[KS] CFP: USC Graduate Conference in Korean Studies

[Jaewuk Kim]

Dear All,

The USC Korean Studies Institute invites applications for its Annual USC
Graduate Conference in Korean Studies. This conference aims to foster a
multidisciplinary community of local and regional graduate students whose
research projects significantly engage Korean society and culture across
the periods. It offers a platform for emerging scholars to present their
work-in-progress, receive feedback from faculty and peers, and participate
in interdisciplinary discussions within a supportive environment.

We welcome applicants from the humanities and social sciences who are
conducting research related to Korea, East Asia, or Asian diasporas.
Submissions that situate Korea within broader comparative or theoretical
frameworks are especially encouraged. The previous edition of the
conference, held in February 2025, comprised eight panels that touched on a
wide range of subjects such as gender issues in contemporary South Korea,
transpacific exchanges in multimedia art, Sinitic influences in premodern
Korea, and more. Each panel was moderated by a faculty discussant who
commented on and contributed to student presentations.

To apply, please submit your CV and a 250-word abstract with a list of 3–5
keywords to the Google Form link <https://forms.gle/gxYugDcpdvMztCEK6> by
August 15, 2025. If you are applying as a panel, please include both a
panel abstract as well as individual abstracts for each panelist.
Preference will be given to those who can present in person. Selected
applicants will be notified by September 5, 2025. Full papers should be
submitted by October 3, 2025 and presentation materials by October 17. The
conference will take place on October 24–25, 2025.

Thank you for spreading the word!

Best regards,

Jaewuk Kim, on behalf of the organizing committee
