Join us in celebration of Korean American Day with Dr. Moon-Ho Jung’s lecture on Framing and Commemorating the History of Koreans in the Pacific Northwest. The talk will be held on Tuesday, January 14th from 12-2 pm at Shoreline Community College in the Main Dining Room (MDR) in Room 9215. We will be serving Korean Street Food from a local business.   

Moon-Ho Jung is Professor of History and the Harry Bridges Endowed Chair in Labor Studies at the University of Washington. He is the author of Menace to Empire: Anticolonial Solidarities and the Transpacific Origins of the US Security State (2022), winner of the David Montgomery Award from the Organization of American Historians and the Labor and Working-Class History Association, and the Theodore Saloutos Book Award from the Immigration and Ethnic History Society, and Coolies and Cane: Race, Labor, and Sugar in the Age of Emancipation (2006). He served as the President of the Korean American Historical Society in 2007-2016.  

In 2007, Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire signed a bill designating January 13th as “Korean American Day.” This date marks the first arrival of Korean immigrants to Honolulu, Hawaii in 1903. What is the history of this migration? How and why did Koreans move to the United States, and to the Puget Sound region in particular? This talk will suggest a framework for interpreting local history–a critical step in defining our identities and communities.  

• Date: Tuesday 1/14/25
• Time: 12:00-2:00pm
• Location: 9000 Building, Main Dining Room
  • Korean Street Food will be served
