*Identity and Transnational Mobility In and Out of Korea*

Goethe-University of Frankfurt, Germany

February 22–23, 2018





The Korean Studies at the Goethe-University of Frankfurt is pleased to
announce its hosting of an international conference, “Identity and
Transnational Mobility In and Out of Korea.” Recent research interest in
the role of transportation and communication technologies in society and
migration has increased in parallel with that in conditions and identities
of Korean diaspora and migrants in South Korea. This conference aims to
examine important socioeconomic aspects of transnational mobility in and
out of Korea as well as the process in which overseas Koreans and migrants
in South Korea gain agency and negotiate multiple identities. We welcome
proposals for papers on all aspects of identity and transnational mobility
in and out of Korea, including, but not limited to, transnational
mobility/migration and belonging in historical and contemporary contexts,
media consumption and ICTs in transnational migration, issues concerning
migrants in South Korea, and Korean diaspora and ethnic return migration.



In your proposal, please include an abstract of 300 words as a doc file as
well as CV, and send them by *August 20* (Sunday) to Mi-Jeong Jo at
