Korean Anthropology Review (KAR) (ISSN 2508-8297 print/ISSN 2671-7123 online) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal published twice a year by the Department of Anthropology of Seoul National University (SNU). KAR’s primary objective is to foster dialogue between the intellectual traditions of Korean anthropology and those of global and regional anthropologies. By doing so, the journal seeks to contribute to the global commons of anthropological knowledge, offering both theoretical and ethnographic insights from the Korean context that have broader implications for the field. The journal offers a forum for the exchange of ideas from both established scholars in the field and junior scholars. Please note that the research does not have to be about Korea exclusively, nor does it need to be strictly anthropology—research from other ethnographic traditions or related methodologies are also welcome.
The journal is currently seeking articles for vol. 10, to be published in the first half of 2026.
We also have room for 1-2 more articles in the late 2025 issue, vol. 9. However, due to the timeline articles would need to be submitted no later than Sept. 30, 2025. 
Korean Anthropology Review (KAR) welcomes submissions from various fields of Korean anthropology, Korea-focused submissions from anthropology-adjacent disciplines and interdisciplinary work relevant to anthropology, and from anthropologists and anthropology-adjacent scholars working in Korea.
  • Full length papers (6,000-10,000 words). Full length papers will go out for peer review.
  • Thought pieces (3000-5000 words) These submissions discuss contemporary issues and events from established scholars in their field, or from junior scholars seeking an audience for cutting-edge, in-progress research (for example, in “notes from the field”).
  • Submissions must represent original work not already published or in press.
  • Ideas for special issues (3-4 articles) are also encouraged and welcome.
For more detailed submission guidelines or to ask questions, please contact Dr. Bonnie Tilland, KAR’s co-editor responsible for original research articles, at bonnie.tilland@gmail.com and cc at kanthroreview@snu.ac.kr.
