In recent years, we have seen explosive growth in the interest in feminist perspectives in Korea, everywhere from popular culture to the academic world. The same is true for the attention toward minorities and marginalized groups! This has affected the research into Korean literature, reaping fruitful results in numerous studies that seek to improve diversity and gender equality and redress balance in writings on literature history and research methodology.In this forum, we divided the latest trends and achievements in women’s studies in the research on classic Korean literature into four topics: classic literature and women’s literature, women writers and women readers (in the Joseon period), queer literature and metaphor in classic literature, and minorities in Korean literature.In Korea, professors and graduate students from Seoul National University, Korea University, and Kangwon National University will join us to deliver timely presentations and introduce their research topics. In the meantime, they will develop teaching methods for Koreanology professors in Europe. Koreanology scholars and graduate students from European schools will also participate in the forum as presenters and discuss their achievements and translation methods! We expect the forum to be an avenue to exchange our knowledge in different disciplines in the East and the West with our European counterparts and develop an agenda on Korean studies as the center of Korean culture that attracts global attention.The primary audience of the forum will be professors, undergraduate, and graduate students majoring in Korean studies in European universities, including the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, Moscow State University in Russia, Sofia University in Bulgaria, Stockholm University in Sweden, University of Salamanca and University of Málaga in Spain, University of Vienna in Austria, Oxford University in the United Kingdom, University of Helsinki in Finland, and Paris Cité University in France. Teachers and researchers of East Asia–related studies and Korean expatriates and local residents interested in Koreanology and Korean culture are also welcome to join us.
