Stella Kim

Stella Kim is a scholar of gender and the family in premodern Korea. She received her Ph.D. from the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. She is currently working on her book manuscript, tentatively titled Embodied Belongings: Gender and Reproduction in Chosŏn Korea, which employs the body as a lens to examine constructions of motherhood, maternal intimacies, and identities in the late Chosŏn period. Her next research project explores the material culture of gender and domesticity in Chosŏn Korea through a focus on objects and literary and epistemic representations of patternmaking and sewing.
