Dredge Byung'chu Kang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, San Diego. Their research explores how beauty and love intersect with race, class, gender, sexuality, globalization, and structural violence in Southeast Asia, with particular focus on Thailand. Dr. Kang teaches courses on love, beauty, race, gender variance, sex work, sexual health, global health, inter-Asian/transnational Southeast Asian studies, and the Korean wave. Dr. Kang received their Ph.D. in Anthropology and MPH in Global Health from Emory University in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Their interdisciplinary training bridges anthropological theory with public health perspectives, enabling nuanced analysis of gender, sexuality, and health in transnational contexts. Central to Dr. Kang's scholarship is the theoretical concept of "genderscapes" for analyzing the evolving terrain of gender and sexuality in Thailand. Their work examines categories like tom (butch lesbians), kathoey (male-to-female transgender individuals and effeminate gay men), and the impact of Korean popular culture on Thai gender performances. A significant research strand investigates Thai middle-class gay men's preferences for "white Asians" (Northeast Asians, Sino-Thais, and Chinese diasporans), representing a shift away from Western-oriented desires toward regional Asian identities associated with light skin, economic development, and cosmopolitan modernity. Dr. Kang has documented how K-pop cover dance has become a definitive social activity among Thai sissies (effeminate gay men), creating new social arenas for gender expression through Korean female embodiment. Dr. Kang's scholarly output reveals a trajectory from specific ethnographic studies of Thai gender identities toward more expansive analyses of regional Asian identities and beauty practices. Recent publications focus on how Thai individuals engage in body modification to achieve "riap-roi" (neat, orderly, completed) aesthetics aligned with Korean and Japanese beauty standards, demonstrating how these transformations address broader moral concerns about social face and status expression beyond mere economic considerations. Dr. Kang is actively involved in community and HIV organizing with transgender women and sex workers, contributing to resources like the Asia Pacific Transgender Network and the Transgender Health Handbook. Their commitment to applied anthropology is evident in both community engagement and academic scholarship, bridging theoretical insights with practical health interventions. Dr. Kang's pedagogical research on oral examinations in large diversity classes further demonstrates their commitment to innovative teaching methods that foster concept-based learning and student engagement.
