The Korean Studies Program welcomes a new postdoctoral fellow and its first Korean language librarian

The KSP at Shorenstein APARC is pleased to announce a new postdoctoral fellow and its first Korean language librarian to enhance the program.

Kyu S. Hahn, from Stanford University, has joined the Korean Studies Program (KSP) as a postdoctoral fellow. Kyu has already been working as a KSP research fellow and has contributed to various projects, including one on mass media and U.S.-ROK relations. Kyu's primary research interests lie in the fields of national and comparative political communication. Specifically, his work focuses on the impact of mass media during political campaigns on public attitudes and political behavior. Other interests include congressional politics and news media organizations.

On September 1, 2005, Stanford Libraries hired its first Korean language librarian, Mikyung Kang, to begin building a research collection. Mikyung brings to Stanford many years of experience in building an outstanding collection in Korean Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The new postdoctoral fellow and budding Korean language collection will greatly enhance Stanford's Korean Studies program, which already offers a wide variety of seminars, workshops, conferences, and research projects.
