About this event
The Centre for Korean Studies and the Centre of Islamic Studies at SOAS and KAEP (Institute of Korean Philosophy and Culture in Sungkyunkwan University) are proud to announce a collaborative international symposium on Interrogating 'K-Culture': Religion, culture and philosophy through multicultural perspectives.
The symposium aims to facilitate an exchange of knowledge and expertise about the conceptualisation and teaching of and engagement with notions of ‘Korean Studies’ that go beyond the boundaries of Area Studies. The roundtable discussion will focus, in particular, on how the field is conceptualised comparatively between Europe and Korea, and how we might try to embed foundational studies about Korean history, philosophy, religion and culture into contemporary Korean Studies courses.
Contributors will have an opportunity to present and exchange information on the resources and teaching materials they utilise in the course of their Korean Studies teaching. Also, K-Academic Expansion Center will take this opportunity to introduce its online materials to attendees.
