Lunchtime Colloquium Series 2008

The lunchtime colloquium series aims to draw together teachers, researchers and post graduate students working on Korea and to provide a forum in which they can present their research to their academic peers. The papers are expected to be finished pieces of research, such as articles due for publication, recently published materials, completed chapters of a book or thesis, and so forth. The presenter will speak their paper and then a discussant will give a brief response, followed by time for general discussion. So as to best facilitate vigorous and lively discussion, papers will be circulated in advance of the presentation and participants are strongly urged to come prepared with questions.

Where, when and how

The 2008 lunchtime colloquium series will be held once a month during the teaching period in the Coombs Extension Building, unless otherwise specified. The colloquium will start with an informal gathering from 12 noon. Speakers will present their paper from 12:30pm for approximately 40 minutes, followed by a response and question time. We encourage you to bring your own lunch. Drinks will be provided.
