30TH
AKSE CONFERENCE 

28-31 OCTOBER 2021, LA ROCHELLE (FRANCE) 

- CALL FOR PAPERS AND FIRST NOTICE - 

updated on 9 December 2020 

La
Rochelle University will host the 30th biennial AKSE Conference from 28
(Thursday) to 31 (Sunday) October 2021 in La Rochelle, France. The
Conference is co-organized by La Rochelle Université and Université de
Paris with the AKSE Council. 

The Association for Korean Studies in
Europe, founded in 1977, is the main scholarly society for Korean
Studies in Europe. Its objectives are to stimulate and coordinate
academic Korean studies in all countries of Europe, and to contribute to
the spread of knowledge of Korea among a wider public. 

The biennial
AKSE conferences provide an opportunity for European scholars of Korean
studies to gather and exchange research. Hosting the membership meeting,
they are the most important event of the association as such. AKSE
conferences are also a way for European scholars to communicate with the
global academic community. We thus warmly welcome non‐Europeans and
non‐members.

_FOR SUBMITTERS_ 

1) SUBJECTS AND GENERAL GUIDELINES 

 	*
Both individual ABSTRACTS and panel proposals can be submitted. Panel
proposals will be treated preferentially. All paper proposals will
receive a double-blind assessment. We strongly encourage panel diversity
(institutional, national, disciplinary), and this will be an important
criterion in the final selection process.
 	* Subjects in all areas of
Korean Studies are welcome. During the abstract submission, submitters
will have to choose a field for their presentation.
 	* All ABSTRACTS
should be in English while the OFFICIAL LANGUAGES of the conference are:
English, French, German and Korean. You must specify the PRESENTATION
LANGUAGE if it is different from English.
 	* Abstracts/panel proposals
will have to be submitted from 1ST SEPTEMBER – 31ST DECEMBER 2020 online
via the conference website.

2) PRESENTATION GUIDELINES 

 	* Each panel
will last 105 minutes and typically consist of four presentations.
 	*
To allow plenty of time for discussion, each presentation should not
exceed 15 minutes (60 minutes for presentations, 45 minutes for
discussion).
 	* In case of an organized panel, a fifth person can be
invited as panel chair by the panel organizer. Alternatively one of the
four panellists can act as chair.
 	* Normally panels do not include
discussants. The panel chair can act as discussant if invited to do
so.

3) NOTE ON PANEL PROPOSALS 

 	* Panel proposals should include a
concise title (e.g. "Korean Diaspora in US"), keywords (up to three),
the number of panellists (five in the case of a non-presenting chair or
four in the case of a presenting chair), and a panel abstract of about
500 words (or 3295 characters).
 	* In addition, each panellist should
prepare an abstract of about 500 words (or 3295 characters), including
the paper title and keywords.

4) NOTE ON INDIVIDUAL PAPERS 

 	*
Individual presenters should prepare an abstract of about 500 words (or
3295 characters), including the title and keywords (up to three).
