face="Times New Roman">Most of you will already have heard the sad news of
JaHyun Haboush’s <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>passing away on
January 30. Her death at the end of a long battle with cancer, which she faced
with great courage and stoicism, has been a great shock for her many friends all
over the world, not least in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place
w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>, where she often attended workshops and the AKSE
conferences. It will be superfluous to list all her scholarly achievements here,
but I particularly want to note the great debt we owe her for the various ways
in which she has served the Korean Studies community by editing volumes that
made a lasting contribution (beginning with <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The Rise of Neo-Confucianism in Korea</I>,
co-edited with De Bary), and by organizing workshops, conferences and
collaborative projects that have significantly raised the profile of the field
and encouraged us to explore new perspectives. The volume <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Epistolary Korea: Letters in the
Communicative Space of the Chosŏn, 1392-1910</I> she edited most recently is an
excellent example of the way she furthered the cause of Korean Studies by
initiating a joint project. JaHyun conceived the idea, worked out the concept
that links a wide range of documents, and then made great efforts to bring the
project to a highly successful conclusion. Without her, we would have nothing
even remotely similar to this valuable collection. JaHyun’s scholarly gifts were
matched by her personal qualities. She will be very much missed, both as a
scholar and as a person, and remembered with gratitude and affection.</FONT></P>
