The below is quoted directly from an email circulated by the UH-Manoa Department of Linguistics: Dear UH Linguistics community, This is a reminder that this coming Thursday we will welcome UH's own Lisette Flanary (Academy of Creative Media) to screen her new documentary " ONE   VOICE " for the LSH! This will be happening on Thursday, November 17 at 6PM in the Center for Korean Studies Auditorium. Please join us!
