10-15 August 2026 at Ruhr University Bochum. Deadline for application: 31 May 2026
The Hanmun Lab and the Korean Studies department at Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) are pleased to announce its first Hanmun Summer School dedicated to pre-modern Korean language and literature. Over four days of intensive instruction, participants will explore the world of Hanmun and gain a basic knowledge of this important literary language of pre-modern Korea through engaging lectures, guided exercises, and carefully selected teaching materials. By the end of the program, students will have built a basic grammatical foundation following the "Practical Hanmun" model, developed the skills to read basic texts, and gained a richer understanding of Hanmun as a key skill for researching the Korean literary tradition.
No prior knowledge of Hanmun or Hancha is required (even though a basic knowledge of Hancha is helpful). The language of instruction is English. Students will be introduced to the e-Learning System for Hanmun at RUB and will be able to use this system to solidify their knowledge of Hanmun by self-learning after the Summer School. Access to the self-learning system is free of charge.
The Summer School will be led by an internationally experienced team of instructors: Prof. Dr. Diana Yüksel (University of Bucharest), Prof. Dr. Barbara Wall (University of Copenhagen), Prof. Dr. Felix Siegmund (Ruhr University Bochum) and Imane Massaadi (Ruhr University Bochum).
We warmly invite faculty to share this opportunity with students interested in pre-modern Korean studies.
Where: Ruhr University Bochum (Bochum, Germany).
Who: University students of all levels without or with little training in Hanmun.
When: 10-15 August 2026. There will also be a preparatory introduction to Hancha in late July for students without prior training in Hancha.
Costs: Participation in the program is free. Limited financial support for accomodation at Bochum is available; however, participants are expected to cover their own costs for transportation and meals.
Deadline for application: 31 May 2026
How to apply: Please send an email with your personal information (name, university, main subject/major, semester/years of university instruction) and a short statement of your motivation for learning Hanmun to imane.massaadielhamdi@rub.de
The Hanmun Lab project and the Summer School are funded by Volkswagen Foundation.
