About Adhy Kim

I am a writer, teacher, and scholar. I work at the intersection of Asian and Asian American literary studies, with a focus on Korea, Japan, and their diasporas. Working with Korean, Japanese, and English language sources, I study how Asia and the United States are entangled through the forces of empire, capitalism, and militarization, which produce transnational, translingual formations in Asian/American fiction.

Adhy Kim is an assistant professor of literature and Asian American Studies at Cornell University.
