About
Korean Studies is a fast-growing academic field, and the time is ripe for researchers to look back on their achievements and to probe future possibilities for Korean Studies as a discipline or a research field. Thus, this Forum has three aims:
- To establish an international cooperative network among directors of the Core University Program for Korean Studies and create overseas Korean Studies infrastructure by sharing state of educational programs and research outcomes.
- To amplify the synergy among researchers of the Core University Program for Korean Studies by sharing of strategy, information, and research outcomes, and, hence, enhance the quality of Overseas Korean Studies.
- To find more sound program processes through understanding of both Korean Studies support policies and each research unit’s opportunities and constraints.
Furthermore, through this Forum, we want to secure a long-term cooperative network among the project leaders, and to share the opportunities and constraints that have emerged during the course of their projects. These will be used for a more objective evaluation process as well as to help in development planning for each project in the Core University Program. For this purpose, we plan to make conference proceedings that will consist of an analysis of each project of the Core University Program represented at the 2017 meeting. This will provide future participants with important implications of program designs and contents, hence greatly assisting in their future planning. Thus, we anticipate that each program director will provide a general overview and analysis of their respective project.
