[Bruce Acker]

The Asia Research Institute at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, will host its second annual Korean studies symposium, K-pop and the West: Media, Fandom, and Transnational Politics, October 27-28, 2023. The symposium aims at creating an opportunity to think about research, pedagogy, and methodologies in our critical study of K-pop in the West. Keynote speakers will be Dr. Dafna Zur, Stanford University, and Dr. Thomas Baudinette, Macquarie University, Click here for the symposium program.<https://www.buffalo.edu/asiainstitute/academic-programs/annual-korea-symposium/k-pop-and-the-west--media--fandom--and-transnational-politics.html>

The Asia Research Institute has funding to provide accommodations and meals for symposium attendees, even if not presenting on a panel. Funding is limited, so priority will be given to (1) faculty and graduate students whose work is directly related to the symposium themes; (2) scholars from institutions that generally do not provide funding for research or conference attendance; and (3) tenure track assistant professors. There is no registration fee for the symposium. Attendees will need to pay for their own travel to Buffalo.

Anyone wishing to attend the symposium and/or request funding should fill out this form<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=ikpGlu34sUCZ4l9rUKICUFfMozGBnIxPrFRZtu7yK7xUQzlMTFY1ME9UNjc3M0w3UTFBWUNKUlE0WC4u> by Monday, October 16. Our staff will respond within a few days to confirm your participation and let you know whether we will be able to pay for your accommodations.
