Dr. Kim explores the ways in which individuals from marginalized communities understand their sense of self within contexts of oppression. As a diversity scientist, Dr. Kim builds upon and advances interdisciplinary approaches that acknowledge the systemic effects of racism, highlight the agentic nature of marginalized communities, and center the voices of these communities (e.g., critical race theory, critical adoption studies; see my papers: Kim & Lee, 2020; Lee et al., 2016; Yoo et al., 2018). Dr. Kim engages in two main lines of scholarship. First, they study identity politicization and the development of coalitions, with an interest in supporting collective action between and amongst marginalized communities. Second, they study the ways in which transnationally, transracially adopted individuals navigate the unique challenges of coming to terms with their adoption, their heritage, and their experiences of racialization.
