We invite you to join us at our inaugural Korean Foundation-UO Pacific Northwest Korean Studies Forum. 

The Korea Foundation–UO Pacific Northwest Korean Studies Forum brings together scholars, educators, and researchers from across the Pacific Northwest to explore the past, present, and future of Korean Studies in the region. Hosted by the University of Oregon with support from the Korea Foundation, this gathering seeks to foster new connections among institutions across the Pacific Northwest while highlighting the region's longstanding intellectual, cultural, and transpacific ties to Korea. 

Through interdisciplinary flash talk presentations, collaborative conversations, and strategic planning workshops, the forum aims to strengthen regional partnerships, encourage the sharing of resources and expertise, and build a sustainable network for Korean studies. By bringing together scholars working across the humanities, social sciences, language education, and public engagement, we hope to create new opportunities for collaboration and help position the Pacific Northwest as a vibrant center for innovative Korean studies scholarship. 

We warmly welcome participants, students, and community members to join us in this collective effort to advance Korean studies and deepen understanding of Korea's place in our interconnected world. 

If you are interested in attending, we request that you register using our forum website, which also features our digital program, list of speakers, and directions to the Crater Lakes South room. Registration is free, and refreshments will be provided throughout the forum. 

Please join us Thursday mornings for a free cup of coffee, pastries, and conversation with your history department community! We’re excited to continue this tradition for our history  undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff. We hope to see you there!

The Oregon Humanities Center presents a wine chat with Professor Eleonora Redaelli.

Who actually keeps American culture alive? We tend to picture artists, scholars, and museums — but a quiet, tangled web of federal, state, and local government has shaped the country’s cultural life for decades, usually without anyone noticing. Drawing on her book, Invisible Cultural Policy in America, Professor Eleonora Redaelli will trace how this patchwork system emerged, the debates that shaped how we think about arts, humanities, and historic preservation, and what it looks like on the ground — from Oregon to Minnesota, Maryland, and New Mexico.  

Join Professor Redaelli and the Oregon Humanities Center for a thoughtful discussion of this matter. Doors open at 5 p.m. Beverages and food will be available for purchase and light refreshments will be provided. There is ample parking at Banner Bank across the street. This event is free and open to the public. Please register at ohc.oregon.edu. 

The Oregon Humanities Center hosts weekly Work-in-Progress Talks to showcase the humanities research of its many fellows. This week, Gonzalo Bustamante-Moya presents his research on "Capitalism, Indebted Subjects, and Latin American Critique(s)."

As capitalism has come to determine the organization of our societies and shared planet, humans have become distinctly capitalist beings. This project presents a history of capitalism that focuses on its effects in the ordinary existence of individuals and communities. By investigating how capitalist power governs us from within and exploring past and present efforts to resist it, this account contributes analytical and practical tools to collectively create a different form of living. 

Join us for this Work-in-Progress Talk in the OHC Conference Room (Prince Lucien Campbell Hall 159) at noon on Fridays. These events are free and open to the public. Please register for this event online at ohc.uoregon.edu.
