About the workshop:
Korean Independence Movement and Europe: Comparing “small and weak” nations independence movements after the First World War
To be held in June 26-27, 2019 in Paris
This workshop aims to share and exchange perspectives between East Asian and European scholars about the “small and weak” nations issue and the Korean independence movement in Europe at the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Paris Peace Conference.
First, we intend to focus on the Korean Independence movement in Europe with subjects such as:
(1) the circumstances and process of sending delegates to the Paris Peace Conference, (2) the Korean Paris delegation and the activities of Hwang Ki-Whan, (3) the Association of Koreans in France and the role of Hong Che-Ha, (4) the French people who have supported the Korean independence movement, and (5) the English people who helped the Korean independence movement, etc..
Secondly, we would like to deal with comparisons with other non-Korean nations cases:
(1) the “small and weak” nations in the Paris peace Conference, (2) the Asian solidarity between Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese, (3) the Estonian independence movement and Korea, and (4) the Irish independence movement and Korea, and (5) the other European independence movements.
We wish to invite several scholars from Korea, France and other European countries to attend the conference as specialist of the field and to present a paper.
The application deadline is March 25, 2019.
If you are interested in presenting a paper during this workshop, please send us an abstract of about 300 words with additional bibliography references in English, Korean or French.
If you would like to participate as a specialist in one of the two round-tables about “the archives and the potentiality to discover new documents related to the Korean independence movement in Europe” or “Comparing the Korean independence movement and other independence movements”, please contact us.
