Going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm!

"Get out there and hit somebody!"

I am Maria Crutcher Professor of International Relations at the University of Southern California, with appointments in the Departments of Political Science and International Relations, and East Asian Languages and Cultures, and also in the Marshall School of Business. I am also Director of the USC Korean Studies Institute. Here is a short video that shows the type of community we've tried to build at the KSI: we are a non-partisan research institute with the highest intellectual standards, and everybody's welcome to come learn about Korea. I also hold a USSF “National B” Coaching license when “A” was as high as it went and have two Ivy League championship rings from when I was an assistant soccer coach years ago (the pictures are fuzzy but you can see me!).
