The Journal of Korean Studies
The Journal of Korean Studies is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal covering Korean studies. It was established in 1969. The original series had two issues numbered Volume 1 and 2 that were edited by David Messler. A decade later, James Palais edited and published volumes 1-5 of the second series. Volumes 6-8 were edited by Mike Robinson.
In 2004 the Korean Studies Program of the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia–Pacific Research Center and editors Gi-wook Shin and John Duncan revived the journal and published volumes 9-13. In August 2008, Clark W. Sorensen became editor-in-chief. In 2011, The Journal of Korean Studies became a biannual publication. The spring issue is a regular, varied-topic issue, whereas the fall issue is a thematic issue devoted to one topic. In addition to scholarly articles, the journal publishes reviews of the latest Korea-related books.
In July 2016, the journal moved from the University of Washington to the Center for Korean Studies in the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University. Theodore Hughes is Editor-in-Chief.
