Rise of Korean American Studies:
15 Years after the 1992 Los Angeles Civil Unrest
Saturday, June 9, 2007
9:00 AM- 4:30 PM
Viewpoint Conference Room, Ackerman Student Union, "A" Level, UCLA Campus.

An Invitation
We would like to convene a conference on the status of Korean American Studies in order to commemorate the 1992 unrest. This national conference will be the third one commemorating the 1992 Los Angeles Civil Unrest. We propose to critically reflect on what kinds of knowledge have been produced about Korean Americans. Its main objective is to discuss the status of the field, to clarify the mission of Korean American Studies, to share our strategies, and our vision. We would also like to invite you to share your assessment of the field, strategy, or vision. In addition, we would like to come together to mourn the victims of the Virginia Tech shootings and offer condolences to their families and friends. Korean American community leaders and ordinary Korean immigrants on the street have taken it upon themselves to apologize for the actions of gunman Seung Hui Cho, citing a sense of collective guilt and shame simply by virtue of a shared ethnicity. We would like to reflect on how the Korean American community coped with the enormity of this horrific event, beyond concerns about a racial backlash.

Asian Theological Summer Institute, May 29-June 3, 2007 (Philadelphia, PA)
The Asian Theological Summer Institute (ATSI) is a program of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. ATSI is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation to encourage and promote "Asian Theological Studies" among Asians and Asian-Americans enrolled in theological education at the Ph.D and Th.D level in the United States. The Institute will function as an intensive doctoral level seminar and mentoring program. The Institute is bringing together well-known scholars and theologians to serve as instructors and mentors in themes related to Asian and Asian-American theology, hermeneutics, religious pluralism and post colonial studies.
The first ATSI is scheduled from May 29-June 3 in Philadelphia. Prof. Kwok Pui Lan, Prof. Andrew Sun Park, Prof. Eleazar Fernandez, Prof. R. S. Sugirtharajah and Prof. Paul Rajashekar will serve as instructors and mentors. The project has already received a good response from students and 15 students from diverse Asian cultural and linguistic backgrounds have been selected to participate. These doctoral students are studying in divinity schools and seminaries in the Eastern United States. More applications to participate in the program were received than anticipated. Those who could not get in this year will be invited for the second ATSI to be held in the summer of '08. A full report of the project will be shared with you later this summer. For more information you may contact Dr. Paul Rajashekar.

Symposium - Look East: Locating Asia in Asian American Studies (USC)
On April 20, 2007, the University of Southern California will host a special symposium entitled, LOOK EAST:LOCATING ASIA IN ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES.
This symposium explores the opportunity to more fully engage Asia as a site for rethinking Asian American experience and consciousness. Today's extensive global networks and relative ease of travel have fueled the growth of a surprising reverse "brain drain" as well as the formation of transnational families, expatriate communities, and new conceptions of ethnic and national identity. Put together these trends address the significance for studying Asian Americans in Asia. At the same time, cities like Tokyo, Seoul, and Beijing have become magnets for global migration, which calls for comparison between immigrants there and in America's more familiar ethnic communities. Researchers, then, have the chance shed light on Asian America through the study of comparative immigrant enclaves, reverse migration, and other processes taking place in Asia.
This is an all-day event that will feature presentations by many distinguished faculty in Asian American Studies. The event is FREE, but space is limited, so attendees must contact Wendy Cheng ASAP to reserve a space.
