MU’s Institute for Korean Studies (IKS) is hosting its inaugural Symposium. Every year, the IKS Symposium showcases original, cutting-edge research on Korea from MU’s undergraduate and graduate community, covering a wide range of fields from politics and economics to history and education. The goal of the Symposium is to bring together members of the MU academic community, distinguished external scholars, and members of the public for a diverse and evidence-based discussion on important issues related to Korea and its place in the world.
