Dear colleagues and friends of SSYCDS, Hope you are doing well! Please join me in welcoming a new member to the Song Yuan listserv, Hector Ivan Sanchez Trevino. Below please find his self introduction. I'm an incoming PhD student in the history department at Syracuse University. My main interest is the intellectual history of Chosŏn Korea and the intellectual foundations of its social institutions (including intellectual imports from the Song and the Yuan.) Before coming to Syracuse, I got my BA and MA in East Asian languages and civilizations at Penn. Sincerely, Ya Zuo Secretary, Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies
