<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">August 15, 2025 marks the 80<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Korea’s liberation from colonial rule and its partition. To mark that occasion, <i>Korea Journal </i>invites scholars from any humanistic discipline, at any stage in their career, to submit proposals that speak to the theme of <b>“Liberation, 1945”</b> for publication in a special issue to be published in Fall, 2025. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">For inclusion in this special issue, the proposed historiographic essay or research article (7,000-9,000 words in length) may address long-debated issues such as historical forces that led to the formation of two Koreas. Or, it may address issues long-neglected or undertheorized – for example, the impact of war mobilization on ideas and practices of gender relations and citizenship, from the late colonial period through the Korean War. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The proposal should be <strong>no more than 600 words</strong> in length. In addition to providing a concise statement of the problem, the proposal should integrate into its narrative a historical overview of how the topic has been conceptualized, or made peripheral. The proposal’s main focus, of course, has to be how the problematic can be articulated, and how interpretive strategies and research findings would be made sensible and compelling. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The list below represents a range of possible topics. Your proposal need not be limited by these topics, but your historiographic essay or research article must speak in some essential way to the theme of <b>“Liberation, 1945”</b>: </span></span></p>
