Last night I was interviewed by Chitra Aiyer, host of Asia Pacific Forum on WBAI 99.5 in New York. From their web site:
Blogging Transracial Adoption
What is the connection between experiments conducted by psychologist
Harry Harlow on monkeys and attachment in the 1950s and the
contemporary experience of transracial adoption? To answer this and
more, we turn to JAE RAN KIM, social worker, teacher, writer,
transracial adoptee and author of the popular blog, Harlow’s Monkey:
Experiencing the Social Experiment of Transracial and Transnational
Adoption.
I’m way towards the end, after Leah Sicat, Jesse Lokahi Heiwa and Ishle Park. You can find it linked from the APF website or you can link from here.
Oh, very cool. I will have to check it out seeing as I’m the “guinea pig” in the “experiment” of trans-racial adoption.
Nice work, Young Jedi. Chitra, Asian Pacific Forum and WBAI produce such fascinating and important pieces. Glad they got hip to you.
…Oh! And happy anniversary:-)
