I had a fantastic time yesterday, I delivered the Distinguished Global Lecture Series at the Graduate School of International Studies Ewha Woman's University (Ewha GSIS). It was one of the most welcoming and active audiences that I have spoken to in quite some time. They listened patiently, interrupted me during my speech with questions, then had plenty of questions at the end. TNKR co-director Eunkoo Lee declined my invitation to join me as a speaker, but she joined during Q&A to add additional points.
Thanks so much to Assistant Professor Hannah Jun for inviting me to speak. We met earlier this year, after she learned about me she said that she wanted to invite me to speak at Ewha. And it happened yesterday!
There are many South Korean professors, business people, and other influential people who are hesitant to invite speakers talking about North Korea-related topics, so it is a special thing to have been invited to discuss TNKR!
One very eager international student signed up as a volunteer a few hours after the event.
Thanks to TNKR translator Dahae Noh for joining, be sure to check out her TNKR blog: https://m.blog.naver.com/PostList.nhn?blogId=tnkr21
