History shows that social movements are able to shape policy if they employ wise strategies, attract mass support, build broadly-based coalitions, articulate compelling narratives, and are persistent in applying pressure for change. Using the Vietnam peace movement, Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign, and Iraq antiwar movement as examples, David Cortright, Keough School of Global Affairs professor emeritus of the practice, will identify lessons for contemporary campaigns to prevent a new arms race and protest movements to oppose authoritarianism and social injustice, including the historic Hands Off, No Kings and Good Trouble mobilizations of recent months. David Griffith, assistant advising professor with the College of Arts and Letters and a concurrent teaching professor with the Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and Values, will serve as the respondent, with Lisa Schirch, Richard G. Starmann, Sr. professor of the practice of peace studies, moderating the discussion. The session will be held in person in Jenkins Nanovic Halls, Rm. 1050, as well as being held live on Zoom.

It is a tribute to the historical connection between these two vibrant cultures, a relationship that dates back over 500 years.   Free and open to the public. Originally published at music.nd.edu.

The Imperial Japanese government bans the teaching of Korean in the schools. He meets a representative of the Korean Language Society and joins forces to publish a dictionary of the Korean language. The story is a fictional treatment of both the work of the Korean Language Society and the 1942 Korean Language Society Incident, when Japanese authorities arrested members for allegedly supporting the independence movement. 135 minutes | PG-13 RatingDirected by Yuna EomKorean and Japanese with English subtitles Hayun Cho, assistant professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, will lead the discussion and Q&A after Mal Mo E.
