<span style="font-family: Garamond"><font face="Garamond">This workshop will bring together the next generation of Korean Studies scholars in either postdoctoral or assistant professor positions, along with senior scholars in the discipline. The intention is to link this new generation with each other, provide feedback on their work from senior scholars, and in particular mentor these younger scholars through the tenure process. Each younger scholar will prepare a paper in advance that best represents their major research project, while senior scholars serve as a discussants. We particularly wish to focus on younger scholars who may be at schools not known for Korean Studies, or social scientists who may not fit the traditional definition of a Korean Studies scholar but who use Korea as a case of a larger question in their research.</font></span><font face="Garamond"><span> </span><span style="font-family: Garamond"><o style="font-family: Garamond" p="#DEFAULT"></o style="font-family: Garamond"></span></font> </p>
