How Korean adoptees struggle to find belonging | Dr. SunAh Laybourn | TEDxMemphis

Who are you? Where are you really from? Where do you belong? In this talk, Dr. Laybourn discusses the challenges she and many other Korean transnational adoptees face in a society defined by conventional notions of family, identify, and belonging. Dr. SunAh Marie Laybourn is the host of WYXR Memphis’s radio show Let’s Grab Coffee, University of Memphis sociology professor, and organizer of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Memphis. As a sociologist, her research focuses on questions of race, identity, and belonging. She is the author of Out of Place: The Lives of Korean Adoptee Immigrants (NYU Press 2024), which examines kinship, citizenship, and belonging through the case of Korean transnational transracial adoptees and citizenship rights advocacy. She is an Affiliate Faculty Member for the Center for Workplace Diversity & Inclusion, an Affiliate Faculty Member in the International and Global Studies Department, and an Academic Research Fellow of the Benjamin L. Hooks Institute for Social Change (2021-2022). She formerly served as co-lead facilitator for the National Civil Rights Museum’s Unpacking Racism for Action program. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
