This talk is presented by Robert Newlin, a professor of Medieval and Classic Literature at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. He gives a talk on “Birds and Place” and, to be specific, it covers “Birds in Korea”. Before starting his lecture, in a calm voice, he reads his article that was published in Gwangju News by the GIC. After that, he starts to explain some special birds such as the Common Kingfisher, Red-crowned Crane and Siberian Blue Robin. In addition, he shows the audience those birds’ pictures that he took by himself. During the Q&A Time, he answers questions from the audience with an enthusiastic attitude, talking about his opinion and experience related to the topic of birds. Overall, this talk is a good opportunity not only for foreign audiences but also Korean audiences to learn about “Korean birds and their place”.
