Justin Paul Barrass is a lecturer in English at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea. He has also lectured at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, also in South Korea, and Northumbria University, in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, U.K. He was educated to masters level in mathematics at the University of Wales, Bangor, specialising in topology. The use of the word university 4 times in this paragraph (5 now) makes him sound a lot cleverer than is in fact the case.

He was born in 1976 in Stockton-on-Tees, U.K., but that wasn't his fault. Realising this error, he moved to Bangor, Wales to go to university (There we go again.), since when he has also lived in Ulsan (South Korea), Kadıköy (Istanbul, Turkey) and Bundang (South Korea). He currently lives near Sungkyunkwan University Station in Suwon, South Korea.
