The Korean section of the Department of Asian Studies at Palacký University offers again a lecture series (“carousel lecture”) in the summer semester of 2020. Seven internationally recognized scholars and distinguished experts in Korea-related humanities, cultural studies, or cultural anthropology present research-based teaching and inquire into special aspects of premodern and early modern Korea.
This third carousel lecture is, as the two previous ones, part of a “SEED” project for Korean Studies at Palacký University, funded generously by the Korean Studies Promotion Service, Academy of Korean Studies.
In one case, invitation was possible thanks to the European Program for the Exchange of Lecturers, administrated by the Association of Korean Studies in Europe and sponsored by the Korea Foundation.
