Her research examines the social impacts of US military occupation in Cold War Asia, particularly through transnational labor histories of undocumented workers on overseas bases. Current projects analyze the gendered and racialized dimensions of military capitalism.

Dr. Kim teaches courses on Korean diaspora, global feminisms, and US occupation in post-1945 Asia. She received the Judith Lee Ridge Prize from the Western Association of Women Historians for her work on military sexual economies.

Recent publications investigate the transpacific black markets that emerged during the Korean War and their lasting socioeconomic impacts on gender relations and labor patterns.
