<p>Konkuk University (KU) Humanities Research Institute has launched a "Seoul Citizens College" for the second time following its establishment in 2014, in cooperation with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, during March 25-June 5, 2015. All courses offered at the College are free and are designed to help citizens learn about their living environment, Seoul, enhance their capability to communicate and be considerate of others, and take charge of their own lives through introspection.</p> <p>Three courses offered by Konkuk cover "the humanities of unification," "autobiography, the special stories of ordinary people," and "the archetype of Korean culture depicted in film."</p> <p>The Seoul government is currently directly operating "Seoul Citizens College" at three locations as well as providing humanities courses in connection with nine universities in Seoul including KU, Dongguk University, Ewha Womans University, Hanyang University, Korea University, Kyung Hee University, Seoul National University, SungKongHoe University, and Sungkyunkwan University. Each university offers humanities classes that reflect its areas of specialization, such as unification, human rights, Orientalism, women's studies, and architecture.</p> <p>KU Humanities Research Institute presented "the humanities of unification" as Konkuk's specialized course, a topic that has gathered attention as a new paradigm of unification since the Institute's selection as a project group for Humanities Korea (HK) by the National Research Foundation of Korea in 2009. Director Sung Min Kim and Prof. Young Kyun Park are in charge of the lecture series. The course on autobiography is conducted by Professors Jin A Chung and Jong Kun Kim of the Institute of the Humanities for Unification (IHU) at KU. Prof. Jong Kun Kim also teaches the course on "the archetype of Korean culture depicted in film" together with Prof. Myoung Hee Yi of IHU.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="ArticleFile.do?id=11626457" /></p> <p style="text-align: left;"> Source: KU Newsletter (June 2015 Issue)</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Link: <a href="../../Administration/Abroad/newsletter/june2015/research03.jsp" target="_blank">http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/june2015/research03.jsp</a></p> <p style="text-align: right;">Posted by Eun Jin Cho</p>
