We will be kicking off with light refreshments at 4pm, a Welcome from the Korean Ambassador and the ANU Vice-Chancellor at 4.30pm, followed by the Opening Keynote - North Korea after Ukraine. presented by Professor Ruediger Frank.

On Day two - Tuesday 22 Nov - our program is cram packed with engaging panel disussions covering Korea’s relations with the world, Global North Korea, Politics in South Korea, Economy, and Culture.

We will wrap up the conference with a thought provoking Closing Keynote from renowned cultural geographer Judy Han, on ‘Queer Throughlines: Activist Lines and Uneven Geometries in South Korea and Diaspora.’
