research pertaining to Korean history and Asian studies. It is an opportunity
for young scholars to present their research to both their peers and eminent
scholars. The conference will also enable participants to meet others in their
field conducting similar research, and gain valuable professional experience in
presenting their work for discussion</span></p>

conference, titled “Converging Studies and Methods to a Comprehensive

from 30 graduate students from 12 countries. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19
situation the 2020 conference was cancelled. However, as a result of the post-pandemic
‘new-normal’, the next conference will include an online platform. Thus, we
invite graduate students to submit abstracts for our next conference on May 28,
2021.</span></p>

2021 Annual Korea University Korean History Graduate Student Conference is
“Marginalized Voices in Korean History.” We welcome paper proposals that focus
on any historical time period. Although all applications will be taken into
consideration, particular attention will be given to papers that focus on
marginalized groups including, but not exclusively, women, ethnic and religious
minorities, the LGBTQI community, the disabled, etc. Scholars with bold and
different approaches help to deepen our understanding of history and build on
already constructed ideas through new interpretations. The conference aims at
providing a space for emerging scholars to present innovate methods and
perspectives in Korean history and Asian studies research. Since we are
revisiting the cancelled theme from 2020, we welcome applicants from the
previous year to participate.</span></p>
