There is much research on North Korea but we rarely talk about methodologies for researching it.
I edited a special issue of The Journal of Korean Studies (@JournalKorea) addressing these issues. It's available now from @DukePress!

#JFSALON #RSVP
Understanding China-North Korean Relations: A Historical perspective
Speaker: Gregg Brazinsky @GBrazinsky
Date: May 28, Thursday, 6:00–7:30 PM｜In English
RSVP: zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/jf…
Cold War Comrades demonstrates how Sino-North Korean friendship ultimately helped both states to survive a very tenuous period in their histories. Professor Gregg Brazinsky will explore Sino-North Korean relations during the early Cold War. He will show the surprising role that emotions played in this relationship. The Korean War and the Sino-North Korean alliance helped to foster stronger emotional attachment to the state and strengthen belief in socialist internationalism in both countries.
About the Speaker:
Gregg A. Brazinsky is Professor of History and International Affairs and director of the Asian Studies Program at The George Washington University. He is the author of Nation Building in South Korea: Koreans, Americans, and the Making of a Democracy and Winning the Third World: Sino-American Rivalry during the Cold War.

People are so hostile to higher education that they forget the great things that universities do. I applaud GW's decision to give free tuition to students from families making under $100,000.
