    South Korea: More Than Pop Culture

    On today's episode, we welcome Mikyung "Mia" Jang, a sophomore pre-dental student, and Dr. Jinhee Yoo of the Sports Management and Marketing program here at Gannon. There's no question that South Korean pop culture has become a global sensation, but I feel that other parts of Korean culture are often overlooked in favor of a K-Pop hit or the next acclaimed piece of film or television. The three of us discuss several different aspects of Korean culture, from food to feminism, to provide you with a more holistic view of this incredible country and culture.

    "At Least We Had Our Freedom" - The Humanitarian Crisis in Afghanistan

    We are joined today by two guests from the Gannon University community to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan: Haroon, a graduate student who came to the U.S. just two weeks before the Taliban takeover, and Dr. Anjali Sahay, an associate professor in the Political Science department in the School of Public Service and Global Affairs here at Gannon University.   We hope this discussion inspires you to aid all refugees and immigrants in your communities, wherever you are. If you are listening from Erie, PA, we recommend you reach out to Lydia Laythe at USCRI Erie at llaythe@uscrimail.org to aid refugees and immigrants, including Afghan immigrants.   Questions or concerns? Ideas for additional podcasts? Email me at lyons037@gannon.edu   Trigger Warnings: Violence and Trauma   Special thanks to Brandon F. of Gannon U Tech Support for his above and beyond assistance in making this episode possible.
