Where
The second biennial Forum co-sponsored by the Institute of East Asian Studies at UC Berkeley (IEAS) and the Research Institute for Korean Studies at Korea University (RIKS) will provide East Asia scholars and interested others with the opportunity to explore the potential breadth and depth of “cross-currents” as a metaphor for the multi-directional flow of people, goods, and ideas across time and space in East Asia. In keeping with the mission of Cross-Currents: East Asian History and Culture Review, the new IEAS-RIKS online and print journal, the 2nd Forum will feature peer-reviewed presentations from a range of disciplines in cultural and historical studies.
