Hi everyone, 
(posted to several lists)

Prof. Heisook Kim, the organizer of the Int'l Assoc of Women Philosophers meeting this summer in Seoul, asked me to send on her letter that encourages you to participate. They've extended the deadline until April 30, support grad students' accommodation/meals, and have planned a great program.  Ewha Womans Univ, the location of the conference, is supposed to be in a very nice location in central Seoul. I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks.
