Panel for San Diego AAS (2013)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman"">Beginning with the
AAS in Toronto (2012), the Committee on Korean Studies (CKS) has been
sponsoring innovative panels on Korean studies that present the broader Asian
studies community with a knowledge that is inter-disciplinary, transnational,
comparative, and relevant to the issues of today’s world. Continuing this tradition, CKS is
planning to sponsor one panel at the upcoming AAS in San Diego (2013) which
places the history, culture, politics, and/or economy of the Korean peninsula
in global perspectives. We are
especially interested in non-traditional formats (i.e., roundtable) that are tightly
focused around a pressing issue of debate, innovative methodological
approaches, and comparative perspectives.
Some possible examples include (1) Representations of the “foreign” in
contemporary Korean culture and (2) Discourses on youth and popular culture in neo-liberal
South Korea. We encourage panel
applicants to consider these guidelines as they for<a name="_GoBack"></a>mulate
proposals. All proposals will be
vetted through the standard process.
If chosen, CKS will nominate a panel for sponsorship.</span></p>
