Texas born and bred, Miranda New and her husband Steve moved to Korea in 2009 for a short break from life. Two sons, two dogs, and a lot of lizards later, they’ve admitted that they may never leave.

Miranda fell in love with Korea almost as soon as she got off the plane. She spent much of her life teaching other expats about the language and culture of the country. After writing her master’s thesis on the topic of second language self-identity formation, she became extremely interested in people’s self-identity and how it is influenced by their surroundings.

Miranda without Da: My Second Language Identity

When she picked my name, my mother did something amazing. She managed to pick one of the few English names that could be easily translated into a Korean name. She wasn’t thinking about Korea when she did it. I know this because she found my name in a romance novel called Amanda Miranda. I read it when I was in high school. It was decidedly not Korean.
