*“Liberation, 1945” – Korea Journal Workshop*
*Friday, February 21 (KST)*

August 15, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from
colonial rule and its subsequent partition. To encourage deeper critical
reflection on this pivotal moment, *Korea Journal* issued a call for papers
last year, inviting submissions that address long-debated or overlooked
issues.

On *Friday, February 21 (KST)*, *Korea Journal* will host a hybrid workshop
featuring seven scholars who will present their working drafts for comments
and discussion. Drawing from diverse disciplinary perspectives, the papers
explore a range of questions and issues related to the theme of
“Liberation, 1945.” Presentations and comments may be given in English or
Korean. Translation will not be provided.

Following revisions and a double-blind peer review process, manuscripts
ready for publication will be appear in the Fall special issue. We invite
you to join us online. Please find the program details and Zoom access
information below.
