Korean studies or Koreanology is an academic discipline, focusing on the study of Korea including the Republic of Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and diasporic Korean populations. Areas commonly included under this rubric include Korean history, Korean literature, Korean art, Korean dance, Korean language and linguistics, Korean sociology and anthropology, Korean politics, Korean economics, Korean folklore, Korean ethnomusicology and increasingly study of Korean popular culture. It may be compared to other area studies disciplines, such as American studies and Chinese studies. Korean studies is sometimes included within a broader regional area of focus including: "East Asian studies" or "Asian studies." The term Korean studies first began to be used in the 1940s, but did not attain widespread currency until South Korea rose to economic prominence in the 1970s. In 1991, the South Korean government established the Korea Foundation to promote Korean studies around the world. Korean studies was originally an area of study conceived of and defined by non-Koreans. Korean scholars of Korea tend to see themselves as linguists, as sociologists, as historians, not as "Koreanists" unless they have received at least some of their education outside Korea and are academically active (for example publishing and attending conferences)in languages other than Korean (most Korean studies publications are in English but there is also a significant amount of Korean Studies activity in other European languages), or work outside Korean academia. In the mid-2000s Korean universities pushing for more classes taught in English began to hire foreign-trained Koreanists of Korean and non-Korean origin to teach classes, often geared towards foreigners in Korean graduate schools. There are now graduate school programs in Korean Studies (mostly active at the MA level) in most of the major Korean universities. BA programs in Korean Studies have now been opened at two Korean universities. The BA programs are distinctive in that they have few foreign students. * The Academy of Korean Studies (한국학중앙연구원, AKS) est.1978 * The Korea Research Foundation (한국학술진흥재단, KRF) est.1981 * The Korea Foundation (한국국제교류재단) est.1991. * The Advanced Center for Korean Studies (한국국학진흥원, ACKS) est.1995. ==Notable centers of Korean studies outside Korea== A-Z order *Beijing Foreign Studies University — School of Asian and African Studies *University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada - (Centre for Korean Studies ) *University of California, Berkeley — (Center for Korean Studies ) *University of California, Los Angeles — (Center for Korean Studies ) *University of Chicago — (Center for East Asian Studies ) *Columbia University — (Center for Korean Research ) *Harvard University — (Korea Institute ) *University of Hawaii — (Center for Korean Studies ) *Indiana University - (East Asian Studies Center ) *Indiana University Bloomington - (Center for Korean Studies ) *University of Leeds - (Korea Research Hub, UK ), Leeds *University of London School of Oriental and African Studies — (Centre of Korean Studies ) *Far Eastern Federal University — (Oriental Institute - School of Regional and International Studies ) *University of Michigan — (Nam Center for Korean Studies ) *National Museum of Ethnology (Japan) *Ohio State University *University of Pennsylvania — (Center for East Asian Studies ) *University of Sheffield — School of East Asian Studies *Tenri University — Department of Foreign Languages *University of Tokyo — (Department of Korean Studies ) *University of Toronto — (Centre for the Study of Korea ) *Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City — (Faculty of Korean Studies, University of Social Sciences and Humanities ) *University of Washington - (Korea Studies Program, East Asia Studies, Henry M.
