Ending the Korean War (EKW) Teaching Collective: The Ending the Korean War Teaching Collective is a group of scholars and cultural workers who present curricular modules that revision the Korean War. The modules push us to understand the Korean War not as a past “event,” by exploring its ongoing deep structural impact on the social, political, and economic dimensions of people’s everyday lives on the intensely militarized Korean Peninsula, in the diaspora, and within the greater regions.
Korea Policy Institute: Founded in 2005, the Korea Policy Institute (KPI) is an independent research and educational institute. KPI works to increase popular awareness and understanding of developments on the Korean peninsula and to promote well-informed U.S. policies toward Korea.
