Colleagues: 
  
USC’s Korean Studies Institute, with generous funding from the Korea
Foundation, invites inquiries and applications for the 3rd "Rising
Stars" mentoring workshop on October 21-22, 2011. 
  
This workshop will bring together the next generation of Korean Studies
scholars in either postdoctoral or assistant professor positions, along
with senior scholars in the discipline. The intention is to link this
new generation with each other, provide feedback on their work from
senior scholars, and in particular mentor these younger scholars through
the tenure process. Each younger scholar will prepare a paper in advance
that best represents their major research project, while senior scholars
serve as a discussants. We particularly wish to focus on younger
scholars who may be at schools not known for Korean Studies, or social
scientists who may not fit the traditional definition of a Korean
Studies scholar but who use Korea as a case of a larger question in
their research.   
  
The workshop has a limited number of openings, and is available to
participants from all fields in the social sciences and humanities and
from institutions throughout the US and Canada.   
  
The workshop will fully cover participants' travel, lodging and meals
for the duration of the workshop. Funding for the program is provided by
both the Korea Foundation and USC’s Korean Studies Institute. 
  
  
Eligibility and Application 
  
    * Scholars with a Ph.D. in hand who focus on Korean Studies 
    * Special consideration will be given to faculty from universities
that are not major Korean Studies institutions, or those in the social
sciences whose research uses Korea as a case of a larger question or
issue.  
  
Those interested in attending the workshop should send a cover letter
and CV to Elaine Kim, associate director of the USC Korean Studies
Institute (elaineek at dornsife.usc.edu). 
  
Deadline: June 1, 2011.
