The SNU in the World Program, administered by the Office of International Affairs (OIA) at Seoul National University (https://oia.snu.ac.kr/snu-world-program-swp) is a university-led and government-funded initiative to train undergraduate students to be globally engaged scholars and leaders. The SNU in the World Program with the Science & Justice Research Center (SJRC) at UC Santa Cruz is coordinated through the Science & Justice Research Center’s Visiting Scholar Program with Doogab Yi, Associate Professor of Science Studies at Seoul National University (https://bit.ly/2P9b7Wi). The SNU in the World Program at UC Santa Cruz is one of five other programs selected for funding and focuses on Innovation, Science and Justice. Other SNU Programs include visits to Washington DC (public policy), Japan (sustainable development), and Australia (climate crisis).
In January and February 2025, the SJRC will host Professor Doogab Yi, graduate students and undergraduate students for two weeks.
Select in-person lectures and activities will allow for a few additional guests to join. People will be encouraged to express interest by selecting which activities they are interested in attending by marking any that apply in a Google Form made available once the program has been scheduled. Refer to the Winter 2024 Schedule and Participant Biographies for a sample of activities.
