"Are Koreans Human" a lecture provided by the Radcliffe Institute and Harvard University

The author Min Jin Lee RI ’19 asks, “Who are the modern Koreans, and what do they care about?”

To answer this enormously complex question, Lee explores the will of Koreans to survive and flourish as global citizens, their enduring faith in education, and the costs of such a quest and what it may mean to the larger world they seek to engage. She explains that when she’s writing, she isn’t just writing about Koreans, education, or the diaspora—she’s writing about humans.
