Daniel Pieper is the Korea Foundation Lecturer in Korean Studies at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. He specializes in modern Korean language and literary history. His current research focuses on the emergence of vernacular Korean as a discrete subject in the modern school, the textual differentiation process of cosmopolitan Hanmun and vernacular Korean, and the role of language ideology in directing language standardization in pre-colonial and colonial-era Korea. His most recent book is titled Redemption and Regret: Modernizing Korea in the Writings of James Scarth Gale (2021) and examines themes of vernacularization, linguistic modernity, and literary translation in the missionary’s unpublished writings.
