This summer the Kyujanggak Institute of Korean Studies will host its 11th summer workshop for Korean Studies. The workshop aims to give graduate students in Korean Studies or Korea-related subjects the opportunity to further their understanding on research trends in various fields of Korean Studies. It will take place from June 25 to July 6, 2018 at the Kyujanggak Institute for Korean Studies.

Morning lectures will cover research methods, trends, and approaches in about 10 different fields: history, classical literature, modern literature, Gender history, old documents, religion, art, history of science, etc. There will be ample time for discussion, and on the last day students will have the opportunity to present their research project or other aspects of Korean studies that interest them. All classes and discussions will take place in Korean. In the afternoon, students can take an introductory class for reading classical Chinese texts composed in Hanmun. (In the case of students who need advanced lecture readings for writing papers, you can apply individually for consultation with some relevant professors).

In order to apply, a reference letter is required. During the summer workshop, lunches are provided at no cost at one of the campus restaurants. Also, students can obtain travel grant. (However, we do not guarantee that all applicants can receive the grants. After a predetermined review, it will decide whether to support expenses.)

To apply, please visit our website(http://icks.snu.ac.kr), and make your own ID to login(go to 'Community' -> 'Resources' -> 'how to make ID' to see instructions). Then, complete the online application with an uploaded CV, and have a reference letter emailed directly by your academic advisor to icks@snu.ac.kr. If you are planning to attend both the summer school and the hanmun workshop, you need to file only one application, but indicate in the appropriate place that you will be attending both.
