The Kim Young-Jung lectures was founded in 2011 by fellow scholars in memory of Prof. Kim Young-Jung\, who \;was a distinguished scholar and member of the SNU Department of Philosophy since 2006\, \;and had been actively engaging and contributing to the Korean academia with renowned expertise in the areas of the \;philosophy of mind \;and \;cognitive science. \;He was also a proactive faculty member\, serving as the Dean of the SNU Admissions Office. \;
\nHis unexpected loss in 2009 was grievous news for the entire SNU community. \;The Kim Young-Jung lectures was founded in 2011 by fellow scholars to commemorate Prof. Kim\, \;and has since been the biggest annual event in the Department of Philosophy\, providing chances for the students and faculty to invite and learn from world-renowned scholars.
