Collaborative research laboratories (Korea Research Collaboratories) are intensive research workshops designed to foster communication and advancement around a key theme in modern Korean society and scholarship. Leading researchers are invited to participate in these 1-2 day events. The sessions are open to wider audiences. Each workshop is led by a core staff member of the Centre and focussed around their particular expertise in line with the key overarching themes of the Centre. Our first collaboratory was on the theme of "Emotions" and our second Collaboratory took place in November 2023 on the topic of "Korean and Japanese Male Beauty Aesthetics".
These workshops are designed to focus on core skills development among the Honours, postgraduate and early career school community. Over two days, students come together to discuss critical methodologies and common research techniques in the context of their research. Each workshop is led by a core staff member of the Centre and focused around their particular area of expertise.
