2025 Koreanist Summer Connections
An academic exchange initiative organized by the Institute for Global Humanities Research and Collaboration (IGHRC) at Korea University.
Koreanist Summer Connections is designed to support scholars visiting or residing in Korea during the summer season by offering a flexible and open environment for intellectual engagement and community-building. Moving beyond the limitations of one-off conferences and formal workshops, this initiative seeks to foster an ongoing, autonomous platform where researchers in Korean Studies—especially those working in the premodern field—can meet, exchange ideas, and expand their networks on their own terms. Through this effort, IGHRC hopes to establish itself as a global hub for Korean Studies exchange.
We warmly welcome participation from graduate students, emerging scholars, independent researchers, and faculty members from both domestic and international institutions. The program is open to scholars in Korean studies, with a special emphasis on those visiting or staying in Korea during the summer months.
Connect & Explore offers opportunities for scholars to participate in reading groups, focused topical seminars, and short-term intensive workshops. Emerging scholars are especially encouraged to participate.
IGHRC will also host Open-Door Seminars, temporarily opening its internal sessions to outside participants.
Program Information & Registration can be found at the link above.
