On the occasion of the publication of E.J. Koh's (PhD 2023) debut novel, The Liberators, the University of Washington Magazine celebrates Koh's remarkable, award-winning achievements as an artist and scholar:
During her time as a UW graduate student, Koh published a critically acclaimed memoir, completed her novel and worked as a writer adapting the best-selling novel by Min Jin Lee, “Pachinko,” for an Apple TV+ series. “These works, combined with her dissertation, demonstrate a writer, artist and scholar able to work across genres and connect with readers on so many levels,” says [Shawn] Wong. “In my 39 years here at the UW, I’ve never encountered a Ph.D. student like E.J., or, for that matter, any student like her.”
