2023 Presidential Citation for Meritorious Teaching
Professor Mary Shin Kim of East Asian Languages and Literatures designs courses to fulfill students’ intellectual interests and passions and provide professional training for future employment and careers. A colleague reports that “because her research and teaching are so intimately and effectively integrated, she must be one of the most prolific researchers in the department, possibly in the college.” One practice in Professor Kim’s classes is to examine programming for multilingual subtitling practices, their discursive functions and motivations, and analyze linguistic and cultural ideologies embedded in them. A colleague writes that “student evaluations of Dr. Kim’s courses are eloquent testimonials to her excellence in teaching, care for her students, and encouragement of their academic as well as personal growth. Students attest that “Dr. Kim is extremely professional and knowledgeable, the most caring professor I have met,” and: “Professor Kim treats her own learning as a lifelong process—an extremely admirable quality that I yearn to possess as I work toward becoming a professor myself.”
