The George Washington University Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) has announced its Korean Studies Book Manuscript Workshop for faculty working on a second book. The workshop is intended to provide support for faculty, regardless of citizenship, in the humanities and social sciences who are in the middle phase of writing a second monograph. The Institute will select ONE faculty on the basis of potential contribution to Korean studies.
The participant will attend one full-day workshop and collaborate with two invited commentators, Institute faculty, and a press editor on the conceptualization and finalization of the second scholarly monograph. GWIKS will provide roundtrip airfare, accommodations, and meals for the duration of the workshop. Limited funds are available for participants traveling from outside the United States.
The workshop will be held on October 18, 2019. Applications are due on June 15, 2019.
