Course Description
This general education course is designed to provide students not majoring in a life science with knowledge about how biological principles are being applied to solve modern day problems. After an introduction to the properties of life, we cover current topics that often appear in the media, such as genetically modified foods, metabolic engineering, stem cell technologies, synthetic biology, and personalized medicine. The overall goal is for students to understand some of the basic science behind these biotechnological applications and to become aware of the strengths and limitations of current technologies. In addition students learn about the associated benefits and possible ethical concerns so that they may have informed opinions about the development of such technologies.

Course Description
This course aims to provide knowledge on how to view North Korea, how to evaluate North Korea's provocations, and how to deal with North Korea. Methodologically, this course relies heavily on perceptional approaches to decision making thereby focusing on top leadership's threat perceptions. In the first half of the course, focuses are given to Kremlinology, leadership analysis, and the succession of the Kim dynasty. In the latter half, historical reviews on North Korea's foreign policy during the Cold War period as well as post-Cold War period demonstrate how North Korea's threat perception influences its provocative foreign policy. North Korea's nuclear diplomacy vis-a-vis the United States is the core part of this lecture. Then, the course moves to discuss influences of surrounding countries, namely, China, Japan and Russia. Lastly, class discussions are held on the future of North Korea, unification and inter-Korean relations.

Course Description
This course provides an introduction to world fiction with particular focus on imaginative representations of plenitude and loss. This course surveys related but radically different visions of fulfillment, love, loss, and selfhood. Each work provides a distinct experience of a world culture from the inside. A number of overlapping threads connect the works through generational change and conflict in the context of cross-cultural globalization; evolving ideas of love, desire and identity amidst cultural shifts; and colonialism and its after-effects. Assessment: attendance and participation (20%), midterm (35%), final (45%). Texts: Achebe, C., THINGS FALL APART; Dinesen, I., ANECDOTES OF DESTINY; Park, M., PAVANE FOR A DEAD PRINCESS.

Course Description
This course explores the notions of ethnicity, cultural identity and its components through the examination of "Koreanness" or the Korean character across time and space. On the theoretical side, we review contrasting definitions and understandings of ethnicity and cultural identity, and explore their connection to related notions such as race, family, place and national citizenship. We then consider the multiple dimensions making up cultural identity and their context-dependency by examining characteristic Korean traits in the realm of politics, social organization, economic activity, social psychology and life cycle configuration in different historical periods, and by considering the changing narratives, motifs and meanings that sustain them. In order to better comprehend the scope and limit of context-dependency, we look into ongoing processes of hybridity, differentiation or identification taking place among members of Korean communities abroad. Special attention is paid to the influence of the economic and cultural expansion of the country of origin on the ethnic identification of these communities.
