Early life and education

Career

Following his graduate studies, he taught Korean history and language at his alma mater, and in 1992 went to South Korea for work; he moved to Australia in 1996 to take up a post at the Australian National University, and moved back to Seoul to teach at Kookmin University in 2004.[3][4] Dr. Lankov has a DPRK-themed Livejournal blog[5] in Russian, where he documents aspects of life in North (and South) Korea, together with his musings and links to his publications.
