Biography

Taking social ethics as a discipline, K. Christine Pae researches and writes about transnational feminist ethics of peace and war, feminist spiritual activism, U.S. overseas militarism, military prostitution, and Asian/Asian American ethics. In her ethics courses, often cross-listed with Women’s and Gender Studies and Queer Studies, students critically engage religion intersected with race, gender, sexuality, and class in analyzing power structures on various levels. A Korean native, Christine is active in transpacific political theology groups both in the U.S. and in South Korea. In her spare time, Christine loves reading and watching mystery stories, playing with her children, and cooking Korean food.
