Dear colleagues,

From the Department of East Asian Studies - Dept. of Historical Sciences of the University of Malaga we are pleased to announce that the International Conference "Marginality, inclusion, and gender in Korea: past and present" will take place on the 12th and 13th of March at the Green Ray building of the University of Malaga.

This conference aims to analyse the relationships between the different processes of discrimination and integration of social groups within Korean society from a wide range of thematic perspectives. Twenty-two lectures on marginality, inclusion and gender issues in Korea will be given by experts in these fields from our University of Malaga, as well as other universities from different countries, such as South Korea, Japan, China, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Romania, India, Mexico and the United States. In addition, we will also be able to enjoy a performance by the company Mu Teatro directed by Professor Eun Kyung Kang and in collaboration with the School of Dramatic Art of the UMA. Please find attached the programme with more information.

We hope that this conference will be of interest to you and that we can count on your attendance.

Best regards,
