Academic career edit

Elaine Kim was one of the founders of the Asian American Studies Program of Ethnic Studies in 1969 and became a ladder faculty member in 1974.[6] In addition to teaching, Kim served UC Berkeley as a Faculty Assistant to the Chancellor for the Status of Women, Associate Dean of the Graduate Division, and Assistant Dean in the College of Letters and Science.[6]

A pioneering scholar of Asian American Studies, Kim's research areas included Asian American literature, culture, and feminism,[3] and she was often a source for commentary on contemporary issues related to the Asian American community, such as affirmative action,[7] anti-Asian violence,[8] and nativist and anti-immigrant rhetoric.[9] Kim also studied the impact of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and civil disturbances on the Korean American community in light of the purported Korean cultural trait called han.[10][11] Kim has lectured and presented keynote addresses and papers in many US universities as well as at various conferences and universities in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, France, Germany, Italy, and Trinidad. Selected academic publications include:

  • Asian American Literature: An Introduction to the Writings and Their Social Context, Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1982[12]
  • East to America: Korean American Life Stories (co-edited with Eui-Young Yu), New York: The New Press, 1996[13]

  • Fresh Talk/Daring Gazes: Issues in Asian American Visual Art, University of California Press, 2003[14]
  • Echoes Upon Echoes: New Korean American Writing, Temple University Press, 2003

Community activism edit

Kim's decades of community activism include founding and leading several Asian American community organizations in the Bay Area. Kim helped start the Korean Community Center (now the Korean Community Center of the East Bay) in 1977.[2] The Korean Community Center of the East Bay provides legal assistance for immigration issues and social services for the elderly.[15][16]

Kim co-founded Asian Women United of California in 1976.[17] Through her work with AWU, Kim wrote, produced, and directed documentaries about Asian American women such as Labor Women in 2002 and Slaying the Dragon: Reloaded in 2011.[18][19] Kim was also a co-producer of the 1993 documentary, Sa-I-Gu: From Korean Women's Perspectives,[20] which recounts the 1992 Los Angeles uprisings and their impact on the Korean American community.[21][22]

In 1985, Kim secured the initial funding for the Asian Immigrant Women Advocates (AIWA), an Oakland-based organization to serve immigrant women garment and hotel workers.
