The Koreas - More Than You KnowThe split of the Korean peninsula into North and South occurred as the Japanese occupation ended in 1945; the split was further entrenched by the end of the Korean War in 1953. How have the two countries fared as the split approaches the 75-year point? This series will speak to the economic miracle that has led South Korea to become the world’s 11th largest economy with robust democratic institutions but also with challenges including stress among young people driven by its intensely competitive educational system. The North meanwhile languishes as one of the world’s most repressive societies with high emphasis on military capabilities. This series will shed light on the Korea’s, past and present, and will provide information to help us consider their future.

October 4 CONTESTED EMBRACE: TRANSBORDER MEMBERSHIP POLITICS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY KOREA

Professor Jaeeun Kim, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Korea Foundation Assistant Professor of Korean StudiesJaeeun Kim is Assistant Professor of Sociology at UM. She is a political sociologist and law and society scholar interested in race/ethnicity/nationalism and international migration, citizenship, and globalization. She received her Ph.D. degree from UCLA, was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton and Stanford, and a former member at the Institute for Advanced Study. Her book, Contested Embrace: Transborder Membership Politics in Twentieth-Century Korea (Stanford University Press, 2016), won multiple book awards from the American Sociological Association, the Social Science History Association, and the Association for Asian Studies.

Speaker’s Synopsis: Jaeeun Kim will talk about her book Contested Embrace: Transborder Membership Politics in Twentieth-Century Korea. Contested Embrace is a comparative, historical, and ethnographic study of the complex relationships among the states in the Korean peninsula, colonial-era Korean migrants to Japan and northeast China and their descendants, and the states in which they have resided over the course of the twentieth century. The talk will focus on Chapter 2 of the book, which examines the prolonged and vehement competition between North and South Korea over the allegiance of colonial-era Korean migrants who remained in Japan in the context of decolonization and the Cold War.

October 11 DIPLOMACY AND DISCORD: INTERNATIONAL POLITICS AROUND THE KOREAN PENINSULA

Professor John D. Ciorciari John D. Ciorciari (Harvard AB, JD; Oxford MPhil, DPhil) is an associate professor at UM’s

Ford School of Public Policy. He is the author of The Limits of Alignment (2010) and co-author of Hybrid Justice (2014). He has held fellowships at Stanford, the Asia Society and the Carnegie Corporation, and has been a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations. From 2004-07, he served as a policy official in the U.S. Treasury Department.

Speaker’s Synopsis: Prof. Ciorciari will focus on the complex and contentious international politics surrounding the two Koreas. He will review past efforts to achieve peace, reunification, and other objectives. He will explain the divergent interests of key regional players and discuss why progress has been so difficult to date. He will then turn to current diplomatic efforts led by the Trump administration, noting both pitfalls and prospects for positive change.

October 18 NUCLEAR TREATY VERIFICATIONProfessor Sara A. Pozzi Sara Pozzi is a Professor and the Graduate Program Chair at the Department of Nuclear and Radiological Sciences, UM. Her research interests include the development of new methods for nuclear materials detection, identification, and characterization for nuclear nonproliferation, nuclear material control and accountability, nuclear safeguards, and national security programs. Prof. Pozzi is the director of the Consortium for Verification Technology, a consortium of 12 universities and 9 national laboratories dedicated to the development of new technologies for nuclear treaty verification.

Speaker’s Synopsis: Since the discovery of fission, nuclear chain reactions, and nuclear weapons, preventing the spread of nuclear weapons has become a top priority for our nation and the world. Several international treaties have been put into place to curb the expansion of nuclear capabilities. Nevertheless, there are states that may be pursuing elements of an overt or covert nuclear weapons program. New science and technology developments are needed to verify the existing or proposed treaties in this area and to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used again.
