1. 2019 AKSA Conference Registration is Open! 

Save the date for the AKSA conference which will take place on August 9 (Friday) at Hunter College in NYC. This year's theme is "Sexual Politics, Gender Justice" and we will have plenary panels on gender and sexual politics and social change, and understanding Korean society through gender lens. We accept a wider range of topics for roundtables and attendees will have opportunities for networking throughout the day and dinner. 

Conference registration can be done on AKSA home page. 

2. Membership Update

We are currently updating the list of AKSA members. Even if you are on our email list, if your affiliation has been changed, please fill out the membership form using this link. 

3. Call for Mentoring Program 

The AKSA mentoring program will serve as a “matchmaking service,” pairing graduate students with more senior scholars who can provide advice and support. We encourage individuals at various career stages to participate as either mentors or mentees (or both) in our program. Please sign up the mentoring program by using this link by May 30, 2019.

4. Call for Student Awards

The AKSA Graduate Student Paper Award is given for an outstanding graduate student paper on a topic of Korea or Koreans/Korean Diaspora (all broadly defined), and work published in an English language journal in 2018/2019, or work of publishable quality. Authors may nominate themselves, or other AKSA members may do so. The author(s) must be the member of the AKSA at the time of submission. The graduate student must be the 1st author of the paper. To nominate a paper, send (1) a PDF file of the paper, (2) a brief letter (PDF or MSWord) justifying the nomination, and (3) contact information for the nominee (including email), to each member of the selection committee.  The submission deadline is May 30, 2019.
