*Call for Nomination for the 2022 inaugural Hong Yung Lee Book Award in
Korean Studies*
The Center for Korean Studies (CKS) at UC Berkeley is pleased to announce
the inaugural Hong Yung Lee Book Award in Korean Studies which will be
awarded in 2022. This annual award is open and flexible regarding academic
discipline. It encompasses the conventional areas of Korean Studies (i.e.,
humanities, arts and media, and social sciences) but also Korean Studies
texts that engage the Korean diaspora and/or comparative approaches.
$10,000 will be awarded to the author(s) whose nonfiction English-language
academic monograph about Korea demonstrates outstanding scholarly merit,
research prowess, and methodological innovation.
The deadline for submission is January 15th, 2022. A publisher can submit
titles released in 2020 and 2021 that explore the subject of Korea. Authors
can also take initiative and submit books independently. In either case,
please send a digital version of the book (if available) for submission by
email to anjinsoo at berkeley.edu or a physical copy to the following address
for consideration:
Hong Yung Lee Book Award in Korean Studies

Center for Korean Studies
University of California, Berkeley
1995 University Avenue, Room 510R
Berkeley, CA 94704-2318
The Center for Korean Studies establishes the policy and rules for the
prize, appoints the selection committee for review, and administers the
award event in honor of the awardee(s). The Koreanist faculty at UC
Berkeley conducts the preliminary review of all submissions. Subsequently,
The Center for Korean Studies forms an independent review committee
composed of the representatives from the field of Korean Studies outside UC
Berkeley to review and assess the finalists’ books.
The result will be announced in the fall of 2022, followed by an award
ceremony that includes the awardee(s)’s special lecture and an invited
scholar respondent’s presentation at the Center for Korean Studies of UC
Berkeley.
The late Prof. Hong Yung Lee (1939-2017) taught political science at Yale
University and UC Berkeley. As Chair of the Center for Korean Studies in
the formative years from the 1990s into the 2000s, he had a profound impact
on the development of Korean studies at UC Berkeley. He was also the first
tenured Korean faculty member in the social sciences hired by the
university. A scholar of comparative studies of East Asian politics and
culture, Prof. Lee wrote numerous landmark articles about Korea in the
English, Korean, and Chinese languages in addition to ground-breaking
monographs about Chinese politics such as *The Politics of the Chinese
Cultural Revolution* and *From Revolutionary Cadres to Party Technocrats in
Socialist China*.
