Dear Harvard alumns and friends,

May 15th  (free seating now closed - pls purchase seats direct through Asia Society)

"Art & Politics in North Korea"

Limited complimentary Seating for Harvard alumns

 A longtime observer of North Korea and an expert on its turbulent modern history, Donald N. Clark examines how the leaders of that country use a mixture of nationalism, socialism, and familial ethics to maintain one of the worlds' most inscrutable political systems.  Based on his years of research he brings insights into the land and the values of its people that add complexity to the shopworn conceit of the "hermit nation." 

 Donald N. Clark is Murchison Professor of History at Trinity University in San Antonio.  He is a specialist in Korean affairs, drawing on experience that began with his childhood in Seoul, growing up the son of Presbyterian missionaries, and continued during a stint in the Peace Corps in the 1960's.  Clark received his graduate training at Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1978, the year he joined the Trinity faculty.  During his career he has spent much time in Korea as a Fulbright scholar and consultant on many projects, including advisory work in North Korea with an NGO that specializes in public heath.  His most recent book is Korea in World History, published this year.
