제8회 고려대학교 한국사 대학원생 학술대회 원고모집 [8th Annual KU Graduate Student Conference on Korea]

 

Korea University, Seoul, South Korea / Also Livestream on Zoom Meetings

Planned Date : Friday, May, 28th, 2021

 

We invite submissions for the Korea University Graduate Student (KUGS) Conference to be held at Korea University in Seoul, South Korea, 2021, and simultaneously streamed online.

The KUGS Conference is an annual conference that aims at providing an interdisciplinary forum for graduate students to exchange their ideas and discuss current research pertaining to Korean history and Asian studies. It is an opportunity for young scholars to present their research to both their peers and eminent scholars. The conference will also enable participants to meet others in their field conducting similar research, and gain valuable professional experience in presenting their work for discussion

The 2019 conference, titled “Converging Studies and Methods to a Comprehensive Understanding of Asia” highlighted the recent achievements of Korean studies from 30 graduate students from 12 countries. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 situation the 2020 conference was cancelled. However, as a result of the post-pandemic ‘new-normal’, the next conference will include an online platform. Thus, we invite graduate students to submit abstracts for our next conference on May 28, 2021.

The theme for the 2021 Annual Korea University Korean History Graduate Student Conference is “Marginalized Voices in Korean History.” We welcome paper proposals that focus on any historical time period. Although all applications will be taken into consideration, particular attention will be given to papers that focus on marginalized groups including, but not exclusively, women, ethnic and religious minorities, the LGBTQI community, the disabled, etc. Scholars with bold and different approaches help to deepen our understanding of history and build on already constructed ideas through new interpretations. The conference aims at providing a space for emerging scholars to present innovate methods and perspectives in Korean history and Asian studies research. Since we are revisiting the cancelled theme from 2020, we welcome applicants from the previous year to participate.
