Led by Morgan McLaughlin this asynchronous book club will focus on modern issues in Korea as depicted in two books. The first book, Nothing to Envy, Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick, focuses on individuals telling their own story. The second book, Moms by Yeong-shin Ma, focuses on the growing issue of what it means to be a woman in South Korea when you've devoted everything to your husband and kids but now feel completely alone.
Participants who complete the spring discussion club will receive a certificate of completion for 10 contact hours. After filling out a post-session evaluation survey participants will be eligible to receive book cost defrayment.
