The USC Korean Studies Institute will host the Annual Pacific Graduate Conference in Korean Studies on October 1-2. 2026. The conference gathers a multidisciplinary community of graduate students whose research projects significantly engage Korean society and culture across the periods. It provides a platform for emerging scholars to present their work-in-progress, receive feedback from faculty and peers, and participate in interdisciplinary discussions within a supportive environment. The papers reflect research agendas in diverse fields in the humanities and social sciences, related to Korea and East Asia.
KSI provides grants to doctoral students for field research work in Korea. This grant may be used to visit archives, critical libraries, or other institutions and carry out interviews or surveys.
