James Larson’s Summary

I am a communication researcher with a Ph.D. from Stanford University. While I was a full-time professor I taught courses in international communication and advertising/marketing communications. I directed a major executive training program for Korea Mobile Telecom (now SK Telecom) at the University of Colorado in 1995-96. For the past eleven years I have managed technology (networks and web-based services) and testing activities (all computer-based TOEFL and other CBT in South Korea) as Associate and presently Deputy Director of the Fulbright Commission in Seoul.
My books include Television's Window on the World, The Telecommunications Revolution in Korea, Global Television and the Politics of the Seoul Olympics, and The Internet and Foreign Policy. I am working on a complete revision of The Telecommunications Revolution in Korea.

Trained in various methods of quantitative and qualitative social science research; experience with survey research, content analysis, and market analyses.

I have a working, social fluency in the Korean language and now work routinely with Korean language source materials.
