2013 Council Elections<br>
<p><strong>Nominations for New Council Members Now Open</strong></p>
<p>The AKSE council seeks nominations to replace two regular council
members (Marion Eggert and Valérie Gelézeau) whose 4-year term
ends in 2013, at the Vienna conference (July 6-9, 2013). AKSE
members in good standing (as of the date of this announcement) are
invited to nominate candidates for these two seats. All AKSE
members in good standing (as of the date of this announcement) are
eligible for nomination to council membership. Elections per
ballot will take place during the 2013 AKSE Conference in Vienna
(July 6-9). Only full members who have paid their membership dues
will be entitled to vote; results will be announced during the
Membership Meeting at the Vienna Conference.</p>
<p>Nominations (including the written consent of the nominee) should
be sent to the AKSE president, Antonetta Bruno (<a
href="mailto:antonetta.bruno@uniroma1.it">antonetta.bruno@uniroma1.it</a>)
with a cc to Marion Eggert (election organizer, <a
href="mailto:marion.eggert@rub.de">marion.eggert@rub.de</a>) by
1 May 2013. Self-nominations are not accepted.</p>
<p>The names of all nominees will be published on the AKSE website
by mid-June.</p>
<p>In nominating candidates, please take note of the following:</p>
<p>--The AKSE council should represent the diversity of Korean
Studies in Europe, both regionally and in terms of discipline.<br>
--Nominees should have been a member of AKSE for at least 4 years.
They should have experience organizing conferences or directing a
project or department, or should have experience as a member of a
scientific committee of evaluation. <br>
--Nominees should be committed to collaborate with colleagues
across Europe for the greater interest of the Association and be
willing to accept specific tasks that have to be done by members
of the Council team to achieve the greater goal of furthering
Korean Studies in the European region.<br>
--Nominees will be expected to provide a 150-word statement by 1
June 2013 for posting on the AKSE website.<br>
--The organizer of the AKSE Conference is co-opted as Secretary
into the AKSE Council and serves a full 4-year term. This means
that the next AKSE Conference organizer will replace Rüdiger Frank
on the Council as his 4-year term comes to an end in 2013.</p>
