The Critical Global Studies Institute at Sogang University, in collaboration with the Digital History Research Institute at Sogang University and the Department of History at Sogang University, is pleased to host the international forum “2026 HFA” to support the growth of emerging scholars and strengthen international research networks.
Building on the achievements of the first international forum, “Trans-Asia, Trans-Disciplines” held in 2024, and the 2025 forum held at Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan, this year’s forum will take place at Sogang University under the theme “Contested Modernities: Bodies, Care, and Marginality in Twentieth-Century Asia.”
Through this forum, we aim to examine the issues of bodies, care, and marginality in twentieth-century Asia from multiple perspectives, while expanding interdisciplinary and international exchanges among scholars from diverse countries and academic fields. The forum seeks to provide a space for dialogue and collaboration in which emerging researchers can develop into outstanding mid-career scholars.
We warmly invite researchers and all those interested to participate and share in this meaningful academic exchange.
