Infusing Korean Studies in American Undergraduate Higher Education
Dates: July 8 - July 12, 2024
Format: Residential Summer Institute
Location: East-West Center, Honolulu, Hawai‘i
Application Deadline: March 28, 2024 5:00pm HST
Directors: Peter D. Hershock (East-West Center) and Cheehyung Harrison Kim (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Department of History)
Infusing Korean Studies in American Undergraduate Higher Education is a one-week residential Institute for college and university faculty that will be hosted on the East-West Center campus in Honolulu. The Institute offers a multidisciplinary introduction to modern Korean culture and society and will equip participating faculty teams & individuals to develop curriculum and program development plans for expanding undergraduate Korean studies offerings on their campuses.
The Institute will include lecture and discussion sessions led by Korean studies experts in both humanities and social science disciplines; pedagogical sessions aimed at developing strategies for infusing Institute content into existing core courses; and a pedagogy-focused film viewing and discussion.
The fifteen selected participants will receive studio room lodging reserved in the East-West Center faculty guesthouse, Lincoln Hall, for the dates of the Institute (check-in Sunday, July 7 to check-out Saturday, July 13).
Plans should be made to arrive on Sunday, July 7 and depart on Saturday, July 13, 2024. Participants are required to attend all institute sessions. We will end with an optional final dinner on Friday, July 12th, so an evening departure is possible if necessary. Participants wanting to arrive early/extend their stay can do so at their own expense on a space available basis at Lincoln Hall, or off campus.
All participants are responsible for all other costs during the Institute (July 8 - July 12, 2024), including travel, meals, and incidentals not part of the Institute, and local ground transportation.
Preparation
Prior to the institute, participants will receive a reading list to establish a shared foundational knowledge base and will be provided with a bibliography of works to consult for further reading. Each of the presenting faculty will also assign required and optional readings for their individual sessions. These will be made available to the participants through a password protected file sharing system prior to the Institute.
Outcomes
Participant teams will develop a preliminary strategic plan for developing Korean studies on their campuses, and all participants will produce an individual curriculum development plan.
The project is also expected to result in a paper, to be published in the East-West Center’s Occasional Paper Series, that will bridge the gap between academic specialist research and the needs of both undergraduate educators and an informed general public.
Infusing Korean Studies in American Undergraduate Higher Education has been made possible by a grant from the Academy of Korean Studies.
