Lea Sneider, a former member of the Korea Society board, passed last week. She was an inspiration to all of us at the Korea Society. The legacy she and her husband, the late Ambassador Richard Sneider, left is distinguished. Lea impressed many with her eye to Korean art and antiquity, and she won tremendous praise for her 1980s exhibition Auspicious Spirits: Korean Folk Paintings and Related Objects. Her assemblage of contemporary ceramics too is very fine, and a portion resides at the Society. The Society benefited greatly from her board service and the support she and her partner Rud Poats lent.
We extend warm condolences to her son Dan, a professor at Standord University, Rud and her entire family. Her commitment and legacy live on in the Korea Society’s daily efforts to bridge the peoples of Korea and the United States.
The Society offered a program on the Sneider family legacy in 2014, and we encourage you to view it here: The Sneider Legacy

The Nuclear Timeline with North Korea, featuring Jung Pak and Annika Betancourt| Friday, November 15, 2019|
November 15, 2019 – North Korea has warned that it will pursue a so-called “new path” if substantive progress isn’t made in negotiations with the United States by the end of the year.

To find out, Korea Society Policy Director Jonathan Corrado sits down with two experienced analysts for insights on timelines, sequencing, and the art of diplomacy.
Dr. Jung Pak is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution Center for East Asia Policy Studies. She previously held senior positions at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

US-North Korea Relations from Kim Jong Il to Kim Jong Un| Wednesday, October 30, 2019|
October 30, 2019 – History plays a role in shaping current events all over our the world — but it seems to be especially alive in Korea.

Dr. Ramon Pacheco Pardo is an Associate Professor in International Relations at King’s College London and author of the book US-North Korea Relations from Kim Jong Il to Kim Jong Un. In this discussion with Korea Society Policy Director Jonathan Corrado, Pardo attempts to “see through the cycle” and attribute rational explanations to Pyongyang’s mercurial behavior, asserting that North Korea’s has used brinkmanship and bargaining to achieve its main goal, which he considers to be diplomatic normalization with the US.
