Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Associate Professor to Examine “Evil Regime” of North Korea

Tim Dixon, J.D., associate professor in the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Division of Humanities, will close the fall 2009 Faculty Lecture Series with a presentation titled “The Evil Regime? North Korea Unveiled.” The event will take place on Nov. 10 from 12 to 1 p.m. in the Parker Building, room 240

This talk will explore the development of the Kim regime in North Korea, the world's only dynastic communist regime. What is the North Korean “cult of personality” really like? What is life really like there? Should the world fear or pity North Korea? What will a change of leaders bring to it? Dixon’s lecture will provide a look inside the closed society of North Korea.

The Faculty Lecture Series draws from the knowledge and expertise of more than 120 full-time faculty members within the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences. The series explores the faculty’s diverse areas of interest in the arts, humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, biological sciences, and performing arts. This year’s lectures examine topics related to the college’s 2009–2010 academic theme of “Good and Evil.”

These talks are free and open to the public. For more information on the college’s Faculty Lecture Series, contact Jim Doan at (954) 262-8207 or visit www.fcas.nova.edu/articles/fls.
