[Navigating Careers: Job Market] DKSC is hosting the first professionalization workshop of the upcoming academic year! With Drs. Areum Jeong, Hieyoon Kim, and Irhe Sohn! Register: https://pdx.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsdeuprTguG9cP6JuNFLzbIRJAqNMRGbgh#/registration

How do we navigate the job market within and beyond Korean studies? What does the job market look like, and how does it operate? How can one enter, navigate, or exit the job market with different interdisciplinary backgrounds? How should we aim for different types of jobs? What are the key considerations when thinking about “good” jobs? We invite three prominent Korean studies scholars, each with varied disciplinary training and from different types of institutions, to share their insights on these often under-discussed questions. By doing so, we aim to democratize the hidden curriculum in academia, particularly within Korean studies. In this professionalization workshop, we aspire to cultivate a sense of community where we can share survival strategies and envision a more democratic academic environment.
