series (constituting one “carousel lecture”) for the spring/summer semester of 2019. We envision seven different experts presenting
<b>research-based teaching</b> on issues defining contemporary Korea. The disciplines represented shall comprise humanities, cultural studies, cultural anthropology, political science, and social studies.

<i>en passant</i> fashion, akin to how a good novel might teach the basics of a historical period’s conflicts just by the way — while the reader is engrossed in a story of love and revenge.

90-minute lecture, taking place once a week). Students take an exam at the end. Exams and assessment are done by the project director. The carousel lecture does not require registration and will of course also be open (theoretically) to the general public,
