Research Interests

Dr. Kim-Bossard’s research combines the fields of educational anthropology, reconceptualist scholarship in early childhood education, and studio-based pedagogical practices borrowed from art education. Based on her research about marriage and labor immigrant families in Korea, she investigates issues of bi/multilingualism, nationality/citizenship, gender, and bi/multicultural identities in the U.S. context during an era of rampant globalization. Her research also aims to challenge popular beliefs of ‘normal’ childhoods and what a ‘normal’ child should be, based on her expertise in inclusive arts-based education and her experience working as a preschool teacher and an art teacher.
