With the generous support of the US Department of Education Title VI grant
program, the University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies is
pleased to announce travel grants of *up to $750 each* to scholars and K-12
educators to attend the 8th Perspectives on Contemporary Korea conference.
We plan to offer up to 10 grants for travel to Ann Arbor, MI.

*Religion, Politics & Happiness in Korea* will examine how religion may
have shaped the discourse on happiness in Korea and how efforts to thwart
the crisis of happiness may have shaped and redefined religion in Korea.
The conference aims to address some driving questions such as: Should the
difficult task of defining and ensuring happiness be entrusted to the state
and the law? Or would it make more sense to entrust this task to religious
institutions, practices, and traditions that have continued to function as
the source of enduring values? Can religion offer sustainable solutions to
the happiness crisis in Korea as it claims to be able to do, or is it a
part of the problem? and more.

The keynote roundtable will feature remarks by:

   - *Robert Buswell*
