Esther will present her research focusing on the role of women in the field of dance in S. Korean culture on April 26th from 7-8:30 pm in Meneely 307.

Esther’s visit to the Wheaton campus is a collaboration between Faculty, Academic Advising, the Marshall Center for Intercultural Learning’s Weiss Women’s Leadership Fund and APIMESA Heritage Month.
