Jang, Hayeun
장하연 張霞姸
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Busan University of Foreign Studies.
I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Linguistics at Seoul National University.
I got a Ph.D. in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Southern California.
My name is 장하연 (張霞姸).
Since 2016, I’ve used Jang, Hayeun as the official name in English by following the spelling in my passport. In the previous research records, however, different romanizations were used as my given name: Hayeon, Ha-yeon, and Hayun. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused!
