The Sixth North American Workshop on Korean Literature: NAOKOL 2013
Call for Papers

Date: November 15, 2013
Venue: Columbia University
Sponsors: LTI Korea; Center for Korean Research and Department of East  
Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University

We invite submissions from those working in any discipline or field  
(for example, history, literature, film, queer studies, anthropology,  
Asian American studies, communications, visual culture) who are  
incorporating Korean literature and/or film from any period into their  
work in a significant way for the sixth annual North American Workshop  
on Korean Literature (NAOKOL) to be held on November 15, 2013 at  
Columbia University.

Among the aims of NAOKOL are to share ongoing projects with colleagues  
working in the field and to widely promote Korean literary and film  
studies. We are seeking submissions by scholars at any stage of their  
careers ?dissertators, junior scholars, senior scholars ?who are  
interested in presenting portions of their dissertations or book  
projects for discussion at the Workshop. ABD's and junior scholars are  
particularly encouraged to apply.

Those interested in presenting their work at the Workshop should send  
a 300 word abstract and short CV to the email address below. As in the  
past, travel and accommodation expenses will be defrayed to the  
greatest extent possible. The deadline for submissions is July 31, 2013.
