KSAA Workshops

POSTGRADUATE WORKSHOP, 2010

CALL for Submission of Proposal

Korean Studies Association of Australia (KSAA) is holding a research workshop for postgraduate students and early career scholars in Korean Studies in September, 2010. The workshop is sponsored by the Korea Foundation and forms part of the KSAA's ongoing relationship with the Korea Foundation, a crucial provider of scholarships in Korean Studies.

At the workshop, research students and early career researchers will present their research proposal or progress and academics in the respective field will provide constructive comments and suggestions for future research. Completed research papers may also be presented at the workshop. Among the research papers presented at the workshop, some will be selected for publication at the International Review of Korean Studies subject to the outcome of the review process. (IROKS is ranked at the category “B” in the 2009 ERA ranking of the ARC.)

All research scholars in Korean Studies (Honours students, Masters by research students, PhD students) and early career researchers who completed their PhD during the past three years are warmly invited to attend. In particular, recipients of Korea Foundation postgraduate scholarships are particularly urged to take part.
