The Lab
Events
BDSL’s seminars, symposia, and workshops are working settings for research in formation. Cross-disciplinary exchange allows historical and humanistic questions to be tested alongside the technical knowledge needed to investigate them. Several lines of research now pursued at BDSL initially developed in these conversations.
Advanced Topics in Digital Korean Studies
A single two-part event held in Seoul and Copenhagen: an international symposium and project incubation program at Seoul National University, 19–29 May 2022, and a publication workshop with debut presentations at the University of Copenhagen, 26–28 June 2022.
