Application Deadline is March 15th, 2023!

The George Washington University Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) is pleased to announce the Korean Studies Book Manuscript Workshop for scholars at any stage of their careers working on their monograph. This workshop is intended to provide support for scholars, regardless of citizenship, in the social sciences who are in the middle phase of writing their monograph. GWIKS will select one (1) scholar on the basis of their potential contribution to Korean Studies.

The participant will attend one half-day workshop and collaborate with three commentators on the conceptualization and finalization of the monograph. The workshop will be held virtually on Zoom.

Applications will be open until Wednesday, March 15, 2023. Once selected, the author should send in their manuscript by Friday, June 23, 2023 in order to ensure enough time for the commentators to review the manuscript and make comments accordingly. The workshop will be held on Friday, September 22, 2023.
