Research Interests: Dr. Nguyen-Nalpas’s research focuses on increasing refugees' and immigrants’ agency and resistance to oppressive structural forces. Her research interests are in gender studies (particularly masculinity), complex systems, political war trauma, and decolonizing healing practices. Kim is interested in the different ways in which economic and political forces shape human development. Kim’s previous research involved Afghan refugee women’s adaptation to living in the U.S. and how Vietnamese refugee mothers increased agency. As a former child refugee, Kim has particular insight into issues of identity, race, gender, class, and migration. Kim has developed and facilitated numerous workshops and lectures exploring the origins and interconnectivity of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and classism. At the core, Dr. Nguyen-Nalpas’s work is aimed at exploring issues of power.
