Dear All,

The International Center for Korean Studies of Kyujanggak Institute is hosting a Book Talk series, introducing Eugene Y. Park’s Korea: A History.

Title: Korea: A History
Date: June 27 (Tuesday) 10:00-12:00 (Seoul)
Author: Eugene Y. Park (University of Nevada, Reno)
Moderator: Charles La Shure (Seoul National University)
Discussants: Seung B. Kye (Sogang University)

About the Author:
Eugene Y. Park is a historian of East Asia, especially Korean politics and society from the fifteenth to the early twentieth century. After studying at UCLA and Harvard, Park completed a postdoc with the Council on East Asian Studies at Yale and has held faculty appointments at the University of California, Irvine, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Nevada, Reno. Park has also taught at Harvard, Korea, McGill, Seoul National, and Yonsei, as well as giving some 70 invited lectures, speeches, or presentations, including the 26th Annual Stanley Spector Memorial Lecture on East Asian History and Civilization at Washington University in St. Louis (2019). He is the author of five books and is also interested in genealogy, population genetics, primatology, portraiture, and religious studies. Various high-profile projects have consulted with him, including Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (PBS) and Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem). In 2016, Park co-chaired the organizing committee of the Eighth Biennial World Congress of Korean Studies.

About the Book:
While popular trends, cuisine, and long-standing political tension have made Korea familiar in some ways to a vast English-speaking world, its recorded history of some two millennia remains unfamiliar to most. Korea: A History addresses general readers, providing an up-to-date, accessible overview of Korean history from antiquity to the present. Eugene Y. Park draws on original-language sources and the up-to-date synthesis of East Asian and Western-language scholarship to provide an insightful account. This book expands still-limited English-language discussions on pre-modern Korea, offering rigorous and compelling analyses of Korea's modernization while discussing daily life, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ history, and North Korean history not always included in Korea surveys. Overall, Park is able to break new ground on questions and debates that have been central to the field of Korean studies since its inception.
