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, and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Political Science and International Relations. I am also the proud father of two awesome children, one a budding authoress, the other who lives to play soccer. I also hold a USSF “National B” Coaching license when “A” was as high as it went.
