The Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan is announcing the 2026 Michigan Korean Studies Summer Institute (MiKSSI), to be held in Ann Arbor from June 28-July 3, 2026. In this one-week, residential intensive program, students will participate in collaborative learning, collective thinking, and interdisciplinary agenda-setting around a key critical issue central to Korean Studies. Two leading scholars, John Duncan (Emeritus Professor of Korean History, UCLA) and Sun Joo Kim (Harvard-Yenching Professor of Korean History, Harvard University), will be joining students in residence and directing in-person seminars for participants.
The theme of this summer will be Confucianism in Korean History.
Applications for the Institute are open to graduate students at any level, whose research concerns Korea. Preference will be given to students pursuing a doctoral degree. Applications are currently open, and can be submitted via this form. The final deadline for submissions is March 30, 2026.
More information on the Institute and application instructions can also be found on our website here.
The Summer Institute is supported by the Strategic Research Institute Program for Korean Studies of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the Korean Studies Promotion Service at the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS-2021-SRI- 2200001).
