Bong Joon Ho brings his singular mastery home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale.It will continue locally at the Waterworks Cinema through March 18.
Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist, to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. The Kims provide “indispensable” luxury services while the Parks obliviously bankroll their entire household. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks. By turns darkly hilarious and heart-wrenching, PARASITE showcases a modern master at the top of his game.

In addition to our physical wellness, it is important that during this time we remain committed to our communal well-being. Pitt aims to be an inclusive community in which everyone feels like they belong and are valued. Disappointedly, some members of our community have used the coronavirus as a vehicle to spew hateful rhetoric targeted at some of our international, Asian American students, and people who are perceived to have been in contact with COVID-19. This type of treatment is wrong, insensitive, harmful, and contrary to the University’s values. Although this outbreak started in China, having Chinese ancestry – or any other ancestry – does not place a person at higher risk for this illness.
As you discuss the coronavirus, please keep a few considerations in mind:
- Memes and jokes often stem from offensive stereotypes
- Jokes about Asian connections to the coronavirus normalize racist and discriminatory behavior
- Fact-check information before sharing on social media. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) are credible resources
- Empathize with those who have contracted COVID-19 or whose friends or family may be at risk, rather than blaming them
- Read the WHO A Guide to Preventing and Addressing Social Stigma
Together, we can make our campus feel inclusive for everyone by treating each other with dignity and respect and sharing accurate information with our fellow community members.

The heart of the Cobra experience is the array of 10 smokeless Shinpo Yakiniku grills in the rectangular dining room. Burnell and Piso said they spent a lot of time researching Korean-style barbeque locations in Los Angeles, New York and other places prior to opening Cobra. The experience draws from those Korean culinary influences, and also is informed by the Japanese technique of yakiniku, meaning that all the butchering is done prior to service. “There’s no need for scissors or a steak knife. It’s perfectly butchered for one bite,” says Piso.
What does it mean to lose your roots—within your culture, within your family—and what happens when you find them?The event runs from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at Alphabet City on the North Side (map). It's free, but tickets are required and are available online.
Nicole Chung was born severely premature, placed for adoption by her Korean immigrant parents, and raised by a white family in a sheltered Oregon town. From early childhood, she heard the story of her adoption as a comforting, prepackaged myth. She believed that her biological parents had made the ultimate sacrifice in the hopes of giving her a better life; that forever feeling slightly out of place was simply her fate as a transracial adoptee. But as she grew up—facing prejudice her adoptive family couldn’t see, finding her identity as an Asian American and a writer, becoming ever more curious about where she came from—she wondered if the story she’d been told was the whole truth.
With warmth, candor, and startling insight, Chung tells of her search for the people who gave her up, which coincided with the birth of her own child. All You Can Ever Know is a profound, moving chronicle of surprising connections and the repercussions of unearthing painful family secrets—vital reading for anyone who has ever struggled to figure out where they belong.

Join us for a luncheon discussion on Monday, March 23rd for “The Future of U.S. Policy on North Korea” featuring Frank Aum, Senior Expert on North Korea, U.S. Institute of Peace.It runs from 12:00 to 1:30 pm at the Rivers Club downtown (map). Tickets range from $25 to $45 and are available online.
After the collapse of U.S.-DPRK negotiations, it appears likely that relations between the two countries will take a downward turn and tensions will heighten on the Korean Peninsula. With North Korea unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons in the near-term and the U.S. insistence on maintaining a rigid sanctions regime against North Korea, what are the prospects for peace and denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula?
The English Language Institute (ELI) is pleased to host 10 teachers from the Korea National University of Education and six Korean ELI students this semester. To welcome this new cohort, the Asian Studies Center will host a second Korean Language Social Hour.

There will be snacks and drinks at this event, too.It runs from 4:00 to 5:00 pm in the Global Hub on the first floor of Posvar Hall (map).
