On February 9th, 2006, The Korea Society hosted a presentation titled "Hungry For Peace: International Security, Humanitarian Assistance and Social Change in North Korea" by Hazel Smith, a professor of international relations at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom and a consultant to major NGOs providing relief to North Korea. Taking issue with the popular notion that North Korea's state secrecy makes accurate information on North Korean society impossible to come by, Smith argued that much information was available-and it indicates that important but largely unnoticed social changes are underway.
