In 1979, Dr. James Palais (PhD Harvard 1968), former UW professor of Korean History, edited and published the first volume of the Journal of Korean Studies. For thirteen years it was a leading academic forum for innovative, in-depth research on Korea. In 2004, former editors Gi-Wook Shin (Stanford) and John Duncan (UCLA) revived this outstanding publication at Stanford University.

 

In August 2008, editorial responsibility transferred back to the University of Washington. With the editorial guidance of Clark Sorensen and Hwasook Nam, the Journal of Korean Studies (JKS) continues to be dedicated to publishing outstanding articles, from all disciplines, on a broad range of historical and contemporary topics concerning Korea. In addition the JKS publishes reviews of the latest Korea-related books.
