This event is open to all university students in Western Australia who have interest in Korea and Korean Studies so RSVP now as places are limited.

Curtin Korea Day will feature a number of visiting speakers from current students to former graduates and visiting academics, who will focus on giving you examples of where your Korean Studies major or specialisation can take you – including study abroad opportunities. We will also hear from visiting students from Korea, and get active with lantern making using traditional Korean paper hanji, and calligraphy writing.

You will also have an opportunity to take some selfies in hanboks and to eat some amazing Korean food FOR FREE!

Take part in a competition for great prizes!

In conjunction with this event, we will be running a competition for both University and high school students to enter with separate categories for each.

9-10 February 2021

The eWorkshop is designed to provide a forum for those enrolled in a research degree course such as PhD, MPhil or MRes in Korean Studies to present their research, and receive feedback and mentoring from established international scholars in the field of Korean Studies. Postgraduate students are invited to submit proposals for presentations that draw on their dissertation. PhD students should have passed their confirmation of candidature at the time of applying.

COVID-19 has resulted in traditional face-to-face conference formats migrating online, a transition that has made online presentation skills integral to academia. As such, one aim of this year’s workshop is to provide presenters with an opportunity to develop their online presentation skills. To do so, an eWorkshop format will be utilised.
