Nowhere is this more evident than in the expectation for Asian Americans to enter the field of medicine, principally as providers of care rather than those who require care. \u003ci\u003ePedagogies of Woundedness\u003c\/i\u003e explores what happens when those considered model minorities critically engage with illness and medicine whether as patients or physicians. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJames Kyung-Jin Lee considers how popular culture often positions Asian Americans as medical authorities and what that racial characterization means. Addressing the recent trend of writing about sickness, disability, and death, Lee shows how this investment in Asian American health via the model minority is itself a response to older racial forms that characterize Asian American bodies as diseased. Moreover, he pays attention to what happens when academics get sick and how illness becomes both methodology and an archive for scholars. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePedagogies of Woundedness\u003c\/i\u003e also explores the limits of biomedical \"care,\" the rise of physician chaplaincy, and the impact of COVID. Throughout his book and these case studies, Lee shows the social, ethical, and political consequences of these common (mis)conceptions that often define Asian Americans in regard to health and illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Kyung-Jin Lee\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor of Asian American Studies and English and Director of the Center for Medical Humanities at the University of California, Irvine.
