The Center for Korean Research and Columbia University Press announce a new
Korean Studies Book Initiative

The Center for Korean Research in the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at
Columbia University and Columbia University Press are pleased to announce a
new Korean studies book initiative. A $10,000 subvention will be awarded
each year on a competitive basis to an author who has secured a contract
from Columbia University Press for an outstanding Korea-related book in any
academic discipline and covering any time period. Applications for the
subvention are not required. Columbia University Press will consider all
Korea-related manuscripts under contract in a given year for the award. The
designation "A Center for Korean Research Book" will appear on the title
page of the book, along with acknowledgment of the funding source on the
copyright page.

"The Center for Korean Research is happy to have the opportunity to expand
its publications activity through its partnership with Columbia University
Press. We hope that Center for Korean Research Books will advance
Korea-related scholarship in the social sciences and humanities," remarks
Theodore Hughes, director of the Center for Korean Research in the
Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University.

Christine Dunbar, editor, Columbia University Press says, "From Peter Lee's
Sources of Korean Tradition to Janet Poole's When the Future Disappears: The
Modernist Imagination in Late Colonial Korea, Columbia University Press has
long been dedicated to publishing seminal translations and forward-thinking
monographs in Korean studies. We are delighted to be working with the Center
for Korean Research to continue this important work."

Those interested in publishing in the series should send to Christine
Dunbar, editor at Columbia University Press ( <mailto:cd2654 at columbia.edu>
cd2654 at columbia.edu), a proposal containing a brief description of the
content and focus of the book, a table of contents or chapter outline,
literature review and market analysis, and professional information about
the author, including previous publications.

About the Center for Korean Research:

The Center for Korean Research (CKR) in the Weatherhead East Asian Institute
at Columbia University plays a leading role in the study of Korea on the
local, national, and international levels. CKR collaborates with institutes
and departments across Columbia University, providing support for
Korea-related research across the social sciences and humanities in the form
of programming assistance, graduate fellowships, postdoctoral positions,
undergraduate teaching grants, and library funding. By sponsoring public
lectures, conferences, workshops, and cultural events, CKR advances academic
knowledge and a greater public awareness of Korea in the New York City area.
CKR serves as a bridge between Korean studies in North America and the most
recent work of the Korean academic world through its active partnerships
with universities and institutions in South Korea. The Center also maintains
a global reach via its sponsorship of the field's leading journal, the
Journal of Korean Studies (published by Duke University Press).
