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. In the near future, the K-Academic Diffusion Research Center will continue to provide more developed and beneficial online educational contents through continuous cooperation and communication between Latin American countries and universities.
