Foundation,invites inquiries and applications for the 4th "RisingStars"
junior faculty mentoring workshop, to be held on October 12-13,2012.
 
Thisworkshop will bring together the next generation of Korean Studies
scholars ineither postdoctoral or assistant professor positions, along
with seniorscholars from various disciplines. The intention is to link
this new generationwith each other, provide feedback on their work from
senior scholars, and inparticular mentor these younger scholars through
the tenure process. Eachyounger scholar will prepare in advance either a
paper intended for eventualsubmission to a disciplinary journal, or a
book prospectus and one key chapter,while senior scholars serve as
discussants. We particularly wish to focus onyounger scholars who may be
at schools not known for Korean Studies, or scholarswhose work is not
primarily about Korea but who use Korea as “a case of” alarger question
in their research.

participantsfrom all fields in the social sciences and humanities and
from institutionsthroughout the US and Canada.
