CONNECT WITH the George Washington Institute for Korean Studies GWIKS at gwiks@gwu.edu.
Less
than four months ago, U.S. President Donald Trump briefly set foot in North
Korea, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to do so. This was the third
meeting between Trump and Kim in twelve months, an unimaginable development for
Americans and Koreans alike. Ambassador Joseph Yun, former U.S. Special
Representative for North Korea Policy (2016-18), will discuss whether these
Trump-Kim meetings are just photo-ops or if they could lead to an agreement
that will denuclearize North Korea and thus change the Korean Peninsula and the
region.
Yun
is a Senior Advisor at the U.S. Institute for Peace and is recognized as one of
the nation’s leading experts on relations with North Korea, as well as broader
U.S.-East Asia policy. Also scheduled to speak is Jisoo M. Kim who is a
professor at George Washington University and director of the Institute for
Korean Studies at GW.

33] – On Tues., Oct. 15 from 6 to 9 PM, Real Talk Tho: How
Baltimore Ceasefire Cuts Violence in Half, hosted by The Real News
Network and Ida B's Table, 231 Holliday St., Baltimore 21202.
Real Talk Tho is an opportunity for people to discuss and debate real solutions
to our city's intractable problems. What would effective policy look like and
how do we get it implemented? Search for solutions, develop the editorial
work of The Real News and eat some great modern soul food.
Baltimore Ceasefire
weekends have been held four times a year every year since 2017, when its
organizers first decided to encourage people around the city to stop the
violence and take part in activities that build community. Ceasefire
weekends--which usually include marches, prayer circles, and other community
events--feel good to participate in, but now there is proof that they actually
do lower the rate of gun violence experienced in the city.
According to a study
published by data analyst Peter Phalen, the city sees anywhere from 30 to 66
percent fewer shootings in Baltimore during Ceasefire weekends. His research also
found that the results of Ceasefire weekends can extend well after those three
days are over, sometimes lowering the rate of gun violence for as many as 12
days after the weekend is over. That's important information, especially as
city and state leaders like Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and Baltimore Mayor
Bernard "Jack" Young look for ways to bring down the city's crime
rate. Phalen will be at the next Real Talk Tho to talk about how he found this
data and what it could mean for the city. Representatives from Baltimore
Ceasefire will be there to talk about what the data means for Baltimore and
their movement. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/698759780529652/.

35] --
On Tues., Oct. 15 from 6:30 to 8:30
PM, hear a book talk “The Queen: The Forgotten Life Behind an American
Legend” with author Josh Levin, hosted by The Potter's House, 1658
Columbia Rd. NW, WDC 20009. Levin exposes how a story that once shaped
the nation's conscience was clouded by racism and lies. While Levin addresses
stereotypes, welfare politics and political rhetoric, the author's true goal is
to put a face to the bogeywoman that Reagan exploited during his election. He
presents Linda Taylor, the "welfare queen," not as a parable for
anything grand, but as a singular American scoundrel who represents nothing but
herself. As he stunningly reveals, the deeper truth, the messy truth, tells us
something much larger about who we are. Levin is an executive editor at Slate
magazine. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/2591655397565142/.
