Professor Kim’s work centers critiques of colonialisms and racial capitalism and draws from critical digital studies, cultural studies, literary criticism and critical theory. She teaches courses on Race & Artificial Intelligence, Technology & Colonialism, Neoliberal Aesthetics, Asian American Literature, Critical Art and Culture Writing, Self-Portraiture and Photography, as well as Contemporary Poetry, and Poetry Workshop. She is the author of gospel of regicide (Noemi, 2017), and, with Sung Gi Kim, she translated Kim Eon Hee’s Have You Been Feeling Blue These Days? (Noemi, 2019). Kim’s writings have appeared in the anthologies American Poets in the 21st Century: Poetics of Social Engagement (Wesleyan University Press, 2018), edited by Claudia Rankine and Michael Dowdy, Reading Modernism with Machines: Digital Humanities and Modern Literature (Springer, 2016), and Deep Fakes (Routledge, 2022) from the Algorithm’s & Society series edited by Michael Filimowicz. Her monograph, The Politics of Collecting: Race & the Aestheticization of Property (Duke, 2024) materializes the histories of immaterialism by examining the rise of US museums, avant-garde forms, digitization, and neoliberal aesthetics, to consider how race and property become foundational to modern artistic institutions. Her forthcoming book project examines the cultural legacy of cybernetics. Professor Kim is the recipient of a Ford Foundation Fellowship, a grant from the Andy Warhol Arts Writers Program, and has been a fellow at the Research Center for Material Culture.
