CANCELLED: Empires of Vice

Diana Kim, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University

Diana Kim is Assistant Professor in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and a core faculty member of the Asian Studies Program. Her scholarship is animated by concerns with how modern states develop the capacity to define people at the edges of respectable society, constructing what it means to be illicit, marginal, and deviant. She received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Chicago and held a Postdoctoral Prize Fellowship in Economics, History, and Politics at Harvard University. In addition to teaching comparative politics, public policy, and transnational histories of colonialism and empire in Southeast and East Asia, Diana co-curates the Invisible Histories project, a digital platform for researchers to share photographs in context and explore the hidden narratives behind them.
