Public Lecture Series

Social Contributions

Seoul National University's Institute for Japanese Studies is actively promoting the opening of citizen lectures in which researchers directly participate as lecturers for local residents interested in Japan. In order to increase accessibility for local residents and provide high-quality content, we are preparing not only lectures through real-time zoom meetings, but also high-quality videos. In particular, we are responding to the need to research and develop content for public lectures that are beneficial to each other from the real-life information of both Korean and Japanese citizens, as the COVID-19 pandemic and the weakened state of Korea-Japan relations.

Local Community Public Lecture

In the fall of 2020, Seoul National University's Institute for Japanese Studies expressed its intention to open a citizen lecture at the Geumcheon-gu Office in Seoul. Based on the sympathy and full cooperation of the ward office, a total of 6 lectures were held based on the contents of the book 『Six Perspectives for Understanding Japan, a Difficult Neighbor』, jointly written by researchers at this institute. However, due to the worsening of the COVID-19 situation, all lectures were held online.
