Kim Jean Young (김진영) is professor of Russian Literature at Yonsei University. She holds BA from Wheaton College (Mass.), MA and PhD from Yale University. The field of her specialization is Pushkin and Russian poetry, but for the last decade it has expanded to the comparative study of Russian and Korean literatures, as is demonstrated in the recent book Siberian Nostalgia: Russian Literature during the Colonial Time in Korea, 1896-1946 (시베리아의 향수: 근대 한국과 러시아 문학, 1896-1946). Her other major publication is Pushkin: Ten Ways to Read Russian Romanticism, which was selected as one of the distinguished academic books of the year 2009 by the Korean Academy of Sciences, and later translated into Russian (Petropolis, 2016). She has been a visiting scholar at various institutions, such as St. Petersburg State University, Harvard-Yenching Institute, International Christian University of Tokyo, and Wellesley College. She is currently working on a new book project concerning how Russian literature was received in modern Korea from the Liberation till postmodern era.
