Stella Soojin Kim is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish at Emory University whose feminist scholarship examines intersectional representations in global cinema. She analyzes gender, race, and sexuality in Spanish, Korean, and Italian films through queer and antiracist frameworks. Her JCMS-published article deconstructs cosmetic surgery culture in Kim Ki-duk’s Sigan, while current research explores intersexuality in Lucía Puenzo’s XXY.

With 14 years' teaching experience, she offers courses on Spanish film, 'Feminism and Film,' and 'Contemporary Korean Cinema.'
