Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share the below information on an upcoming international conference. It’s open to everyone, so if you are local, please feel free to stop by. Unfortunately, there will be no livestream for this event. But its keynote speech will be videorecorded and made available later on the YouTube channel of the Korean Studies Institute of the University of Southern California.

Technoscience, Gender, and Cultural Transformations
February 13-14, 2026
Rosen Family Screening Room (TCC 227), Tutor Campus Center, USC Parkside Campus

This conference seeks to advance the growing interdisciplinary field of cultural studies of science and technology in Korea by examining the dynamic intersections of technoscience, gender, and culture. Notably, the number of South Korean women in STEM fields has more than tripled since the 1990s, a trend that underscores women’s expanding roles beyond traditional STEM careers, spanning science fiction writing, science communication, and other technology-based cultural innovations. Hosted by the Korean Studies Institute at the University of Southern California, the conference will foster dialogue across disciplines and methodologies to deepen our insights into both the gendered impacts of contemporary technoscientific developments and the ways in which embodied perspectives inform technoscientific practices and cultural imaginaries. Here is the full conference program<https://dornsife.usc.edu/ksi/wp-content/uploads/sites/87/2026/02/TGC-Conference-Program_2026.pdf>, and you can also see participants' bios and abstracts at the event announcement on the KSI homepage<https://dornsife.usc.edu/ksi/>.
This academic event is co-sponsored by the Northeast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies; USC Libraries; USC’s Center for Feminist Research; the Center for International Studies; and the Office of the Divisional Dean of Social Sciences, USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Thanks,
Sunyoung Park
Director, USC's Korean Studies Institute
