This talk aims to unsettle such preconceptions by exploring the post-World War Two making of varieties of untouchable groups across Asia, revealing a remarkable history of forgotten diversity.
Dr. Kim’s research and teaching focuses on the transnational politics and history of markets and commodities across Southeast and East Asia, with particular interest in the regulation of vice, illicit economies, and legacies of Empire and colonialism.
