> Dear Professor Conlon,
>
> Thanks for helping inform us of the passing of Professor Haboush.
>
> As a former student who benefited from Professor Haboush?s erudition and
> generosity probably much more than she realized, I am extremely saddened
> to hear the news of her passing away. I am sure that many colleagues in
> Korean studies will have more to say about her lasting contributions to
> that field. If I may, I would like to share my own recollections as
> someone from a related but different field. While studying for my Ph.D. in
> Chinese history at Columbia in 2005, I approached Professor Haboush for
> the possibility of completing a field on Choson Korea for my comprehensive
> examination even though what I could offer as my preparation then was only
> my interest in Korean history. Professor Haboush did not turn me down due
> to her extremely busy schedule but suggested that I take one of her
> advanced undergraduate seminar as part of the preparation. Afterward, she
> patiently worked with me to get through the readings on Choson Korea and
> then the exams. Years later, the way she elegantly handled the class
> discussion and some of the topics we discussed are still fresh in my
> memory.
>
> When we came across each other at the AAS in 2009, she was really
> happy to hear that I had graduated and found a job and she also expressed
> a strong interest in my dissertation project, asking for a copy since it
> is somewhat related to her new book project. Somehow, I forgot to do that
> and now can only recall this undelivered promise to my own regret, even
> though her generously encouraging words will stay to help see my book
> project through. I have no doubt that her many other students will also
> feel this sense of loss while remembering her as an enduring model of
> intellectual and personal inspiration. My heart goes to her family,
> friends, colleagues, and other students.

>
> For two years back in the early 1980s, Professor JaHyun Kim Haboush
> taught at SUNY Albany. I was lucky enough to take both halves of the
> survey of Chinese history with her, as well as a seminar on Neo-
> Confucian thought. She was an ethusiastic and engaging lecturer and an
> outstanding teacher. Interestingly though, she could never remember
> exact dates. When queried about this, she always said that you could
> look up dates in a book; all you needed was a ballpark knowledge of
> the sequence of events -- that struck me then (and now) as an
> immensely sensible answer. In the three semesters I took her classes,
> she instilled in me an everlasting fascination with Chinese history
> and Confucianism. Since she was supposed to be teaching Chinese
> history at Albany, that is exactly what she did -- only much later on
> did I find out that she was one of America's preeminent authorities on
> Korean history.
>
> Albany was not her cup of tea -- it was a bit too small for her. Its
> biggest virtue was that it wasn't far from New York City, which is
> where she really wanted to be. She once told me that she loved big
> cities, whether it be Seoul or NYC. She was also incredibly stylish;
> everyweek it seemed that she had a new hairdo and the most fashionable
> clothes I had ever seen. Years later when she was at Columbia, I
> bumped into her at a number of AAS meetings. I thought that she would
> never remember an undergraduate student from long ago. But she did
> and each time I saw her she impressed me with her personal warmth.
>
> It truly is very sad that she is no longer with us, brightening our
> days with her humor and enlightening us with her keen understanding of
> East Asian history.

> Europe and East Asia: Debating Democracies, Identities and Futures
>
> Jointly hosted by the University of Melbourne & Deakin University
>
> The countries of the European Union (EU) are established democracies.
> However, their identities and futures remain contested, particularly given
> their current crises and difficulties. East Asia is not without its own
> challenges in terms of regional integration. Among other factors such as
> the
> economic and political diversity in the region, the antagonistic character
> of Sino-Japanese relations is often blamed for the lack of political
> integration. Southeast Asia is characterised by a number of very different
> political systems, ranging from Burma's military regime to a weakly
> consolidated democracy in Indonesia.
>
> This workshop seeks to bring together an inter-disciplinary gathering of
> scholars of European and East Asian regional integration. The workshop
> particularly seeks to examine 1) trends in debating democracies,
> identities
> and futures in Europe and East Asia 2) changing trends in democratization
> in
> the countries of East Asia; 3) the possibilities for regional
> decision-making processes to be based on democratic principles; and 4)
> whether there are useful lessons from Europe.
>
> The conference will ask a number of salient questions: does the
> transformative power of the European Union (EU), which has led to
> increased
> debate regarding concepts of 'Europeanisation' or 'European identity',
> have relevance in the East Asian context? Does EU's drive towards the
> diffusion of ideas carry analytical weight in the East Asian context? Are
> any of the East Asian countries welcoming, shaping or supporting the
> diffusion of European ideas? Are any East Asian countries seeking to
> reject them? And which ideas are being diffused?
>
> This workshop welcomes papers or panels on any of the above topics. With
> the rise of China and India, the important middle power role of Japan and
> Australia as well as the continuing importance of the USA, we also welcome
> papers or panels addressing the broader links between East Asia, Europe
> and
> the democracies, identities and futures of other relevant countries in the
> Asia-Pacific region.
>
> Paper or panel proposals: Please send a 200-word abstract with your
> biographical information to one or both of the conference conveners: Dr.
> Marshall Clark (marshall.clark@deakin.edu.au) or Assoc. Prof. Philomena
> Murray (pbmurray@unimelb.edu.au) by 15 February 2011. Given the
> publication
> possibilities with a top journal or a leading publisher, we encourage
> invited presenters and keynote speakers to submit a completed draft of
> their
> papers (up to 7,000 words) to the workshop conveners by 1 April 2011.

> Keynote speakers: Jean Monnet Lectures will be presented by Prof. Dr.
