Learn about Stanford's newly inaugurated Taiwan Program! Join us for a talk and reception with Professor Gi-Wook Shin, Director of Stanford University’s Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC). The event will be hosted at the Yuan Ru Art Center in Bellevue, WA. Prof. Shin looks forward to meeting Stanford alumni in the Seattle area, and will introduce the new Taiwan Program, recently launched by APARC alongside established programs on Korea, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Gi-Wook Shin is the William J. Perry Professor of Contemporary Korea in Sociology; Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies; director of the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC) since 2005; and the founding director of the APARC Korea Program, all at Stanford University. As a historical-comparative and political sociologist, his research has concentrated on social movements, nationalism, development, democracy, and international relations. He was also awarded his MA and PhD from the University of Washington in 1991, cementing a Seattle area connection.
