Associate Professor Travis L. Smith studied Sanskrit language and South Asian religions at the University of California, Berkeley and at Columbia University (Ph.D. 2007), and taught at the University of Florida before joining the SNU faculty in 2014. He teaches courses on the classical literature and thought of South Asia, as well as courses in Sanskrit language. His research interests center on the Sanskrit Purāṇas and their role in the early development of Hinduism, and the intersection between discourses of religion (dharma), power (artha) and pleasure (kāma) in early India. His forthcoming book focuses on the Kāśīkhaṇḍa, the Sanskrit literary panegyric praising the ancient pilgrimage city of Varanasi, and he is currently undertaking a manuscript study of the Kāmasūtra.

Younjung Oh received her PhD from the Department of Art History at the University of Southern California. Her dissertation examines the artistic practices of Japanese department stores, which have been obscured in the discursive realm of modern Japanese art history despite their pronounced and lasting manifestations in the praxis of modern Japanese art history. She taught at the Department of Japanese Studies, Keimyung University from 2017 to 2021, and shifted to the Department of Asian Languages and Civilizations in 2021. She is currently working on retrieving Japanese Modernity through materiality and experience of one's daily life, taking one step further from the discussions centering on state apparatuses or institutions in ideological and abstract level.
