Her research explores sensory studies, materiality, gender, labor, and globalized networks in the early modern Holy Roman Empire. Current projects examine: (1) small furnishings depicting non-European groups as tools for constructing European elite identity, and (2) German broadsheet production during the Thirty Years' War. Additional work includes studies on Islamic inkwells, crusader ampulla, and fountain drawings.
Kim’s publications focus on material culture analysis, with a 2020 article on a turbaned candlestick at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her research combines sensory studies, transnationalism, and global themes to reconstruct embodied experiences of artists and consumers in early modern Europe.
