About Adhy Kim

I am a doctoral candidate in Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I work at the intersection of Asian and Asian American literary studies, with a special focus on Japan, Korea, and their diasporas. Working with Japanese, Korean, and English language sources, I study how Asia and the United States are co-constituted through the forces of empire, capitalism, and militarization, which produce transnational, translingual formations in post-1945 Asian/American fiction. My dissertation addresses how environmental crisis has become a central concern for Asian and diasporic writers already grappling with layered Japanese and U.S. imperialisms.
