We invite graduate students within Korean studies across the humanities and
social sciences to participate in the 6th International Conference of
NextGen Korean Studies Scholars (NEKST) at the University of Michigan, Ann
Arbor. NEKST gives graduate students in all academic fields an opportunity
to present their research on Korea, share academic interests, and build a
community of future Korean studies scholars. Applicants from all
disciplines are welcome, as long as the topic is related to Korea.

The two-day conference will feature traditional paper presentations,
workshop sessions for dissertation chapters and articles, as well as
professionalization workshops. We will deepen our interdisciplinary
discussion by hosting prominent Korean studies scholars as Faculty Mentors
to promote collaboration and discussion.

Current graduate students (MA or PhD) as well as those holding terminal MAs
from universities in any country are eligible to apply.  The deadline for
submissions is *January 31, 2018*. Please submit a 250-word abstract via
