<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">A
friendly note that June 1 is the deadline for inquiries about the 3<sup>rd</sup> "Rising
Stars" junior faculty mentoring workshop at USC on October 21-22, 2011. We
encourage anyone interested to apply or inquire more details.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">USC’s
Korean Studies Institute, with generous funding from the Korea Foundation,
invites inquiries and applications for the 3rd "Rising Stars" junior
faculty mentoring workshop on October 21-22, 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 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.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">The
workshop has a limited number of openings, and is available to participants
from all fields in the social sciences and humanities and from institutions
throughout the US and Canada.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">The
workshop will fully cover participants' travel, lodging and meals for the
duration of the workshop. Funding for the program is provided by both the Korea
Foundation and USC’s Korean Studies Institute.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><span style=""> </span>* Scholars with a Ph.D. in
hand who focus on Korean Studies<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><span style=""> </span>* Special consideration
will be given to faculty from universities that are not major Korean Studies
institutions, or those in the social sciences whose research uses Korea as a
case of a larger question or issue. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Those
interested in attending the workshop should send a cover letter and CV to
Elaine Kim, associate director of the USC Korean Studies Institute
