WCU Project Yeungnam University

Ki Hyun has, once again, pointed me/us in the direction of scholarship relevant to the WCU project, this time by suggesting three journal articles and a conference paper of relatively recent vintage. Although I have only read the first pages of these documents, I strongly sense their value, particularly as the project gains formation during the first half year.

Below are the bibliographic entries for the papers. Most of them should be available at well-stocked research libraries, but if anyone needs an electronic copy contact me and I will share them.
