2nd JOINT PROGRAM IN KOREAN STUDIES UCC-UNIBO

2 Aug 2023

Dr Kevin Cawley, director of the Irish Institute of Korean Studies would like to congratulate the 10 students from Korean Studies at UCC who participated at the 2nd Joint Korean Studies Program at the University of Bologna (UNIBO), delivering outstanding papers that impressed all the academics present. The 2-day program was fully funded by an award from the Academy of Korean Studies and hosted in Bologna by Dr Marco Milani, and co-organised by Dr Kevin Cawley, UCC. We would all like to thank Dr Mary Lou Emberti Gialloreti for all her help co-ordinating the entire program and for looking after us during our stay.

UCC students presented on several different areas but had a focus on translational issues related to Korean. Some students also looked at Korean Cinema, Korea’s role in the Vietnam War and Korean Neo-Confucian philosophy. Grazie to all the students from the University of Bologna for their interesting and engaging papers on Korea – we all learned a lot from them too. Please find the program overview below.
