
<http://history.columbia.edu/faculty/Gluck.html> calls a “global memory
culture.”  Changes in the law, the role of witnesses, the realm of rights,
the politics of apology, and concepts of responsibility have transformed
our understanding of doing justice to the past.   And in each instance the
former comfort women have played a role in that transformation, helping to
change attitudes toward sexual violence and women’s rights -- helping, in
short, to change the world.”



Dr. Gluck is Professor of History at Columbia University
<http://history.columbia.edu/faculty/Gluck.html>. She specializes in modern
Japan, from the late nineteenth century to the present, international
relations, and history-writing and public memory in Asia and the West.
