_30TH AKSE CONFERENCE_ 

28-31 October 2021, La Rochelle (France) 

_  
       - CALL FOR PAPERS AND FIRST NOTICE -_ 

La Rochelle University
will host the 30th biennial AKSE Conference from 28 (Thursday) to 31
(Sunday) October 2021 in La Rochelle, France. The Conference is
co-organized by La Rochelle Université and Université de Paris with the
AKSE Council. 

The Association for Korean Studies in Europe, founded in
1977, is the main scholarly society for Korean Studies in Europe. Its
objectives are to stimulate and coordinate academic Korean studies in
all countries of Europe, and to contribute to the spread of knowledge of
Korea among a wider public. 

The biennial AKSE conferences provide an
opportunity for European scholars of Korean studies to gather and
exchange research. Hosting the membership meeting, they are the most
important event of the association as such. AKSE conferences are also a
way for European scholars to communicate with the global academic
community. We thus warmly welcome non‐Europeans and non‐members.

_FOR SUBMITTERS_ 

1) SUBJECTS AND
GENERAL GUIDELINES 

 	* Both individual ABSTRACTS and panel proposals
can be submitted. Panel proposals will be treated preferentially. All
paper proposals will receive a double-blind assessment. We strongly
encourage panel diversity (institutional, national, disciplinary), and
this will be an important criterion in the final selection process.
 	*
Subjects in all areas of Korean Studies are welcome. During the abstract
submission, submitters will have to choose a field for their
presentation.
 	* All ABSTRACTS should be in English while the OFFICIAL
LANGUAGES of the conference are: English, French, German and Korean. You
must specify the PRESENTATION LANGUAGE if it is different from English.

	* Abstracts/panel proposals will have to be submitted from 1ST
SEPTEMBER – 15 DECEMBER 2020 online via the conference website.

2)
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES 

 	* Each panel will last 105 minutes and
typically consist of four presentations.
 	* To allow plenty of time for
discussion, each presentation should not exceed 15 minutes (60 minutes
for presentations, 45 minutes for discussion).
 	* In case of an
organized panel, a fifth person can be invited as panel chair by the
panel organizer. Alternatively one of the four panellists can act as
chair.
 	* Normally panels do not include discussants. The panel chair
can act as discussant if invited to do so.

3) NOTE ON PANEL PROPOSALS

 	* Panel proposals should include a concise title (e.g. "Korean
Diaspora in US"), keywords (up to three), the number of panellists (five
in the case of a non-presenting chair or four in the case of a
presenting chair), and a panel abstract of about 500 words (or 3295
characters).
 	* In addition, each panellist should prepare an abstract
of about 500 words (or 3295 characters), including the paper title and
keywords.

4) NOTE ON INDIVIDUAL PAPERS
