Jean Kim teaches courses in Asian and Pacific American Studies and U.S.
history. She completed her Ph.D. at Cornell University in 2005 and comes to
Dartmouth with teaching experiences at Amherst College and Swarthmore College.
She received a B.A. in HIstory and Psychology from the State University of New
York at Binghamton, and has an M.S. in Social Work from he University of Texas
at Austin. She was born in Queens, New York and grew up in Texas, North
Carolina, and in Seoul, Korea, attending Department of Defense schools.
Professor Kim's research interests are in medicine, race, and migration. Her
current project, a book based on her dissertation, “Empire at the Crossroads of
Modernity,” examines the development of healthcare institutions on Hawai'i's
sugar plantations during the territorial period. By attending to local,
national, and international influences on the corporate and state management of
bodies and difference, she hopes to contribute to new ways of understanding
Hawaiian and U.S. History, as well as race relations, immigration, indigeneity,
and imperial nationalisms. Her next project focuses on racial intelligence
testing and its practical application in the organization of local and national
communities.
