The Center for Korean Studies Presents a Conference,
North Korea as Transnational Space
10 am - 4 pm Friday, January 31, 2020
North Korea is at once a transnational entity shaped by historical and global forces that traverse ideological and national boundaries. This workshop aims to explore the transnationality of North Korea through the particularities of architecture, development, memory, and emotionality. As the international community deals with further engaging with North Korea, it is crucial to understand that North Korea has always been part of the modern world.
