The abstracts for the current issue are available at jks.weai.columbia.edu.
The Journal of Korean Studies (JKS) publishes articles in all disciplines and across all time periods, both historical and contemporary. The JKS is committed to articles that engage with a Korea-related topic in a substantial way, take existing scholarship (in Korean and/or other languages) into account, and explore new methodologies and theoretical frameworks that speak to readerships beyond Korean studies. We encourage transnational, interdisciplinary approaches to scholarship.
The JKS welcomes submissions year round for publication. For more information please visit jks.weai.columbia.edu and https://www.dukeupress.edu/journal-of-korean-studies/
