Description
At 6:34pm on October 29, 2022, the first of many emergency calls was made from Itaewon. None of these calls for help could stop the loss of 156 lives that night. Even though we study contemporary South Korean politics and society, we struggle to find words to describe this senseless tragedy. We thus come together to mourn and find meaningful ways to respond. We invite others to share our questions and grief too, as we honor the dreams and futures lost.
