Berkeley Writers at Work: Asian American literary figure Elaine Kim

Elaine Kim, UC Berkeley professor of Asian American Studies in the Department of Ethnic Studies, will read from her work, be interviewed about her writing process, and answer questions from the audience for the Writers at Work series. Kim has been an important figure in Asian American literature and culture for over three decades and has won numerous awards. She writes on a wide range of subjects, among them identity in Asian American literature, the visual arts, race relations, Korean literature, and feminism.

The Berkeley Writers at Work series provides a forum in which campus writers can discuss all aspects of their writing, from gathering material and crafting the framework of a piece of writing, to creating a mood, editing, and revising.
