Associates

The Nam Center for Korean Studies has quickly become a hub of interdisciplinary research for faculty and researchers from a variety of disciplines at the University of Michigan who are engaged in research and/or teaching on Korea or have an interest in Korean studies. To expand this intellectual community and offer support for a regional Korean studies community, the Nam Center Associates program is designed to extend the community and network resources of the Center to non-U-M faculty and researchers working on Korea in the region and to those who have institutional ties to the University. To learn more about the program, please visit the Nam Center Associate Program page.
