With a background in human rights work, Dr. Kim brings praxis to historical scholarship and strives to teach history in a way that is relevant to the present.  She has previously taught at Oberlin College and Boston College. Before joining the academia, she worked at MINKAHYUP Human Rights Group as the International Secretary in Seoul, South Korea.  She continues her human rights work as the Korea Country Specialist for Amnesty International USA.  Her current focus of research is North Korean social history, particularly looking at mass mobilization in everyday village life from 1945 to 1950.  She is working on a manuscript tentatively titled, "Politics of Empowerment: Everyday Life in the North Korean Revolution, 1945-1950."  Her other research interests include gender history, oral history, and social theory.
