Lecture: Professor Akira Nishimura, Kagoshima University- Pacification of the Dead Spirits, Inspiration for the Living: The Relation of the Violent Structure of Japanese Society to the Commemoration for the War Dead
In Japan, two kinds of the dead have been discussed separately in the past research trends on the commemoration for war dead: the fallen soldiers and the civilian casualties like the atomic bomb dead. In this talk, Professor Akira Nishimura will try to recapitulate such genealogies of the commemorations based on the violent structure of Japanese society and abstract two types of vectors as “pacification and inspiration” which represent the relation of the living and the dead.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice, which temporarily halted the fighting, yet failed to officially end the Korean War. This conference will examine key issues surrounding the war and the ongoing division of Korea, such as separated families, Korea's militarization, and the humanitarian crisis in North Korea.

Ending the Korean War: A Day of Action
Organized by United Methodist Women (UMW), this day will include a public forum on the Korean crisis that examines the ongoing cost of militarization of the Korean peninsula and the steps needed to replace the temporary armistice treaty with a permanent peace treaty. The forum will look at how the road to peace in Korea runs through Washington, DC, and how women and the Korean diaspora must steward it along the way.
