The Whiteside Forum will complete their 2018-2019 season by hosting Dr. Duk Kim of St. Ambrose University who will speak to us and answer questions about current relations between the U.S., North Korea and South Korea on Thursday April 25, 2019 starting at 6:30pm. Professor Kim is a native of South Korea, emigrated to the U.S. in 1990, received his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri – St. Louis, teaches Political Science and Leadership Studies, and is an expert on Korean politics, East Asian Affairs and UN peace operations. This event will be held at the Odell Public Library at 307 S. Madison St. Morrison, IL and is free and open to the public.
Dr. Kim is now a naturalized U.S. citizen, but his mother still lives in South Korea and he leads his St. Ambrose students every other year to his homeland and Japan for a study abroad program. Dr. Kim is also the current president of the World Affairs Council of the Quad Cities.
