The field of Korean adoption studies is specifically concerned with international adoption from Korea including the experiences of overseas adopted Koreans, birth families, adoptive families, and the families of adoptees. We recognize and celebrate the interdisciplinary nature of Korean adoption studies. These scholars work at the intersections of Asian and Korean studies, postcolonial and cultural studies, and social and behavioral sciences. Their research is also engaged with issues of race and ethnicity, migration and diaspora, gender and family, and globalization and transnationalism. </div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">The day-long symposium will bring together scholars from around the world who are conducting research in the field of Korean adoption studies. We also welcome submissions from scholars creating linkages between transnational adoptions from Korea and other sending countries such as China, Ethiopia, Colombia, and Ukraine. We encourage submissions from everyone, but will prioritize academic papers from those who have completed or are currently enrolled in a terminal master’s or Ph.D. program. </div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Further information about the call can be found here:<span class="ydp67878077Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://ikaa.org/research-symposium/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://ikaa.org/research-symposium/</a> </div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Submission deadline: 1 December 2018</div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Symposium Date: 31 July, 2019</div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Venue: Lotte Hotel Seoul, Korea</div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Organizer: International Korean Adoptee Associations</div><div class="ydp67878077gmail_default" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;"><br clear="all"></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><div dir="ltr" class="ydp67878077gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font size="1">---<br>Anders Riel Müller / 송연준</font><div><font size="1">MSc.
