Ridgway Center for International Security Studies</a> will hold a symposium on “Ridgway and the Korean War,” at the University of Pittsburgh on April 3, 2009. This symposium will focus on Ridgway as both a man and as a leading military leader of the US, during a defining moment in the Cold War. According to Donald M. Goldstein, Professor & Interim Director of the Ridgway Center, and Dr. Dennis Hart, Associate Director of the Asian Studies Center at the University of Pittsburgh, "the legacy of Ridgway and the Korea War and their effects on Koreans and US relations with the world remain with us today and this important symposium will provide valuable insights and understanding of the man, the war, and the world they helped to create." Presentations will be followed by a question and answer session, and later by a public panel discussion on the Korean War. Audiences for the presentation and panel will include academics, students, veterans, and other members of the general community. Representatives from the Center for the Study of the Korean War will be in attendance and presenting.
