research, receive feedback from faculty members and other graduate
students, and contribute towards the building of an interdisciplinary
community of future scholars in Korean Studies.


NEKST 2024 is scheduled to be an* in-person* event. The two-day conference
will feature panel presentations, workshop sessions for dissertation
chapters, and roundtables devoted to critical issues in Korean Studies.
Partial travel grants and lodging stipend are available for participating
graduate students. Meals will be provided during the conference.

degree are eligible to apply. We welcome submissions on research topics
