The Limits and Possibilities of the Natural in Korea
Date: Friday, June 5, 2026Location: HIB 135, University of California Irvine
The conference explores the limits and possibilities of multiple conceptions of what constitutes "nature," "biology," "nativeness," or "the organic" in the Korean context. How have terms such as jayeon자연自然, saengmul생물生物, saengtae생태生態, tojong토종土種, yugi유기有機, among others, been invoked in Korea and to what ends? How are they braided into nationalist or Cold War claims over nature and landscape? Conversely, how have these terms been used to denote differences and demarcate the boundaries of “Korean nature”? How have ideas about organicism evolved in Korea over time? What are the boundaries of “the natural" in Korea, and who gets to decide them?

Organized by Eleana Kim (UC Irvine), David Fedman (UC Irvine), Albert L. Park (Claremont McKenna College, The Claremont Colleges) and Juwon Lee (UC Irvine)

Esther Kim is a writer, journalist, and critic. Her Fulbright grant
(sponsored by Yonsei’s Institute of Korean Studies) funded her research for
a book on why and what Koreans forage.  After taking her degree in English
(Wellesley College, 2012) and a masters in modernist literature (University
of Edinburgh, 2013), she worked at Columbia University Press, promoting new
scholarship. She earned a masters in Korean Studies (SOAS, University of
London, 2019) while continuing work in the book business. She contributes a
monthly column to the Korea Times and criticism to American and British
papers. This year, she self-published her first art book, HOMELANDS 고향땅,
with painter Martyna Alexander, a translation of her grandfather’s story of
his childhood in northern Korea (near Sinuiju) and journey to the south
alone as a boy after liberation and before the outbreak of the war. She
lives in Taiwan with her husband. namulstudios at gmail.com

Julayne Lee is an artistic researcher, poet and Fulbright alumnus (2024 -
2025). Her project “Adopted Koreans as Space Makers” is a poetic
documentation of the history of Korean adoptees in Korea. Julayne’s debut
collection of poems Not My White Savior was on Bitch Media's Bitchreads: 15
Books Feminists Should Read in March and Entropy's Best of 2018. It has
been taught globally in Freshman Lit, Asian/Pacific Islander American Women
and US and Asia: Empire and Racial Liberalism. Julayne has presented at
universities and conferences in the U.S. & Korea. She has written for The
Washington Post, ILDA South Korean Feminist Journal, Cultural Daily &
elsewhere. @julayneelle

Tom Pyun is a novelist, essayist, and screenwriter. He is a 2025-26
Fulbright alumnus. He earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch
University-Los Angeles, studied at Vassar College, and Columbia University.
He has received writing fellowships from Tin House, VONA, and the Vermont
Studio Center. His essays and short stories have appeared in The Rumpus and
Joyland. His debut novel, Something Close to Nothing, was reviewed by the Los
Angeles Times, which called it “very, very funny” and noted that it
explores “the darkly hilarious side of our never-satisfied American
dreams.” He is currently adapting the novel into a feature screenplay.
Before becoming a writer, Tom worked as a strategy consultant at the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation’s Polio Eradication Initiative and in the
healthcare division of Los Angeles County Jail, the largest jail system in
the world. After working in infectious disease and mass incarceration, he
figures that if he can find humor in those environments, he can probably
find it anywhere. @thp100

Call for Papers

(Re)Thinking Lowest-Low Fertility in Korea and Beyond

The Fifth Annual University at Buffalo (SUNY) Korean Studies Conference
September 30 - October 2, 2026

Background

South Korea currently has the lowest fertility rate in the world, with a Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 0.72 in 2023, and it has been the only OECD country with a TFR below 1.0 since 2018. The profound demographic and socioeconomic implications of this decline led the Korean government to declare a "National Population Crisis" on June 19, 2024. Yet Korea is not alone. Lowest-low fertility - conventionally defined as a TFR at or below 1.3 - is now a sustained feature of many societies across East Asia, Southern and Eastern Europe, and, increasingly, parts of Latin America. Whether Korea's trajectory represents an extreme outlier rooted in distinctive socioeconomic and cultural conditions, or a leading edge of changes to come elsewhere, remains an open and pressing question.

This conference will bring together scholars from diverse fields and methodological traditions to provide a comprehensive understanding of lowest-low fertility observed in South Korea and other countries within the contemporary global context and to facilitate theoretical discussions grounded in rigorous empirical research.

Conference Structure

The program will consist of two parts:


  1.  Invited Keynote and Panel
The conference will feature a keynote address by Dr. James Raymo (Princeton University), followed by an invited panel of presentations and discussion featuring Dr. Hyunjoon Park (University of Pennsylvania), Dr. Alícia Adserà (Princeton University), Dr. Joeun Kim (Korea Development Institute), Dr. Sojung Lim (University at Buffalo, SUNY), and additional invited scholars whose work has shaped current thinking on Korean and comparative fertility dynamics.


  1.  Contributed Papers (this Call)
A set of paper sessions will be organized from submissions received through this open call.

Scope of the Call

Invited speakers and panelists will focus primarily on Korea and East Asia. To facilitate discussions of lowest fertility from global and comparative perspectives, this call also invites papers examining lowest-low fertility in countries beyond Korea, including but not limited to:


  *   Cross-national comparative perspectives situating Korea within broader global patterns
  *   Other East Asian societies (e.g., Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore)
  *   European countries with sustained sub-replacement or lowest-low fertility (e.g., Southern, Central and Eastern European cases)
  *   Latin American countries that have recently entered, or are approaching, the lowest-low range

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *   Proximate and structural drivers of fertility decline to lowest-low levels, including tempo-quantum dynamics and the role of migration
  *   Gender inequality, work-family conflict, and labor market conditions
  *   Housing affordability, education costs, and economic precarity
  *   Marriage, cohabitation, and union formation trends
  *   Cultural, normative, and ideational change
  *   The role and (in)effectiveness of family policies, broadly defined

Submission Guidelines

Please fill out the form below and submit:

  *   Either a four- to six-page extended abstract or a full working paper (PDF format).
  *   A short abstract of no more than 250 words.
  *   A brief CV (PDF format).

Submission deadline: July 31, 2026
Notifications of acceptance: August 5, 2026

Submit your proposal here<https://sunyatbuffalo.formstack.com/forms/annual_korean_studies_conference_call_for_papers>

Travel Support

The Asia Research Institute (ARI) at the University at Buffalo will provide up to three-nights of hotel accommodation, conference meals, and local transportation for accepted participants. In addition, ARI will provide a travel subsidy of up to $500 to participants traveling within North America and up to $800 for scholars traveling from outside North America, payable by standard procedures and regulations of the University at Buffalo and the State University of New York.

For academic questions, please contact Sojung Lim (Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Studies, University at Buffalo) at sjlim25 at buffalo.edu<mailto:sjlim25 at buffalo.edu>.

Dear list members,

 

I would like to draw your attention to a job opportunity that may be of
interest to German-speaking early-career scholars in Korean Studies,
particularly those with an interest in material culture, postcolonial museum
studies, or collections research.

 

The Lübecker Museen are currently advertising a Wissenschaftliches
Volontariat (academic traineeship) that explicitly lists knowledge of
traditional and modern Korean culture as a desirable qualification. The
position is based at their collection of some 30,000 objects from across the
globe that is actively engaged in reappraising its colonial histories,
initiating dialogues with source communities, and developing contemporary
formats for collections work, including provenance research, digitisation,
and community outreach.

 

The full job advertisement can be found here:
https://luebecker-museen.de/volo_skw

 

Please feel free to share this with anyone in your networks who might be
interested.

 

Best wishes,

Katharina Süberkrüb

 Germany
Message-ID: <0a7050bb-657e-4102-adfa-6e4458d2f0c0@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>

Dear colleagues,

Please help spread the word about this non-tenure job opening for a 
post-doc interested in examining narrative strategies of premodern 
Korean texts and willing to work on such strategies in /chemun /and 
other life-narrating genres in a collaborative/comparative setting, 
starting Oct 1, 2026. The deadline for application is July 13.

All details are found under:

https://jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/dde08f197ed9f1907448038668306b9e11904a0c0

At a glance:


  Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/x) (TV-L E13, 100%) in the CRC project
  C03 „Speaking of Life to/about the Dead: Character and Subject
  Constitution in Korean Mourning Ritual Texts of the 16th-18th Centuries“

The Collaborative Research Centre “Historical and Transcultural 
Narratology” (TRR 427), funded by the German Research Foundation, 
examines pre-modern (ancient, medieval, early modern) narratives from 
different cultural contexts with the aim of systematically and 
comparatively investigating the dynamics and functions of narratives in 
past contexts. The project, consisting of 19 PIs from 16 different 
disciplines, is based at the universities of Bochum, Bonn, and Freiburg. 
Subject to project approval.

Subproject C03 »Speaking of Life to/about the Dead« (PI: Prof. Dr. 
Marion Eggert) engages with narrativity as an essential but often 
overlooked part of premodern Korean funerary orations (chemun), i.e. 
texts addressing the dead and read out during mourning rituals. Analysis 
centers around two interrelated sets of questions: one concerning 
configuration of character and subject constitution; the other 
concerning the narrative procedures employed, such as fragmentation, 
lyricisation, and dialogue. The results will be tested against other 
contemporaneous biographical genres, aiming at a preliminary model of 
premodern Korean techniques of narrating lives. The subproject is 
methodologically based on historical philology and text hermeneutics, 
but will strive to include DH tools including AI. The successful 
candidate (m/f/x) will cooperate with the PI and with other members of 
the CRC to accomplish the subproject’s research objectives and produce 
the expected publication output.

We are looking for a scholar with a completed doctoral degree in Korean 
Studies or an adjacent field, with proficiency in the Korean language; 
sufficient reading abilities in pre-modern Korean and, especially, 
/hanmun/; proficiency in written and spoken English; and with 
philological and hermeneutical competencies.

Place of residence will have to be Bochum or nearby (except for term 
breaks).

Many thanks
Marion

Subject: [KS] Academia Publishers: Call for Publication Proposals
Message-ID: <b8a4e115-127a-4174-9f31-e12a7d8756d1@academebooks.com>

Dear Korean Studies colleagues,

I would like to share a brief call for publication proposals from 
Academia Publishers, LLC, an independent small academic publishing house 
based in Berkeley, California. Korean Studies is one of our main areas 
of interest, together with related fields in the humanities and social 
sciences.

As an independent small press, we aim to combine careful scholarly 
publishing with flexible formats, low, reasonable pricing, and highly 
efficient production workflows. Put simply, we do not want specialized 
academic books to become $200 or $300 library-only volumes, a model that 
has become common as corporate consolidation has reshaped parts of 
academic publishing, especially in Europe. Our editorial and production 
workflows are designed for a significantly shorter review and 
publication timeline than is typical at larger university presses, while 
maintaining scholarly standards appropriate to each project.

We welcome publication proposals in Korean Studies, Asian Studies, 
history, cultural studies, the humanities more broadly, as well as 
selected areas of technology studies (including computer science, 
artificial intelligence, and the socioeconomic and political 
implications of digital technologies). We are also interested in 
projects that may not fit easily into the standard 
large-university-press model, including highly specialized research 
monographs, shorter research studies and working papers, as either 
single publications or series, edited volumes, conference proceedings, 
source editions, commented translations, and other formats that serve 
scholarly communities. We welcome inventive formats: authors and editors 
are invited to propose publication models and formats that fit the 
material and the intended scholarly audience; quality and usefulness 
matter more than inherited conventions.

For authors and editors, Academia Publishers offers a publishing path 
that combines scholarly seriousness with broad accessibility, flexible 
formats, and international distribution.

We publish each title simultaneously in four formats: paperback, 
hardcover, PDF, and Kindle eBook. Publication proposals from both 
individual scholars and institutions are welcome. We currently consider 
manuscripts with English, German, or French as their main language. 
Scholars, research groups, and institutions with possible book or 
research paper projects are welcome to contact us via our contact page:

https://academebooks.com/

Please feel free to share or repost this announcement with colleagues, 
research groups, graduate students, or institutions for whom it may be 
relevant. Spread the word.


With best regards,
/
Frank Hoffmann/
Academia Publishers, LLC
Berkeley, California

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce two upcoming workshops as part of 2026 Koreanist Summer Connections, organized by the Institute for Global Humanities Research and Collaboration (IGHRC) at Korea University. These sessions offer opportunities for scholars, particularly emerging researchers, to engage in focused topical seminars and short-term intensive workshops. All sessions will be held on-site at Korea University.
★Registration closes July 8. Please register here:https://forms.gle/HY6f1PXDsZQbPdp27
1) Matters of Dining with the Eastern Barbarians: Who Gets the Bean and the Chopping Block? — From Historiography to AI
This workshop examines early Chinese ethnographic accounts of the so-called "Eastern Barbarians" (東夷) found in historical texts such as the Sanguo zhi (三國志) and Hou Hanshu (後漢書). Through close reading and discussion, participants will explore how early Chinese historiography described the societies of Northeast Asia, and how cultural practices—such as the use of ritual vessels (俎豆)—were used to mark distinctions between "civilized" and "barbarian." The title alludes to the classical phrase 俎豆之事, referring to matters of ritual practice that often function as markers of cultural hierarchy in these texts. The workshop will also compare traditional historiographical interpretation with AI-assisted translation and analysis, reflecting on new possibilities and limitations in working with early historical sources.
Facilitator: Dr. Maria (Masha) KobzevaSchedule: July 13–14, 10:30 AMLanguage: English
2) Korean Traditional Philology Workshop (한국 전통 서지학 워크숍)
This two-day intensive workshop introduces the foundational methods and materials of classical Korean philology (書誌學). Day one consists of hands-on bibliographic practice with guided instruction in core concepts and terminology, while day two features an on-site visit to the rare books collection at the Korea University Library. The workshop is designed for graduate students and advanced researchers seeking to strengthen their practical engagement with pre-modern Korean texts.
Facilitator: Dr. Johhan Noh (노요한)Schedule: July 20–21, 10:30 AMLanguage: Korean / EnglishWe look forward to your participation.

Subject: [KS] Online Workshop: An Introductory Session on the Newspaper
 Research
 Companion (NRC)
Message-ID: <deccb04749e24f81a0e1f94e009a4977@sbb.spk-berlin.de>

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to an introductory session on the Newspaper Research Companion (NRC), CrossAsia's exciting new AI-powered platform for researching digitized newspaper archives.

The Newspaper Research Companion<https://smex-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fcrossasia.org%2fnrc&umid=af5a8a03-c760-4d6b-99f4-5eb4ebe8cff9&auth=e868a51a09775a73691d9e903bc3249a2a8275ee-dab5207e77f9561b322a94f99dd3f619f0bbffe8> enables researchers to explore newspaper archives by asking direct questions rather than searching for keywords. The platform understands the intent behind the query and surfaces relevant material across multiple languages, currently covering over 37 million articles from 68 newspaper titles in Chinese, German, English, and Russian, spanning 1785 to 2024. Each result features an AI-generated summary alongside links to the original source, allowing researchers to quickly assess relevance and verify findings. The platform compiles results into a downloadable report in the user’s chosen language, including Korean. (We are currently in discussions with Korean content providers and hope to incorporate Korean newspaper archives into the Newspaper Research Companion soon.)

The NRC is a service open to everyone, though only registered users can access linked licensed materials. More information can be found here<https://smex-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fblog.crossasia.org%2fearly%2daccess%2dlaunch%2dthe%2dnewspaper%2dresearch%2dcompanion%2f&umid=af5a8a03-c760-4d6b-99f4-5eb4ebe8cff9&auth=e868a51a09775a73691d9e903bc3249a2a8275ee-f5bbbaf84aefbde84f2fb3d7ec23be61fb0e96e4>.

Session Details:

  *   Date & Time: Tuesday, July 1, 2026 | 5:00–6:00 PM (CEST)
  *   Presenters: Dr. Hou-Ieong Ho and Anna Stryjewska
  *   Meeting link: https://spk-berlin.webex.com/spk-berlin/j.php?MTID=m6909d4f3f7257fcc6129f5ec9b6871fa
  *   Registration: if you would like to participate, please contact x-asia at sbb.spk-berlin.de<mailto:x-asia at sbb.spk-berlin.de>

In this introduction, we will walk you through the key features of the NRC and demonstrate how to use it effectively for your research. We particularly encourage you to bring your own research questions, which we can test directly in the session to show how the platform might support your work.

Please note that the NRC is currently in early access as we continue to expand available materials and refine features based on user feedback. Some underlying licensing agreements are still being finalized. Your input is therefore invaluable: we invite you to participate in a brief 15-minute user interview to help shape the NRC's future (email x-asia at sbb.spk-berlin.de<mailto:x-asia at sbb.spk-berlin.de> to participate).

We look forward to seeing you there!

Best regards,
Your CrossAsia Team
