Organization
Center for Korean Studies programs are guided by three committees composed of affiliated members of the University of Hawai‘i faculty and associated community representatives.
The Academic and Student Affairs Committee is responsible for developing balanced academic offerings related to Korea and suggesting additional programs to enhance Korean studies. The committee's activities include:
- recommending new courses and curriculum changes;
- evaluating instructional and research staff and resources;
- screening applications for new faculty and visiting faculty positions in the Center; and
- facilitating academic interchange via colloquia, academic exchanges, and organizational networks.
The Research Committee recommends general policies for individual and group research conducted under the auspices of the Center. It screens, evaluates, and makes recommendations on funding proposals for all conferences and research projects sponsored by the Center and administers the awarding of student scholarships and grants.
The Publications Committee sets the standards governing Center publications; seeks out and encourages the submission of scholarly works that meet such standards; and supervises the evaluation, editorial policy, and publication of the Center's journal, Korean Studies, a variety of books, and its newsletter published in cooperation with the Association for Asian Studies Committee on Korean Studies.
