kimcraig is a Lecturer in the MIT Women’s and Gender Studies Program, where she teaches courses on gender, sexuality, queer, and media studies. Her research explores singleness, often understood as a liminal state of adulthood, and asks what it means to experience singlehood as a lifelong status, whether by choice or circumstance. Her dissertation fieldwork examined unmarried adults in China, focusing on the markets that have emerged to address the “singleness epidemic” and the moral meanings attached to singlehood. Her work asks whether it is possible to be both unmarried and a “good” according to Confucian ideals in contemporary China. Before joining MIT, kimcraig taught at Brandeis University and Harvard University and currently teaches a course at Tufts University. She holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. in Sociocultural Anthropology from Brandeis University and Binghamton University, respectively.
