Hello, my name is So-Rim Lee. I am a Korea Foundation Assistant Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Pennsylvania. I am interested in how people marginalized on the basis of difference (in identity, health, appearance, and lived experience) resist the material and discursive oppression by caring for one another in radically compassionate ways. My research addresses the politics of embodiment (living in and with a body) in Korea and the Korean diaspora from the intersection of performance studies, visual and media studies, queer politics, disability justice, and feminist activisms.
