The Korea Institute is pleased to announce the 2025-26 Kim Koo Visiting Professor at Harvard University. Mark E. Caprio is professor emeritus at Rikkyo University in Tokyo, Japan. He is the author of *Japanese Assimilation Policies in Colonial Korea, 1910—1945* (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2009)*.* Additionally, he has co-edited a number of volumes, the most recent being a volume titled *Japan as the Occupier and the Occupied* (London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2015). He has also contributed academic articles on colonial-era issues and Korea’s wartime and immediate postwar history that include colonial-era collaboration, Japan-based Korean repatriation, Korean attitudes toward the trusteeship plan that the Allied powers wished to impose on Korea, and Japan’s role in the Korean War to academic journals, as well as to edited volumes. Presently, he is working on a monograph that considers overseas Korean efforts during the Pacific War years (1941-1945) to gain favor with the Allied forces (the US, UK, Nationalist China, and the Soviet Union).   
  
The Kim Koo Visiting Professorship at Harvard University was established by the gift of Dr. Ho Youn Kim and Mrs. Mee Kim of the Kim Koo Foundation, in honor of the memory of Kim Koo, the famous Korean patriot, and president of the exiled Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea during Korea’s colonial occupation by Japan.
