Bruce Cumings, Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in history at the University of Chicago, will present a lecture titled "The Koreas" on Wednesday, March 2, as part of the Great Decisions lecture series at St. Norbert College. Cumings' lecture will focus on the differences between North and South Korea, and on the complicated nature of North Korea's interactions with its allies and its enemies. The lecture will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Fort Howard Theater of the F. K. Bemis International Center on the college campus.

Cumings' lecture is the third installment in the 2016 Great Decisions series, an annual nationwide program meant to bring together local, regional and national experts to discuss various issues of international interest. The eight-part lecture series is presented on Wednesdays starting in February and running through April. St. Norbert College is one of only two institutions of higher learning in Wisconsin that offers the entire series. Great Decisions is sponsored by the St. Norbert College Center for International Education.

Admission to the lecture is $5 for community members; cash and checks are accepted at the door. Alternatively, those interested in attending the entire lecture series can purchase a $60 subscription, which includes tickets to all of the lectures as well as the Great Decisions 2016 Briefing Book. There is no charge to attend the lectures for students, faculty and staff from any educational institution who present an ID upon entry.
