International Conference on Urban Studies 2021 "Urban Kaleidoscope of North Korea"
26 May 2021 – Jungsan Hall, IFES, Seoul Korea/Online
We are very pleased to announce that the Institute for Far Eastern Studies (IFES) at Kyungnam University will host a one-day International Conference entitled “Urban kaleidoscope of North Korea” on May 26th, 2021 in Seoul, the Republic of Korea. This conference was organized by the MOU-IFES academic exchange fellowship program.
The IFES was founded in 1972 as one of the leading research institutions, focusing on issues concerning North Korea, the Unification of Korea, and East Asian Affairs. Later in 1997, the University of North Korean Studies was established in Seoul with the support of the IFES.
This conference is designed to provide an opportunity for scholars in North Korean Urban Studies around the globe to share their experience and present the results of their research. Due to the restrictions connected with the spread of COVID-19, the conference will be held both off and online simultaneously. Those scholars residing in Korea will be able to attend the conference venue in person, while those based outside the country will be connected via Zoom.
