Biography

After completing a BA in Korean Studies at the University of Sheffield including a year at Yonsei University in Seoul, I returned to South Korea to undertake a masters degree in modern and classical Korean literature at the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS). During my masters, I gravitated towards research on Korean poetry, particularly poetry written in older styles of Korean literary language. After 4 years based at AKS I came back to the UK to start my PhD on Sino-Korean poetry of the Enlightenment era.
