Korean Object Study Workshop (KOSW), organized by CKS together with the AAS Local Arrangements Committee and the Harvard Art Museums

When? Thursday, March 16, 3:00pm-4:30pm

Where? Art Study Center, level 4, Harvard Art Museums

KOSW is a new initiative organized by the AAS’s Committee on Korean Studies (CKS) with the purpose of encouraging Asian Studies scholars to incorporate Korean visual/material culture in their teaching and research. While this event is particularly geared towards Committee on Korean Studies members, general AAS members are warmly welcome to join. Participants will be able to view a variety of objects and materials that are currently not on view in the galleries, including modern and pre-modern Korean painting, embroidery, print, photography, and ceramics. This year’s workshop will be led by Maya Stiller, currently Chair of the Committee on Korean Studies and Associate Professor of Korean Art & Visual Culture at the University of Kansas.

Participation in this workshop is free of charge. Please note that the Harvard Art Museums are waiving admission fees for all AAS registrants during the conference. Students of all ages/institutions are also always free (must show school ID). 

To participate in this workshop, please register at this Google form. The number of participants is limited to 15. Registration will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.
