Suzanne A. Kim is a Professor of Law and Judge Denny Chin Scholar at the Rutgers School of Law in Newark, NJ where she teaches courses in Family Law, Civil Procedure, and Sex Discrimination. Her scholarship examines interconnections involved in the socio-legal regulation of gender, family, sexuality, intimacy, race, ethnicity, class, culture, and work.  Her research offers meaningful insights into how the law affects and perpetuates social hierarchies and focuses on how that informs legal perception, response, and norms related to questions of social identity and status. She has been a visiting scholar at Columbia Law School's Center for Gender and Sexuality Law and also taught at Fordham Law School. From 2007 to 2009, Suzanne served as an appointed member of the New Jersey Supreme Court Committee on Minority Concerns. She is delighted to be a visiting scholar at the Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative. She looks forward to working on her current book project on experiences of same-sex couples in marriage.
