edit data

Yang Hi Choe-Wall was born in Seoul, Korea, the fourth child of a family of six children. Her father was a distinguished professor of English literature, a leading Korean intellectual and a prolific literary critic, who published 18 books and over 300 articles in three languages.
Choe-Wall grew up in Seoul during the Japanese annexation of Korea and remained in that city during the Korean War (1950–1953). She attended primary and early part of secondary schools in Seoul, where all subjects were taught in the Japanese language until 1945. Despite the many privations and upsets that befell the family during the two wars, it held together and some of Choe-Wall's siblings became senior academics both in America and France.

Despite the many privations and upsets that befell the family during the two wars, it held together and some of Choe-Wall's siblings became senior academics both in America and France.
Choe-Wall's undergraduate studies led to a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature, following which she took up an appointment with Hongik University (Seoul), as a lecturer in English language.

In September 1965, Choe-Wall moved to Australia with her young daughter (Miki Wick-Kim) and son (Dai-Kyu Kim), having accepted an appointment with The Australian National University in Canberra as librarian of the Japanese collection in the Menzies Library, the university's principal research library.

Choe-Wall received her Master of Arts degree in Asian Studies from the Australian National University in 1974. Her thesis Hanjung-nok: Memoirs of a Yi Dynasty Court Lady was later published as Memoirs of a Korean Queen.[3] In 1980 she did her Graduate Diploma in Library and Information Science at Charles Sturt University, New South Wales. Choe-Wall was awarded her PhD in Asian Studies (Sino-Korean Literature) from the Australian National University in 1985. Her PhD thesis was Hŏ Nansŏrhŏn (Heo Nanseolheon) and Her Hanshi – A study of the life and work of Hŏ Nansŏrhŏn – a late sixteenth-century Korean poet. This was published as Vision of a Phoenix [3] with the book now in its 4th edition.

In 1984 she was appointed lecturer in Korean at the Australian National University.[4] This was followed by an appointment as Fellow / Associate Professor of the Australian National University.[4][5] in 1993. She retired from the Australian National University in 1996, but as a Visiting Fellow of the University continued to work on the Encyclopaedia of Korea as Project Director and Chief Compiler until 1999.[5]

Dr Yang Hi Choe-Wall's main research interest is the Korean literature of Chosŏn (1392-1910).
