 strong><br />When I witnessed the weeklong uprising in Gwangju in May 1980\
 , I had no idea that the event would become the foundation for democratic c
 hange in South Korea. I recently published my memoir\, Witnessing Gwangju (
 the Korean translation is entitled 푸른 눈의 증인)\, based upon extensive notes I
  took at the time. During my talk I will cover three topics\, illustrating 
 examples from the Uprising in 1980 and how they also resonate today: leavin
 g out the unheard minimizes the full nature of events\, conflict is always 
 more interesting than cooperation\, and how a false narrative can persist l
 ong into the future.</p><p>How to register?<br />Please fill out a form <a
