A Look at Korea as a Frog Outside the Well - An Outsider's Perspective on Korean History

<p style="text-align: justify;">November 6, 2023 - Join us and explore with Prof. <strong>Mark Peterson</strong> the ideas advanced in his most recent book, <em>Views of Korean History by a Frog Outside the Well</em>. Written in a conversational style for the general public, in this book Dr. Peterson offers a unique take on Korean history that differs from the standard history taught in Korea since liberation from Japan. It is a point of view that his Korean audience appreciates for its radical departure from orthodox history and finds “refreshing,” “positive” and “uplifting.” In a recent article for the <em>Korea Times</em>, Dr. Peterson writes that he offers a new approach to facts already well known… but looks at in an entirely new way and a way that many young scholars are starting to look at as well. The discussion will be moderated by <strong>Linda Tobash</strong>, Senior Advisor for Education at the Society.</p> <p>For more information, please visit the link below:<br /> <a href= "https://www.koreasociety.org/education/item/1743-a-look-at-korea-as-a-frog-outside-the-well-an-outsider-s-perspective-on-korean-history" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.koreasociety.org/education/item/1743-a-look-at-korea-as-a-frog-outside-the-well-an-outsider-s-perspective-on-korean-history</a></p>
