Duration: 1.5 hours
Long-time activist and scholar Mimi Kim will provide a historical examination of the anti-domestic violence movement and its eventual reliance on carceral or pro-criminalization practices and policies. She will explore the development of the victim witness programs and the Community Coordinated Response. By focusing on this historical tale, Mimi will discuss how actions that can seem strategic and even radical can turn into something quite different than originally envisioned. Mimi will also talk about how the lessons of history can also give us guidance as to how we can move forward in our work to end violence.
Mimi Kim is long-time anti-violence advocate and the founder of two domestic violence organizations for the Korean American community. She has conducted research on the history of the anti-violence movement in her search to better understand movement roots and future trajectories. She is currently Assistant Professor of Social Work at California State University, Long Beach, and is also a leading California-based initiative to bring alternative community-based intervention and transformative justice approaches to the anti-violence and broader social justice movements.
