Popular U.S. commercial rap music videos are believed to (re)produce cultural narratives of femininity and masculinity. Yet, there is no knowledge about the relationship between consumption of idealized femininity and masculinity in rap music videos and young women's en men鈥檚 self-evaluations. Kim's PhD research aims to explore how U.S. and Dutch adolescents and emerging adults perceive ideals of gender-appropriate behavior, physical appearance, and mate desirability in commercial rap. Grounded in Social comparison theory and Self-discrepancy theory, it furthermore aims to understand whether these young people compare themselves with these ideals and how they inform their self-images. Kim is also exploring in what ways strip club dancers from the U.S. South may function as 'street A&R's' (promoters and clout boosters) in the U.S. Southern commercial rap world. Her dissertation director is Prof. Tom Ter Bogt (Utrecht 木瓜福利影视), and her second supervisor is Prof. Dionne Stephens (Florida International 木瓜福利影视).
Kim maintains a role as researcher of the Re/presenting Europe group at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 and Erasmus 木瓜福利影视 alongside Dr. Rachel Gillett of the History and Art History department.
