Biography
Grace Koh received her BA in Comparative Literature and French Studies at the American University of Paris, MSt in Korean Studies and DPhil in Oriental Studies (Korean Literature) at Oxford University.
She began her post at SOAS in 2002, and teaches courses on Korean literature, literary theory, and translation, and convenes the MA Korean Literature and MA Comparative Literature programmes. Her research interests include Korean and East Asian literary traditions (prose and fiction); literary and intellectual history; travel literature and cultural encounters; critical theory and comparative literature.
She is currently working towards the completion of an edited volume on encounters between Korea and the West in travel literature (1700-1910), and a critical study (monograph) and co-edited translation of the Samguk yusa.
