DONALD CLARK is part of a three-generation Presbyterian missionary family whose members spent a combined total of 216 years in Korea between 1902 and 1973. His own childhood in Seoul planted interests that turned into a career in Korean Studies, starting with Peace Corps service in the 1960s. This was followed
by graduate degrees at Harvard University in the 1970s and thirty-three years teaching about Asia in the liberal arts environment of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, where he is now Murchison Professor of History. At Trinity, Professor Clark also co-chairs the East Asian Studies at Trinity ("EAST") Program and anchors the university's participation in the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA), funded by the Freeman Foundation.
