[South Korea] – Master of Arts in Asian Women’s Studies, Ewha Womans University

/0 Comments/in /by

Warm greetings from Ewha Womans University, Korea!

Ewha Womans University is a private women’s university in Seoul founded in 1886 by Mary F. Scranton under Emperor Gojong. It is the first founded university in South Korea. Currently, Ewha is the world’s largest female educational institute as well as one of the prestigious universities in South Korea.

We are pleased to inform you that the Master of Arts in Asian Women’s Studies at Ewha Womans University is now open for Universitas Gadjah Mada students.

Asian Women’s Studies (AWS) is a master’s degree program for international students offered in English. AWS seeks to train professionals and equip them with feminist knowledge and perspectives derived from and applicable to the realities faced by Asian women. As an interdisciplinary program, its faculty members come from diverse disciplines such as women’s studies, history, literature, political science, education, geography, regional studies, theology, and law.

Although the main subject of study is “Asian women,” AWS does not limit its scope within the regional boundaries of Asia. Adopting the perspective of tricontinental postcolonial theories, AWS encourages its students to reconceptualize Asia and Asian women, and, by extension, pave the way to building solidarity among women in Asia and other non-West regions.

By delving into the heterogeneity within Asia and shared commonalities across regions, students will be able to decolonize western-centered feminism and produce feminist knowledge regarding women, gender, and sexuality in nonwestern contexts.

Notes from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid :

  • Since September 2020, UAM has been operating with face-to-face classes on Campus, despite a second wave of COVID-19 across Europe. Thanks to current protocols, UAM has been running smoothly, without outbreaks or contagions caused by the classes.
  • Spain already has a vaccination plan against COVID-19 that is expected to start in January 2021. It is anticipated that by summer the entire population of Spain will be vaccinated, but by May a situation will have been reached that will allow the current restrictions to be relaxed.
