Dear all,

please kindly circulate this call for applications for our two MA 
programs, *Contemporary East Asian Studies (MA CEAS) and Modern East 
Asian (MA MEAS)* studies among interested students and colleagues.


The /Institute for East Asian Studies IN-EAST/ at the University of 
Duisburg-Essen welcomes applications for its two *MA programs in East 
Asian Studies*. Both study programs aim at training students in the 
theoretical and problem-centered analysis of East Asian societies, 
politics and economies and are taught in English.

The application deadline for both programs is:

  * *July 15 for non-EU citizens with non-EU degrees */(soft deadline,
    technically possible until July 31)/
  * *September 15 for EU citizens/BildungsinländerInnen/Non-EU citizens
    with EU degrees*

Interested students are welcome to reach out and contact our team at 
maceas at in-east.de


The Master’s Program in *Contemporary East Asian Studies (MA CEAS)* is a 
social science-based program with a contemporary and interdisciplinary 
profile. It offers research-focused training for highly qualified 
graduates with a BA or similar degree in social sciences or economic 
science.

Students in the MA CEAS program focus on learning Chinese, Japanese or 
Korean language and specialize in social sciences or economics, 
combining intensive language training with interdisciplinary and 
discipline-specific modules on East Asia. Prior skills in an East Asian 
language are not required.

For details on requirements, the application process and study program 
contents see:

https://www.uni-due.de/in-east/study_programs/ma_ceas.php


The Master’s Program in *Modern East Asian Studies (MA MEAS)* is 
designed for students with a BA degree in East Asian regional studies or 
East Asian language studies, ideally with a disciplinary focus in the 
social or economic sciences.

It aims to build students’ skills in assessing contemporary change 
processes in the East Asian region. Proficiency in an East Asian 
language (Chinese, Japanese or Korean) is further developed based on the 
students’ prior advanced skills in the respective language.

For details on requirements, the application process and study program 
contents see: https://www.uni-due.de/in-east/study_programs/ma_meas.php

Subject: [KS] [CFP] AAS CKS Preconference 2027 at Boston University
Message-ID: 
 <CAOR_ZNZ9KGzBruz0pi+P5_aV-HE--3VgnFD-wdLz-HeperEL_w@mail.gmail.com>

Dear colleagues,

We warmly invite you to submit a proposal for the next AAS CKS
preconference.

.......................

The Committee on Korean Studies is now accepting proposals for the
preconference, to be held on Wednesday, *March 17, 2027*, at Boston
University in Boston, MA.

The culture of dissidence in Korea is entering a new phase. Whereas the
democratization movement that secured the direct presidential election
system in June 1987 was led by male-centered militant resistance, young
women in their twenties and thirties emerged as the driving force of the
latest dissident movements, including the light-stick protests to impeach
former president Yun Sukyeol after his illegal declaration of martial law
on December 3, 2024. The documentary *The Longest Night: Namtaeryeong*
(dir. Kim Hyunji, 2026) details how predominantly middle-aged or older male
farmers formed an unexpected alliance with young women when the
pro-impeachment tractor protest was blocked by the police at Namtaeryeong
Pass in Southern Seoul on December 21, 2024. The female grassroots
protestors not only protected the farmers from police brutality but also
shared their own stories on various issues at an open-mic event, from job
insecurity to discrimination against sexual and gender minorities, from
rental deposit fraud to anti-Chinese sentiment.

This watershed moment demands a revisit to the long history and evolution
of the cultures of dissidence (and, vice versa, conformity and sycophancy)
in Korea, from earliest recorded times to the present. This will offer
fresh, interdisciplinary angles to raise new, controversial questions, to
excavate underexplored sources, archives, and themes, *to bring together
scholars of premodern, modern, and contemporary Korea*, and to revise and
enrich our understanding of broadly defined Korean literature and culture.
We welcome proposals that examine the literatures and cultures of
dissidence in Korea and comparative contexts, across any historical era.

The proposal and presentation must be in English. We accept proposals
for *individual
papers* as well as *organized panels* of three to four authors with closely
interconnected papers.



Some examples include, but are not limited to:

Exiles, Outcasts, and Nonconformists in Korea, Old and New

Conformists, Tag-Alongs, and Sycophants in Korea, Old and New

Proletarian Literature in Korea and Beyond

Revisiting Minjung Literature

Dissidence in Korean Popular Music

Labor and Literature

Literary Disability Studies

Avant-Garde Literature

Speculative fiction/ Science Fiction

Detective Fiction/ Crime Fiction

Environmental Literature/ Climate Fiction

Translation as a Form of Resistance

Feminism and Gender Politics in Korean Literature

Politics in Korean Webtoon and Digital Literature

Contemporary South Korean Women Writers

Dissidence in Popular Culture

LGBTQIA+ Literature

Rewriting the Jeju 4.3

Ethnic Korean Writers/ Border Fiction

Rethinking Cold War Culture in Korea and Beyond

Postcolonialism and Decolonization

Transnational & Transpacific Literature

Literary Dissidence in North Korea

Dissidence in Premodern Korea and the Sinographic Cosmopolis

Culture of Remonstrance (*kan*諫) in Premodern Korea and Beyond

(Righteous) Dissidence in Korean Buddhism, Daoism, and (Neo) Confucianism



*Please submit your proposal as a single PDF to *koreanstuidesbu at gmail.com

*Submission deadline for all proposals: August 20, 2026. *

*Notification of Acceptance: October 1, 2026 *

*Individual Papers: *Proposals should include (1) Presenter’s name,
affiliation, and contact information, including email address, (2) Paper
title and abstract (250-word maximum)

*Organized Panels: *Proposals should include (1) a list of participants,
their paper titles, their affiliations, their positions, and their contact
information, including email addresses, and (2) A panel title and summary
(maximum 250 words) detailing the overarching connection between the papers
and providing a brief overview of each presentation (3) A 150-200-word
abstract for each presentation within the panel.



If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the conference

Dear Scholars of Korean Studies,
Greetings from the Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies.

We are pleased to present you with No. 63 of Kyujanggak Sague&nbsp;(Kyujanggak Quarterly Newsletter) to esteemed teachers and scholars who take an interest in Korean studies.

Dear all,

The 33rd biennial Association for Korean Studies in Europe (AKSE) Conference will be held at the University of Bucharest, Romania, between June 24 and June 27, 2027.  

The year 2027 marks the 50th anniversary since AKSE was founded in 1977.  

To this day, AKSE remains the main scholarly society for Korean Studies in Europe. Its objectives are to stimulate and coordinate academic Korean Studies in all countries of Europe, and to contribute to the spread of knowledge of Korea among a wider public. 

The biennial AKSE conferences provide an opportunity for European scholars of Korean Studies to gather and exchange research ideas. They also host the AKSE membership meeting, the association’s central event. At the same time, they serve as a forum for dialogue between European Korean Studies and the wider academic community. In this spirit, we warmly welcome non-members and scholars from outside Europe.

Please see below for details on individual paper and panel proposal submissions. For more information about the conference, and to register to submit an abstract, please also see the conference website available from July 1st: https://coms.app/akse2027/welcome.html

Key dates: 

1 July 2026  – 15 September 2026: Submission of abstracts 
1 January 2027: Notification of acceptance
1 January 2027 – 1 April 2027: Registration 
1 January 2027 – 30 May 2027: Online paper submission 

Submission guidelines: 

General information 

Abstract submission will entail preliminary registration (not binding). Formal registration for all participants and attendees will be open January-April 2027. 

Subjects in all areas of Korean Studies are welcome. During the abstract submission, submitters will have to choose a field for their presentation. 

All abstracts should be written in English, but the official languages of the conference are: English, French, German and Korean. You must specify the presentation language if it is different from English. 

Both individual abstracts and panel proposals can be submitted, although panel proposals will be treated preferentially. 

We strongly encourage panel diversity (institutional, national, disciplinary, gender, and career-stage), and this will be an important criterion in the final selection process. 

Each session will last for 100 minutes and typically consist of four paper presentations. To allow plenty of time for discussion, presenters should not exceed 15 minutes (60 minutes for presentations, 40 minutes for discussion). 

Instructions for panel proposals 

Panel proposals should include: a concise title (e.g. “Korean Diaspora in US”); up to three keywords; details of up to five panelists (up to four presenters and an optional non-presenting chair); and a panel abstract of up to 300 words. 

Additionally, each presenter should prepare an abstract of up to 300 words.
 
Normally panels do not include discussants. The panel chair may act as discussant if invited to do so. 

Instructions for individual papers 

Individual presenters should submit an abstract of up to 300 words, as well as a paper title and up to three keywords. 

Additional information on the website 

Further information about the conference —including information about registration fees and graduate student travel subsidies — will be available on the conference website (https://coms.app/akse2027/welcome.html)

Dear colleagues,

Korea Journal is pleased to announce the publication of its Summer 2026
special issue. As guest editor Hyojin L. Fromell notes, South Korea’s
religious landscape comprises over 927 registered bodies—encompassing
Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, and numerous indigenous and
new religious movements. This landscape is distinctive in that religion,
ethnicity, and national origin are not necessarily aligned , producing
configurations of diversity rarely found elsewhere. Indeed, as the articles
in this special issue demonstrate, South Korea serves as a generative hub
within global circuits of religious exchange.

In addition to the special feature, the Summer 2026 issue presents three
research articles: an analysis of wartime medical reconstruction led by the
WHO and UNKRA that rendered South Korean society more legible to the state;
a study on the relationship between power, fake news, and partisan
polarization across two presidential elections; and an examination of the
translation and reception of Han Kang’s literary works in China.


Finally, the issue includes three review essays: Kyu-hyun Jo discusses
recent publications by Cornel Chang, Stephen Hong Sohn, and Yumi Moon;
Keum-youn Han reviews Han Kang’s *Light and Thread* (2026); and Min Jung
You examines Jae Kyo Jin’s *Jisik gwa Joseon* (2025).


Korea Journal is an Open Access publication. Research articles are
published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives (CC BY-ND)
license, which permits the free reading, downloading, and distribution of
work in both print and electronic formats, provided the original author and
journal are properly acknowledged.

Subject: [KS] [2026 KSC Retreat] Walking the Edge of the Capital on July 30
Message-ID: <1929261872.34670.3992.1783914716326@hiworksMail>

Dear all,
The Institute for Global Humanities Research and Collaboration (IGHRC) at Korea University is pleased to announce a Koreanist Retreat, held as part of the 2026 Koreanist Summer Connections program.
★ The application deadline is July 24. Please register via the link below (registration will close early once 15 participants have signed up).https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfhdM_0QS51iUtY8FshtLF1ALBPbQkBXxyAZxugEcMsmoze3Q/viewform
Walking the Edge of the Capital: Night Walking Along Hanyang Doseong
□ Schedule: July 30, 7–9 PM□ Language: Korean, English□ Tour Route: Hyehwamun Gate – Naksan section of Hanyang Doseong – Heunginjimun (Dongdaemun)
⚠️Wheelchair accessibility is limited along some sections of the city wall.
□ The Seoul City Wall (Hanyang Doseong) was more than a military fortification. As the boundary of the Joseon capital, it reflected the city's political order, defense strategy, and urban development for over five centuries. Today, its surviving walls continue to reveal how the capital was organized and protected.
Beginning at Hyehwamun Gate and following the Naksan section to Heunginjimun (Dongdaemun), this evening walk examines the wall's military, political, and historical significance. Through the surviving landscape, participants will explore how Seoul's capital space was constructed, defended, and transformed from the Joseon dynasty to the present.




We look forward to your interest and participation.
Best,Songhee Lee Research ProfessorInstitute for Global Humanities Research and CollaborationKorea University, Seoul
