Session 6:
The Role of Academicians in Bringing Peace to the Korean Peninsula

Thursday, Feb. 3: 9:00-10:10 AM EST

Explore paradigms of social and cultural history that potentially support the reunification of the Korean people on the Peninsula. Components include economic structure, natural environment, family needs, personal identity and ethical values. In light of the tendency to demonize the DPRK as unreconstructable on every level and leave it at that, thoughtful observers are invited to propose regenerative alternatives for a permanent resolution.
