*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 (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).

*About Columbia University Press:*

Columbia University Press was founded in 1893. With nearly 125 years of
continuous publishing activities, it is the fourth-oldest university press
in America. Notable highlights in its history include the publication of the
 *Columbia Encyclopedia* in 1935, the acquisition of *The Columbia
Granger’s Index to Poetry* in 1945, and the introduction of the three
*Sources* anthologies of Chinese, Japanese, and Indian classic works in the
1950s. East Asian studies has always been a strength of the Press, which
has published such luminaries in the field as Theodore de Bary, Donald
Keene, Burton Watson, Haruo Shirane, and JaHyun Kim Haboush. For more
