Why doesn’t the Korean War end? An academic conference, art exhibit, and series of film screenings examine this war, and the ways in which it has reconfigured memory, political economies, knowledge and culture on both sides of the Pacific, leaving legacies of uprootedness and unending conflict. From Cold war culture to national security policies, “The Unending Korean War” will contextualize the current crisis with new scholarship, films and art in a two day event and a month long art exhibit.
Purpose:- To bring scholars from different disciplines, backgrounds and perspectives with artists, filmmakers students and the broader community to re-examine this on-going war that has impacted, and continues to affect the societies and culture of the U.S., the Koreas, and the rest of Asia.

I wish to register for the conference. How do I register?
RSVP to apa.rsvp@nyu.edu. seating is limited so all guests should rsvp.
I would like to see this event to also consider the topic on how Korean (unending) War can be finally ended for North Korean people and for Korea at large which should be the foremost subject for all those directly interested in the future of Korea.
I am a korean war veteran.I arrived in Korea March of 1953. I was a Marine with Fox Co 2nd Battalin 5th Marines first Marine Division.I was in the Nevada Cities Battle which was a contest for the CPA to break through to our lines from about March 24 to April 5 It ended in a stalemade .I received a purple Heart medal and a Combat Action Ribbion from the USMC.Some time latter I came down with a strange
fever that nearly killed me. Years later I found out that this fever was Korean Hemmorrigic fever caused by a secret biological experiment on the part of the USA.I have not been able to get more complete data etc.Perhaps the conference will be of help.
There will be many Korea scholars at this event, so there may be someone who could provide information on how to search for such data.
