Dr. Gari Ledyard, King Sejong Professor Emeritus and former director of Korean Studies at Columbia University, introduces the early scholars, sages, and soldiers that established the Chosǒn Dynasty (1392-1910AD). These founding fathers made daring reforms that would determine the destiny of Korea for centuries to come. As a prominent historian of pre-modern Korea, Dr. Ledyard continually contributes to the academic community through his writings and engaging lectures. His most notable publications include: The Korean Language Reforms of 1446 and The Dutch Came to Korea.
