In 2014, she started a Ph.D. program in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Yale University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yale Slavic Languages and Literatures )〕 == Media == Her photograph was misappropriated by supporters of Barisan Nasional, the ruling political party of Malaysia, to depict the victim in a controversy alleging sexual misconduct by the son of Lim Guan Eng, who is one of the leaders of DAP, a Malaysian opposition party. DAP and their supporters then contacted Anya Corke to obtain an official denial that she knows Lim Guan Eng's son; she confirmed that the allegations were false, and that the photo was used without her knowledge or consent. The original photo used in this controversy was stolen from an article on the website ChessBase News, and had the chess board cropped out. 〔http://en.chessbase.com/post/first-international-carinthian-che-festival〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anya Corke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
