Firstly as the new President, on behalf of the new Executive Committee I would like to thank the previous committee members Dr Changzoo Song and Duk-soo Park for their work for KSAA. In particular, we thank our outgoing President Hyaeweol Choi for her leadership and support of our members in the past two years. This year promises to be another exciting one. In July, KSAA partnered for the first time with the Asian Studies Association of Australasia to support their biennial conference held at the University of Sydney (ASAA 2018). This year KSAA had the pleasure of hosting Prof Andrew Eungi Kim from Korea University as a Keynote Speaker in the Regional Keynote stream for Korean Studies. It was also very good to see Korean Studies well represented in our main regional conference. In November this year, UWA will host the next KSAA Postgraduate Workshop, which this time will focus on supporting each student’s thesis plans and ways to enhance their employability after graduation. I am also pleased to announce that the next KSAA Biennial Conference will be held at UWA in Perth from 4th-6th December 2019. A call for papers and a link to the Conference website will be circulated shortly.
