DESCRIPTION:This symposium examines the historical and contemporary relatio
 nship between Korea and the United States\, with particular attention to t
 he Korean diaspora in Los Angeles. Korean migration to the United States b
 egan shortly after the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1882\,
  and by the early twentieth century Korean communities had taken root in H
 awai’i and California. Korean Americans played a key role in the Korean 
 independence movement during the period of Japanese colonial rule (1910-19
 45)\, and they contributed as activists and as soldiers to the U.S. milita
 ry effort during WWII. Today\, Korean Americans continue to shape politica
 l\, economic\, and cultural developments to both their ancestral land and 
 their home country.\n\n \n\nBringing together regional as well as national
  experts\, this event seeks to develop a more nuanced understanding of the
  place of Korean Americans within the interwoven histories of the two nati
 ons\, in the process also deepening our knowledge of national histories th
 emselves. Along with scholarly panels\, the symposium will feature a round
 table of youth activists from Los Angeles’s Korean American community\, 
 seeking to identify policy concerns and future directions in light of both
  history and current conditions. You can see the full program here  Link t
 o the program. Also see the updated abstracts and participant bios. Due to
  the limited capacity\, RSVP is now closed.\n\n \n\nThis symposium is orga
 nized by USC’s Korean Studies Institute and is sponsored by the Korea Fo
 undation\, UCLA’s Center for Korean Studies\, and USC Libraries Korean H
 eritage Library.
