Hosted virtually by the University of Michigan
The University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies held its annual manuscript workshop in August 2020, to offer two pre-tenure scholars in Korean Studies, preparing a book-length manuscript or other similarly substantial academic publication, with an opportunity to further develop their manuscripts for publication by offering participants the opportunity to receive constructive critical feedback on their manuscripts by senior faculty mentors.
