Research interests
Kim's current work is examining the lived experiences of rape culture in the everyday lives of Northern Irish women from two contrasting generations, those lived through The Troubles and those who were born after the ceasefire. This project aims to incorporate different areas of gender theory such as the continuum of sexual violence, slow violence, silences, heterosexism, masculinities/femininities and the specter of violence.
