Call for Papers: The 2008 Conference of the British Association of
Korean Studies


The next conference of the British Association of Korean Studies (BAKS)
will take place between the 8th and 10th of September 2008. The venue
will be Clare College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. The theme
of the proceedings will be "The Koreas at 60 - Looking Forward / Looking
Back."

The BAKS council invites submissions of paper abstracts on the theme of
the conference from individuals who wish to participate. (These can
either be individual submissions or  panel proposals, and submissions
are especially welcome from graduate students.).  The deadline for
submission of abstracts is December 31st, 2007. While BAKS  hopes to
provide for as many papers as possible, the council acts as the final
arbiter in deciding which papers will be accepted and anticipates
announcing the successful paper proposals in February 2008.
