University of Missouri launches Institute for Korean Studies
The University of Missouri is launching a new Institute for Korean Studies.
Co-directors will be assistant history professor C. Harrison Kim and assistant political science professor Sheena Greitens, who is Gov. Eric Greitens’ wife.
Sheena Greitens says one of the institute’s goals will be to raise the university’s profile in Korean research. She has a personal interest because one of her adopted sisters is from Korea.
The institute will launch Thursday with a speech by Grace Jo, a North Korean refugee who became a U.S. citizen and advocate for human rights.
