Ewhas WCU Project Leads to Outstanding Results

Five research teams from Ewha were selected for the ‘Invitation of World-Renowned Scholars (Type 3)’ project as part of the ‘Project for Fostering a World Class University (WCU)’, announced by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology on November 9th. Moreover, a total of 8 projects were either selected or passed the first round – one team in the ‘Establishment of Majors/Departments (Type 1)’ project and two teams in the ‘Invitation of Individual Scholars (Type 2)’ project made it through the first selection process. Ewha ranked fourth in the number of teams following Seoul National University (27 teams), KAIST (10 teams), Yonsei University, and Korea University (9 teams). Furthermore, Ewha has three Nobel laureates among its invited scholars which is the biggest number among all institutions. Ewha’s ‘Invitation of World-Renowned Scholars’ project will receive around 200 million won in support each year for 3~5 years, and world-renowned scholars including three Nobel laureates (President José Ramos-Horta of East Timor, Governor Muhhamad Yunus of the Grameen Bank, and Professor Robert Grubbs of Caltech) will offer lectures to the students of Ewha and conduct joint research with the overseas scholars’ research teams. As a government-supported project to foster a research-oriented university of world levels, the WCU project will select 79 projects from 30 universities in its ‘Invitation of World-Renowned Scholars’ project with 20 billion won per year in support. The final selection will be made for the ‘Establishment of Majors/Departments’ and ‘Invitation of Individual Scholars’ projects once the first evaluation process of 35 and 32 projects each is completed. Research and lectures at Ewha are expected to reach that of international levels following its selection as a WCU project, making the university a hub for human networks connecting home and abroad.

Transcultural Studies in the Pacific Era

This conference is an attempt to acquire new perspectives on English and American literature and culture, focusing on the transcultural trend centered around the Pacific regions that clash and combine national, racial, and cultural boundaries through an academic interaction between American scholars and scholars from Asian countries, such as Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and the Philippines. This also carries the significance of forming a local academic community in the approaching Pacific era. We welcome you to our conference that will open a new era of English Literature/Culture Studies through Transcultural Studies.
