*2021 Manuscript Workshop for Junior Faculty*

*CALL FOR APPLICATIONS*

Deadline: *February 1, 2021*

The University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies is
accepting applications for its manuscript workshop. The manuscript workshop,
to be held virtually in summer 2021, will offer two junior faculty members,
preparing a book-length manuscript or other similarly substantial academic
publications, with an opportunity to further develop their manuscripts for
publication.

At the workshop, the participants will receive critical feedback on their
manuscript from up to two senior faculty mentors, and the participants will
be asked to nominate the senior faculty mentors as part of the application.
Each manuscript will be circulated in advance and discussed in turn.

The Nam Center seeks to develop a network of scholars in Korean studies,
and the workshop participants will be asked to serve as a discussant for
one paper session of the 2021 International Conference of
NextGen Korean Studies Scholars (NEKST)
<https://ii.umich.edu/ncks/news-events/events/conferences---symposia/8th-international-conference-of-nextgen-korean-studies-scholars.html>,
which will take place virtually *May 11-15, 2021*.

This workshop is made possible with the generous support of the Academy
of Korean Studies.
