*K History Schoolhouse **2025 Spring Lecture & Workshop Series *
In partnership with the Good Society Institute (Director: Kim Dong-Choon)
and PEACEMOMO (Director: Moon A-Young).
Conveners: Junha Cho, Hee-shin Choi, Henry Em, Dong-Choon Kim, Suzy Kim,
A-Young Moon, Jae-Jung Suh.
K History Schoolhouse is pleased to invite you to join us for a unique
opportunity to engage with modern Korean history.
Founded by three scholar-activists, K History Schoolhouse launched its
first lecture & workshop series in Spring 2024, with the long-term aim of
fostering community among participants across national boundaries, and to
strengthen networks of solidarity for peace and justice in Korea and around
the world.
As in previous terms, this in-person program, conducted in English, is
designed for those interested in critically engaged scholarship on modern
Korean history -- especially relevant as right-wing movements rapidly gain
strength -- and in experiencing solidarity-building efforts with South
Korea’s resilient democracy movement.
In our 2024 Spring and Fall programs, participants ranged in age from their
mid-20s to early-50s. Approximately half were students and faculty in
Korean studies, while others were freelancers, corporate employees,
filmmakers, and scientists. Participants hailed from Europe, North America,
Southeast Asia, and South Korea.
Registration for the Spring 2025 program is now open, with space limited to
twenty participants. The program will begin on March 15 and run for four
consecutive Saturdays.
· The first three Saturday sessions will each feature a workshop and
lecture, with a fee of *25,000 KRW per session* (including lunch).
· The fourth session will be a trip to Dongducheon, with a fee of *45,000
KRW* (covering transportation and lunch).
As fostering community solidarity is a core objective, we encourage
registration only for those who can commit to attending at least three of
the four sessions. If you are unable to meet this commitment, we kindly ask
that you consider joining us in a future term.
We look forward to welcoming you to this enriching experience!
