Join us to talk with Dr. Kimberly McKee about her book, Adoption Fantasies: The Fetishization of Asian Adoptees from Girlhood to Womanhood.

This book explores how Asian women and girls, specifically Asian adoptees in the US, negotiate the sensationalism and fictional portrayal of adoption in US popular culture.

  • “Modern Family” and “Sex and the City” (and “And Just Like That…”) 
  • “Sideways”
  • Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen
  • The limits of multiculturalism 
  • How does adoption play into the fetishization of female Asian adoptees?
