Welcome

Welcome to Peninsula Dispatch. The aim of this site is to provide in-depth articles that shed light on important issues, events, people, and current developments related to the Korean Peninsula.

While I have written over a hundred articles about North Korean affairs for various media outlets, think tanks, organizations, and websites, the aim with this site is to have a platform to share stories that delve deeper into important issues and to go beyond what is currently making headlines.

Having now completed my PhD, I hope to use this platform to continue exploring my various research interests while also providing readers with (hopefully) some interesting and informative pieces.
