Call for Graduate Research Papers
The GW Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) is announcing a call for papers for the Graduate Student Research and Publication Workshop for 2025.
The GWIKS Graduate Student Research and Publication Workshop offers a venue for Korean studies graduate students to present and receive feedback on their ongoing work. This workshop distinguishes itself from others in that it focuses on not only providing advice to students on their research but also mentoring them through the academic publishing process. It brings together scholars of different disciplines in the field and editors of prominent journals. Since the job market is becoming more competitive and job candidates are expected to have at least one or two publications, the aim of the workshop is to help graduate students build relationships with their disciplinary peers and also prepare them early for their ongoing academic careers.
We welcome applications from Ph.D. students (with a preference for late-stage or ABD students) working on all aspects of Korea, even those that fall outside of the traditional Korean Studies disciplines of history, literature, and the social sciences. We also particularly encourage graduate students outside of the U.S. and English-language academic world to apply.
Eligibility
Applications are open to all current Ph.D. graduate students working on a Korea-related topic.
Submission Information and Deadlines
The workshop will take place VIRTUALLY on Friday, March 7, 2025.
Interested students should submit the following to gwiks@gwu.edu by January 24, 2025 at 11:59 PM:
- A paper abstract and proposal of 2-3 pages (in English)
Successful candidates will be notified in late January.
