David Fields earnt his PhD from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2017, is a Fulbright scholar at Yonsei University, and editor of the Journal of American-East Asian Relations. A leading expert on Syngman Rhee, he edited The Diary of Syngman Rhee (Museum of Contemporary Korean History), and has an upcoming book – soon to be published by the University of Kentucky Press – on the early period of Rhee’s life (Pre-1945).
