Dear List:

Not all of the talks in this conference are devoted to Korean studies, 
but Korean literary issues will be constantly returned to in the 
various presentations and discussions. The complete schedule, notes on 
the participants, and website (where the flier can be downloaded in PDF 
format) can also be accessed at both 
<http://www.international.ucla.edu/cira/Poetics_Pedagogy.asp> and

I would appreciate it if you could forward this message to your 
colleagues or students in East and South Asian, comparative or world, 
and contemporary American literary and cultural studies as well.


Thank you.
