The content course's objective is to hone students' critical thinking skills by exploring new insights into North Korea through the lens of recent interviews with defectors. The course will focus on deepening ties between the Workers' Party of Korea and the Communist Party of China; increasing commercialization in the elite regime circle (1%) through state trading company activities and among the masses (99%) through black markets; and how financial sanctions actually bolster North Korean procurement networks. Possible framing activities may include a tour of the De-Militarized Zone and/or the Panmunjom Truce Village.
The course will also include a component where students can apply critical thinking skills in assessing contemporary media coverage of North Korean defectors. In addition to the course on North Korea, students will study Korean language for credit. Multi-track instruction in Korean language KORE S-Ba, KORE S-120a, KORE S-130a, KORE S-140-a and KORE S-150a reinforces language skills and enriches students’ understanding of Korean culture.
