3rd International Conference of NextGen Korean Studies Scholars (NEKST)
May 8-9, 2015 | Ann Arbor, MI
We invite graduate students within Korean studies across the humanities and social sciences to participate in the 3rd International Conference of NextGen Korean Studies Scholars (NEKST) at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This annual conference aims to give graduate students in all academic fields an opportunity to present their research on Korea, share academic interests, as well as build a community of future Korean studies scholars. Any methodologies and disciplinary traditions are welcome for submission, as long as the proposed paper topic is specific to Korea.
Please send a 250-word or less abstract to NEKSTconference@umich.edu by January 13, 2015 and include “NEKST Conference Abstract” in the subject of the e-mail. Please indicate your full name, institution, academic discipline, contact information (e-mail and telephone), and paper title in your email or abstract. Applicants will be notified of abstract decisions in early February. If accepted, completed papers will be due by April 16. Lodging and on-site meals will be provided during the conference. Additionally, accepted speakers may apply for limited travel grants.
