The Global China Research Institute at Pukyong National University, led by Director Lee Bogo, held a joint international academic conference under the theme "Youth Walking the Boundaries."
The institute announced on the 27th that, together with the Korean Association for Chinese Studies (President Park Minsu) and the Confucius Academy at Dong-A University (Director Kim Jonghyun), it co-hosted the international academic conference at the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Business Building of Pukyong National University on the 22nd.
The conference, titled "Youth Walking the Boundaries: Fluid East Asia and the Languages of the Humanities," featured a total of 56 presentations across 13 sessions.
During the first part of the event, keynote speeches were delivered by Professor Lee Ukyeon of Sogang University and Professor Park Yongjin of Jeonbuk National University. In the second part, presentations were given by Lee Bogo, Director of the Global China Research Institute, among others. Following each presentation, 39 experts, including Park Eunhye, HK Research Professor at the Global China Research Institute, engaged in discussions.
The conference saw a significant number of presentations by 16 emerging young researchers from the East Asian region, and it was evaluated as having captured the characteristics of the youth generation-a major turning point for reconciliation and prosperity in East Asia-through the language of the humanities.
Lee Bogo, Director of the Global China Research Institute, stated, "This academic conference was an important milestone in laying the foundation for leading youth issues in Korea and East Asia, particularly in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions, and for building a next-generation academic ecosystem through the research agenda of 'East Asian Youth Studies.'"
