[국제한국학센터]

Hosted by the Research Institute of Korean Studies at Korea University Sponsored by the Pony Chung FoundationThe 6th RIKS Academy for Young Korean Studies ScholarsPlease visit RIKS website for more information: https://riks.korea.ac.kr/square/notice/detail/915Program Objectives Over the past decades, the Korean Studies field has seen quantitative and qualitative growth alongside an ever-increasing number of researchers inside and outside Korea. Despite the ever growing diversity of countries, cultures, and academic environments from which our researchers come from, many young researchers often do not have many opportunities to share their findings and receive valuable feedback.Korea University's Research Institute of Korean Studies (RIKS) worked in collaboration with the support of the Pony Chung Foundation to create an international platform, the RIKS Academy, in 2016. Since its founding in 1957, RIKS, a leader in Korean studies, has fulfilled its long-term mission of fostering interactions among young researchers and broadening the research of Korean studies. This year, the sixth RIKS Academy will bring together scholars of philosophy, history, culture, and literature for intensive courses designed to explore Korean studies in its broader regional context. The sixth RIKS Academy draws upon a foundation of the experiences of the past five years and will implement a new structure. The focus lectures will be accompanied by a roundtable discussion, and additionally there are plans to create more focused, systematic research presentations with panels that correspond with the research themes. Due to the global pandemic, RIKS Academy will take place over Zoom. The following two events aim to deepen participants' expertise and broaden networking connections between young Korean studies scholars: (1) Korean studies seminars led by leading scholars in the field and (2) Participants' presentations and discussions of their research topics. The RIKS encourages all participants' research and cooperation, and we look forward to working with you.
