This program was implemented in Korea for 19 participants accompanied by program coordinator Yong Jin Choi. This year's summer fellowship was the 18th annual program in the series. It got underway, as usual, with a half-day orientation session, which included a visit (by subway) to the Folk Museum in downtown Seoul. The following day the fellows made a visit to the Leeum Museum of Art and after a two-hour meeting with Yeon Sook Lee on the subject of women's issues in Korea, were joined at dinner by fellowship participants from Australia and New Zealand. From June 21 to June 26, the fellows participated in an intensive workshop at the Academy of Korean Studies. The workshop consisted of a mix of lectures and field trips. The lecture topics included history, culture, language, society, education and the North Korean nuclear crisis. Field trips in the general vicinity of Seoul included visits to the Academy of Korean Studies Museum, the National Museum of Korea, the Insa-dong District, Changdok Palace, the Kore-an Family Culture Institute, and the Demilitarized Zone.
