About Leslie Hickman
I am a writer and graduate of Yonsei University’s Graduate School of International Studies, which is located in Seoul, South Korea. I hold an MA in Korean Studies and a BA in Anthropology, and I am preparing for Ph.D. applications in Anthropology with a geographic focus on the Korean peninsula. I worked for Yonsei’s student-run magazine as a writer, during which I wrote articles about various issues in Korea, conducted interviews, and participated in podcasts, and I currently co-host a podcast called Mix Coffee wherein a friend and I discuss Korean culture and our experiences living abroad.Leslie Hickman is a translator and writer who earned her MA in Korean Studies from Yonsei University.
