Theodore Hughes, the Korea Foundation Associate Professor of Korean Studies in the Humanities and the Director of the Center for Korean Research at Columbia University, travelled to Seoul in July 2016 to take part in the Korea Foundation’s first-ever Korean Literature workshop for PhD students from outside of Korea.
The Korean Literature workshop, held on the occasion of the Korea Foundation’s 25th anniversary, included 23 doctoral students of Korean literature from at 11 universities around the world. During the workshop, the participants discussed the trends of research on Korean literature in various regions. Doctoral students also shared the contents of their research activities and dissertation papers, and received advice from the workshop advisers about ways to revise and improve their work.
