Aaron Gerow, who chairs the East Asian Languages and Literatures department and is the Alfred W. Griswold Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures and of Film and Media Studies said, “What has been wonderful about the growth of Korean studies at Yale is that it has enjoyed broad support, going beyond any single department, with individual programs hiring new faculty on their own initiative. We haven’t had to fight and scratch to make gains but have enjoyed strong backing from the administration and faculty across the university.”
