Eligible topics include:
• Korean religions in North or South America (e.g., Korean Buddhism, Christianity, or new religions in North or South America) • North or South Americans’ involvement in the religions of Korea (e.g., Canadian Presbyterian missionaries in Korea or European-American Sŏn [Zen] priests in Korea) • Trans-Pacific aspects of Korean religions with respect to rituals, ethics, myths, doctrines, experience, or materiality

Eligible topics include:
• Social/institutional, practical/ritual, ethical, narratives/mythic, doctrinal, material, and experiential dimensions of Confucianism as they are found in or outside modern East Asia • Confucian negotiations with modernity—e.g., “religionization” of Confucianism in Korea • Tu Wei-ming’s valorization of Confucian humanism • Confucianism’s relations with other religions: e.g., Christianity

Papers accepted for the panels may be considered for publication in the Journal of Korean Religions, the only English-language journal devoted to scholarly discussion of Korean religions, based in Sogang University in Seoul
