BACKGROUND:

The HMS Colloquium in the Korean Humanities Series at GW provides a forum 
for academic discussion of Korean arts, history, language, literature, thought 
and religious systems in the context of East Asia and the world.  The 
Colloquium series is made possible by an endowment established by the estate 
of 
Hahn Moo-Sook, one of Korea's most honored writers, in order to uphold
