Biography
Professor Youngshik Bong was a Freeman post-doctoral fellow at Wellesley College and Assistant Professor of Korean Studies in the Department of Political Science at Williams College, Massachusetts before joining the School of International Service in 2007. Professor Bong has also previously taught at the Elliot School of International Affairs at the George Washington University, Rutgers University (New Brunswick) and the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Bong's research is focused on the interplay between nationalism and globalization on security issues including maritime disputes in Asia, anti-Americanism and U.S.-Korea alliance, and Asian regionalism. He is published in the Journal of Asian Studies, International Journal of Korean Studies, Korea Observer, and The Brown Journal of World Affairs. His newest work on anti-Americanism in South Korea appears in "Rethinking Young Anti-Americanism in South Korea," (with Katharine Moon) in The Anti-American Century, (Ivan Krastev and Alan McPherson, eds.), Budapest, Hungary: Central European University Press, 2007.

Bong's current research project investigates the changing national identity of Korea in the global context, especially the marginalization of sexual minorities in democratizing South Korea.
