Event Description
In order to remember the tenth anniversary of Professor JaHyun Kim Haboush’s death in 2021, the GW Institute for Korean Studies has organized a signature conference to convene scholars of Chosŏn history and literature to commemorate Haboush’s scholarship and teaching. During the past two decades, scholars inspired by Haboush’s scholarship expanded the Chosŏn field by exploring relatively understudied areas such as gender, emotions, epistolary practices, vernacular language, and military history. On the first day of the conference, scholars will present their research that reflects Haboush’s scholarship. On the second day of the conference, two roundtable discussions will focus on Haboush’s scholarship and teaching. By bringing scholars from North America, Europe, South Korea, and Taiwan, the conference also aims to revisit the state of the field and examine new approaches to researching and teaching Chosŏn Korea.
