[KS] [Call for papers] KU 2nd Graduate Student Conference on Korean History

[Korea University]

Dear Manager,

The Department of Korean History at Korea University is pleased to sponsor
the second annual Graduate Student Conference on Korean History on May 2,
2014 at Korea University in Seoul.  We cordially invite graduate students
conducting any research related to Korean history to submit abstracts for
our 2014 conference.

The Korea University Korean History (KUKH) Graduate Student Conference is
an annual conference which aims to provide a forum for graduate students to
exchange ideas and discuss current research on Korean history. This one-day
conference on Korea University’s Anam campus in Seoul is an opportunity for
young scholars to present their research to both their peers and eminent
scholars. All panels will be moderated by Korea University faculty and
graduate students. The conference will also enable participants to meet
others in their field conducting similar research, and to gain experience
in presenting their work for discussion.

Since 1946, the Department of Korean History at Korea University has played
an important role in the research and development of Korean history, and
offers the most resources to students of Korean history in terms of course
offerings, faculty advisors, research grants and scholarships, and
scholarly exchange opportunities.  The department’s eight faculty members,
including one specially appointed foreign professor, and its 150 graduate
students are a part of one of the most vigorous centers of academic
research in the field.  The department has also been a recipient of the
government-aided research supporting program (the “Brain Korea 21 Project”)
three times in succession since 1999, and collaborates with various
research centers at Korea University such as the Center for Korean History,
the Asiatic Research Institute (ARI), and the Research Institute of Korean
Studies (RIKS).
