2023 IKSU K-Unification Friends International Conference for Young Scholars:

Tracing the Steps Toward Korean Unification: Learning from the Past to Prepare for the Future

University of Central Lancashire, UK, 1-2 December 2023


The International Institute of Korean Studies (IKSU) at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is pleased to invite young scholars to the 2-day 2023 IKSU International Young Scholars Conference. The conference aims to provide a venue for young scholars to present their research, strengthen ties with other young scholars, and raise awareness of the unification and peace issues in the Korean peninsula among the youth.



The conference intends to facilitate interdisciplinary discussions on the potential benefits and challenges of Korean unification by looking into how we can learn from the past. Paving the way towards unification involves areas such as governance, social integration, human rights, economy, security, and so on. Thus, we welcome proposal abstracts addressing why the issue is important and how we can promote Korean unification and peace in the region.



Eligibility

Applicants must be PhD candidates or early career academics/researchers with a PhD degree awarded in the past five years, aged between 19 - 34.
