Symposium: Interrogating “K-Culture” – Religion, culture and philosophy through multicultural perspectives

KAEP (Institute of Korean Philosophy and Culture in Sungkyunkwan University), the SOAS Centre for Korean Studies and the Centre of Islamic Studies at SOAS are proud to announce a collaborative international symposium on Interrogating ‘K-Culture’: Religion, culture and philosophy through multicultural perspectives.

The symposium aims to facilitate an exchange of knowledge and expertise about the conceptualisation and teaching of and engagement with notions of ‘Korean Studies’ that go beyond the boundaries of Area Studies. The roundtable discussion will focus, in particular, on how the field is conceptualised comparatively between Europe and Korea, and how we might try to embed foundational studies about Korean history, philosophy, religion and culture into contemporary Korean Studies courses.
