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.

Classics in the Browning Directed by Eom Yu-naWith Yoo Hae-jin, Yoon Kye-sang, Jo Hyun-do Not Rated, 135 minutesIn Korean with English subtitles The perfect film to celebrate Hangeul Day. This historical drama with comedic flourishes is set in 1940s Korea during its period of Japanese occupation when the Korean language itself was demoted and outlawed. A chance encounter between the illiterate Pan-soo (Yoo Hae-jin) and a representative of the Korean Language Society (Yoon Kye-sang) brings together an unlikely partnership working to publish a Korean language dictionary in defiance of the law.

Heskin and Marilou Brill Endowment for Excellence, Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, Franco Family Institute for Liberal Arts and the Public Good, East Asian Languages and Cultures, Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship/Hesburgh Libraries.

The Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies presents the 2019 Korean film Mal-Mo-E (The Secret Mission), celebrating the 579th Hangul Day (Korean Alphabet Day), as part of Korea Week and the film series Voicing Intergenerational Trauma in Postwar Korea and Japan through Contemporary Cinema. Hayun Cho, assistant professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, will moderate the Q&A session after the film. About the Film Imprisoned several times during the 1940s, when Korea was under Japanese occupation, Kim Pan-Soo does not know how to read or write Korean Hangul or any other language. 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.
