Professor Eunsong Kim
Professor Eunsong Kim is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at Northeastern University.
She works in the areas of critical theory, cultural studies, museum studies, critical digital studies, poetics, translation, visual culture and critical race & ethnic studies. She teaches courses on “Race & AI” and workshops on experimental literature. Her academic monograph, “The Politics of Collecting: Race & the Aestheticization of Property” materializes the histories of immaterialism by examining the rise of US museums, avant-garde forms, digitization, and neoliberal aesthetics, to consider how race and property become foundational to modern artistic institutions. She is the recipient of the Ford Foundation Fellowship, a grant from the Andy Warhol Art Writers Program, and Yale’s Poynter Fellowship. In 2021 she co-founded offshoot, an arts space for transnational activist conversations.
