Greetings!
Thank you for visiting the institute.
The Institute of Body & Culture is an academic institution where scholars of various fields study the body in an interdisciplinary way. Since its establishment in 2007, we have established various activities such as regular academic conferences, project books, series books, and public lectures. As a result, the institute has been promoted to Konkuk University institute under its President’s direct support and designated as the Leading Research Center by the Ministry of Education since 2017. Such achievements would not have been possible without the vigorous intellectual curiosity and voluntary participation, free discussion, and openness of the researchers.
It is not too much to say that the body is at the center of modern society. However, it is quite difficult to tell what the body is. And there will not be any subject that the Humanities needs to popularize as much as the body. Our researchers are ready to answer questions and concerns about the body through writing, consultation, counseling, and special lectures.
The Institute of Body & Culture is open to everyone.
