91ÑÇÉ« News | Political science professor to organize field trip to North Korea
YCAR Faculty Associate Thomas Klassen (Political Science) is coordinating a five-day field trip to North Korea for members of the 91ÑÇÉ« community in the summer of 2016.
The trip will be a valuable learning and research opportunity for students, scholars and others with an interest in Asia – the Korean peninsula in particular. North Korea is one of the world’s most isolated countries, with a national philosophy that stresses self-reliance.
The field trip will be a unique chance to see up-close aspects of North Korean culture, life and natural environment. The trip will begin in Beijing, China, with either a flight or overnight train to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
91ÑÇÉ« community members interested in joining this cultural field trip can contact Professor Klassen at tklassen@yorku.ca. Klassen has written extensively on South Korea and has spent several years there, as well as in East Asia, in the past decade.
