Korea
University, Seoul, South Korea
Friday, May 25th, 2018
The Korea University
Graduate Student (KUGS) Conference invites graduate students from around the
world and conducting research in Asian studies to submit abstracts for our 2018
conference. The KUGS Conference is an annual conference which aims to provide a
forum for graduate students to exchange ideas and discuss current research on
Asian studies. This conference on Korea University’s Anam campus in Seoul is an
opportunity for young scholars to present their research to both their peers
and eminent scholars. The conference will also enable participants to meet
others in their field conducting similar research, and to gain experience in
presenting their work for discussion.
The 2018 Annual
Korea University Graduate Student Conference special theme is “Overturning Assumptions
and Creating New Approaches to Asian Studies” and welcomes papers that
focus on any historical time period. Scholars with bold and different
approaches help to deepen our understanding of Asian studies and build on
already constructed ideas through new interpretations. Our 2018 conference
provides a space for young researchers studying Asian studies with innovative
ideas to push our perspectives forward.
The 2017
conference was held in conjunction with the 2017 AAS-in-ASIA Conference, one
