Workshop
Current Status of Korean Studies in Latin America
On November 29th, the K-Academic Diffusion Research Center successfully held the 6th workshop of the 4th year with regional experts to discuss the current status and spread of Korean studies in Latin America. Starting with the presentation of Professor Min Won Jung, who has taught Korean Studies in Chile for more than 20 years, this workshop serves as a place to learn in detail how related departments, such as the Academy of Korean Studies, the Korean Foundation, the King Sejong Institute, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, have cooperated and communicated for Latin America. In particular, all participants listened to the current status of Korean Studies at the Catholic University of Chile and her experiences in Chile. Lastly, it was meaningful to share opinions by talking about the possibilities and limitations of Korean studies altogether. In addition, through in-depth discussions between Professor Kim Young Chul and co-researcher Bae Jin Sook, all participants agreed that it is imperative to seize the opportunity of spreading Korean studies in various countries and universities such as Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia In terms of newly exploring the connection between Korean studies.

Professor Kim Soo Won, a co-researcher at the K-Academic Diffusion Research Center under the Inha Center for International Studies (ICIS), introduced the overall K Academic Diffusion Project and its research center on August 22 at an international academic conference with Pretoria University in South Africa. It was meaningful for us to promote the K-Academic Diffusion Project to a number of scholars who focus on Asia-Africa relations. In addition, we discussed various ways of cooperating between the centers with Professor Alf Gunval Nilsen, director of the Asia Center at Pretoria University, and Professor Kim Tae-kyun, director of the Asia-Africa Center at Seoul National University. Both centers agreed to strengthen cooperation, including the signing of MoU by conducting continuous discussions with Pretoria University, called one of the prestigious universities in South Africa and the hub of African education. It seems symbolic for Pretoria University to become the first African country in carrying out the Korean studies diffusion activities effectively.
