IKS hosted the second annual GW-IU Undergraduate Research Exchange Conference online with the George Washington University Institute for Korean Studies on May 13, 2020. While we couldn’t meet in person, it was a great opportunity for the students to share their research. Five students from IU and five students from GW worked with faculty throughout the academic year to produce a research paper and presentation on a Korea-related topic.
The presentations and discussions can be found on IKS’s YouTube page. Click the links below to see them:
