Jung-il Doh (Korean: 도정일; Hanja: 都正一; born 1941) is a South Korean scholar in humanities and English literature, a literary and social critic, and an educationist. He was a professor in the English department at Kyung Hee University where he taught literary theories and cultural studies. As a social critic, he has published essays and books criticizing on South Korea’s rapid turn toward an extreme consumerist society in the 1980s. Doh has also written about the importance of South Korea’s educational reform to cultivate responsible citizens of a democratic society. In 2001, Doh became the Executive Director of the Book Culture Foundation (책읽는사회문화재단). In 2011, he helped found the Humanitas College (후마니타스칼리지) at Kyung Hee University, where he advocated the necessity of humanities education in training students to become responsible members of the civil society. In 2016, Doh had been accused of having falsified his PhD degree obtained at University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1983. Doh admitted that he does not have a degree in English received from the university, but explained that this was due to his failure to submit the final copy of his dissertation after passing the PhD defense.
