Kari Smalkoski is doctoral student in the department of Family Social Science and a Graduate Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Minnesota. Her dissertation project, "Performing Masculinities: The Impact of Cultural Practices, Racialization and Space on Hmong Male Youth and their Families" responds to questions located in larger theoretical conversations about Hmong male youths' embodied cultural practices connected to and influenced by their families, neighborhoods and peers. In 2012, Smalkoski will collect comparative data in Northern Thailand. Part of this fieldwork will include travel to Wat Tham Krabok in Saraburi Province from which the large group of Hmong families in her study emigrated.
