[KS] Call for Applications: CKS Sponsored Panel for AAS 2013

[Kelly Jeong]

Dear Colleagues,


Please announce widely.


Call for Applications:

Committee on Korean Studies-Sponsored Panel for San Diego AAS (2013)



Beginning with the AAS in Toronto (2012), the Committee on Korean Studies
(CKS) has been sponsoring innovative panels on Korean studies that present
the broader Asian studies community with a knowledge that is
inter-disciplinary, transnational, comparative, and relevant to the issues
of today’s world.  Continuing this tradition, CKS is planning to sponsor
one panel at the upcoming AAS in San Diego (2013) which places the history,
culture, politics, and/or economy of the Korean peninsula in global
perspectives.  We are especially interested in non-traditional formats
(i.e., roundtable) that are tightly focused around a pressing issue of
debate, innovative methodological approaches, and comparative
perspectives.  Some possible examples include (1) Representations of the
“foreign” in contemporary Korean culture and (2) Discourses on youth and
popular culture in neo-liberal South Korea.  We encourage panel applicants
to consider these guidelines as they formulate proposals.  All proposals
will be vetted through the standard process.  If chosen, CKS will nominate
a panel for sponsorship.



For further details, please contact CKS chair (2012-13), Todd A. Henry, at
tahenry at ucsd.edu
