[KS] Koreanstudies Digest, Vol 43, Issue 8

Wed Jan 17 12:58:23 EST 2007

Dear Korean Studies Associates

  I was wondering if you could help me. I am studying for a PhD in contemporary Korean art in Manchester and I'm finding it difficult to make contacts with korean artists, both in the UK and South Korea. I'm also finding it difficult meeting other Korean academics in the UK.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Kind regards
