The Center for Korean Studies furthers its mission
as an academic
and research institution by providing office
space
and administrative assistance to visiting scholars.
Each year, scholars from institutions and universities
throughout the world visit the Center for periods
ranging from three to twelve months.
These visitors, including students,
scholars, and government officials, representing
every discipline of Korean studies, are drawn
to the Center for access to research facilities.
The visitors, in turn, provide a valuable resource
for the Center's faculty, students, and the Hawai'i
community as a whole.
Application Procedures for
Visiting Scholars
The Center welcomes applications from scholars
and community members seeking
to do research on Korea-related topics using
research
materials/academic exchange typically not available
at the scholar's or community member's home institution.
The Center makes its facilities available to
visiting scholars/associates by
providing shared office space and ensuring that
researchers have access to the collections of
the University of Hawai‘i's
Hamilton Library. The Center
does not provide financial assistance for visiting
scholars/associates. Our experience has shown
that visiting scholars/researchers who come to
Hawai'i to work with one of our faculty in a
Korea-related
field of study have a much higher rate of research
success and a more pleasant overall stay than
those who arrive without any prearranged contacts.
Please keep this in mind when you are making
your
research plans. Click here for
a list of our faculty and
their fields of study.
