ELIGIBILITY
Applications are invited from American educators who are professionally engaged as textbook writers and editors, and East Asia specialists in higher education who would like to include Korea in their teaching, research or writing. Priority consideration will be given to applicants who are planning to author textbooks on world history or Asian history, those who contribute articles to reference works and those who will be editors of such works.

ACTIVITIES
The program will begin in Seoul with three days of lectures and fieldtrips and continue with a seven-day docent-led tour to major points of interest throughout the southern part of the Korean peninsula. The lectures will be delivered by prominent scholars from leading Korean universities on topics such as language, art, architecture, literature, economics and the politics of a divided country. The field trips during this initial phase of the program will take participants to places of historical and cultural significance in the Seoul area, including royal palaces, the royal ancestral shrine, museums and historical districts. In the second phase of the program, the participants will travel to various points of interest throughout the southern part of the Korean peninsula on an extended docent tour.

Dr. Mark Peterson of Brigham Young University, a distinguished expert on Korean history and culture, will accompany the participants throughout the entire program. He will lecture informally on topics related to Korean history, society and literature as well as the impact of Shamanism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity on the Korean people.
