Kim Price is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Urban and Community Studies. Kim joined the faculty at the University of Connecticut in the fall of 2004 after completing her doctorate in sociology at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Harvard School of Public Health. She teaches on the Greater Hartford campus.
Kim’s research addresses the intersections of gender, labor and health. Her book, Strip Club: Gender, Power and Sex Work, is under contract with New York University Press. An article based on this research was published in Gender & Society (2008). Both works explore the gendered organization of work in a New England strip club.
She has two ongoing collaborative projects. The first study provides an overview of theoretical terrain, conceptualization, and politics that shape how family violence is understood and addressed by internal medicine, gynecology, and nursing textbooks from 1995-2005. The second is an intersectional analysis of nursing assistants and job satisfaction. Using data from the National Nursing Assistants Survey, this project examines whether nursing assistants’ satisfaction varies according to work content, workplace environment, race, gender and citizenship.
