JooHee Kim is a Ph.D. student and Flagship Fellow, studying Contemporary American Art under the supervision of Dr. Saggese. JooHee specializes in modern and contemporary American art with a focus on the experiences of the Asian diaspora, and immigrants in relation to performance and technology. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Chicago, where her interest in museum history and theories flourished, leading her to pursue a second master’s degree in museum studies at New York University (NYU).
