SNU Contemporary Korean Studies will host the “2026 Seoul National University International Conference on Contemporary Korean Studies” for two days, from Friday, August 21, 2026, to Saturday, August 22, 2026, on the second floor of the Asia Center(Building 101).
Now in its third year, the conference explores Korea not simply as an empirical case, but as a methodological and theoretical lens for rethinking wider social, political, economic, cultural, and historical questions. The conference examines how Korean experiences can generate new concepts, comparisons, and critiques for rethinking modernity, democracy, culture, and global knowledge production. It will also provide a platform for domestic and international researchers to build networks of academic exchange and collaboration. We warmly invite all members of the university community to participate.
Date: August 21(Fri)-August 22(Sat), 2026.
Venue: Seoul National University Asia Center (Building 101), 2nd Floor
