The East Asian Studies Area of the University of Malaga, Spain is pleased to announce the International Conference “People at the Edges in Korea's Past and Present” on February 24th to 27th, 2026. 

·      February 24th Welcome reception

Conference Topics
 
Abstract dealing with, but not limited to, the following topics, are welcome:

·      Gisaeng  <>in Korea: Voices, Representations and Memory.
·      Nobi, Slavery, Force Labor and Human Trafficking.
·      Disempowered people, hadicaped and minorities in Korea (Social/Religious or Ethnic).
·      Socio- Political Activism and Feminism in Korea.
·      Literature, art and marginality.
·      Language discrimination, new ways of teaching Korean and inclusive communication in Korea. 

 
The aim of this conference is to study the interrelated processes of discrimination, integration and domination of social groups within Korean society and history, with a special focus on women. The research topic can be approached from many disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, with pre-modern and modern issues being of special interest. The given complexity of this topic invites also multidisciplinary and comparative research. Societies have organized themselves throughout their history employing mechanisms that have promoted social stratification. Since the Late Joseon dynasty, Korean society has suffered a strong reorganization that reevaluated the mechanisms and discourses of such stratification, opening the possibility for a social reorganization, but dynamics of discrimination, integration and domination still interplay in both Koreas. Given the extension of such topic, the present conference aims at focusing on various present and past main topics.
