The Department of Asian Languages & Literature's Prof. Heekyoung Cho, together with Hyokyoung Yi, Director of the Tateuchi East Asia Library (TEAL) and Korean Studies Librarian, recently celebrated the launch of the English Translations of Korean Literature online database.
Developed over three years (2022-2025), this database is currently the most user-friendly, extensive, and accurate database of English translations of Korean literature. It will serve as a vital tool for researchers, educators, students of Korean literature, and the broader public in locating available translations of Korean literary works, and will furthermore serve as a foundational resource for future research that incorporates translation data into further insightful analyses of literary and cultural phenomena.

The Department of Asian Languages & Literature joins the Tateuchi East Asia Library, the Simpson Center for the Humanities, and the Center for Korea Studies in congratulating Prof. Cho and Hyokyoung on their accomplishment.
