North Korea is perhaps the single most demonized and least understood country on Earth. After 70 years of diplomatic isolation, relentless sanctions, a devastating war and apparent threats of nuclear confrontation, what makes peace and reconciliation possible after a round of Olympic diplomacy? This is a question that Sharat Lin has asked and on which he will share his thoughts on April 8. He has traveled to North Korea to see firsthand what the country is really like, and he presents an eye-opening picture of a place few Americans have ever seen. Sharat will also explore a viable road to peace with North Korea.

Dr. Sharat Lin is a research fellow and past president of the San Jose Peace and Justice Center. He is also on the Board of Advisors of the Initiative for Equality. He writes and lectures on global political economy, labor migration, social movements, and public health. Sharat is also an educator, community organizer, photojournalist, artist, and peace dancer.

The UUSM is wheelchair accessible.
