Biography
Dr. Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family Studies and Community Development at Towson University. Prior to joining the department, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Michigan State University involved in evaluating state-run trauma treatment for children in community settings.
His research focuses on how individuals and families are affected by various social
stressors in life (e.g., discrimination, trauma, and family conflict) and how they
utilize resources to cope with stress. A primary goal of his research is to narrow
the research-practice gap in helping individuals and families by connecting empirical
knowledge and practical applications.
