The Pompeu Fabra University and Entremons Journal of World History, in association with the SOAS Center of Korean Studies are pleased to host the International Seminar of Women in Korean History in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The seminar will be held all day September 8th 2026, as an introduction of upcoming research focusing on women throughout Korean history and the humanities.
The seminar aims to showcase the research of international graduate students and early-career researchers from all disciplines whose research incorporates women in Korea related topics. The seminar will also include a roundtable discussion with Dr Antonio Doménech (University of Málaga) and Dr Barbara Wall (University of Copenhagen).

We particularly welcome applicants whose research relates to Korean history covering premodern, modern and contemporary history and society topics, with a special interest in women's history. We also accept proposals focused on the humanities, including literature.
Participants may have the opportunity to publish with the Entremons Journal of World History in the future.
