Thisworkshop will bring together the next generation of Korean Studies
scholars ineither postdoctoral or assistant professor positions, along
with seniorscholars in the discipline. The intention is to link this new
generation witheach other, provide feedback on their work from senior
scholars, and in particularmentor these younger scholars through the
tenure process. Each younger scholarwill prepare a paper in advance that
best represents their major researchproject, while senior scholars serve
as a discussants. We particularly wish tofocus 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 KoreanStudies scholar but
who use Korea as a case of a larger question in theirresearch.

participantsfrom all fields in the social sciences and humanities and
from institutionsthroughout the US and Canada.  
 
Theworkshop will fully cover participants' travel, lodging and meals for
theduration of the workshop. Funding for the program is provided by both
