亚裔美国人认为自己在社会和经济上都是例外的压力包括一项不成文的任务：永远保持健康。这一点在亚裔美国人进入医学领域的期望中最为明显，他们主要是作为护理提供者，而不是那些需要护理的人。伤害教育学探索了当那些被视为模范少数民族的人以病人或医生的身份批判性地参与疾病和医学时会发生什么。
James Kyung-Jin Lee考虑了流行文化如何将亚裔美国人定位为医疗权威，以及这种种族特征意味着什么。在谈到最近关于疾病、残疾和死亡的写作趋势时，李展示了通过模范少数民族对亚裔美国人健康的投资本身是对亚裔美国人身体有病的旧种族形式的回应。此外，他还关注学者生病时会发生什么，以及疾病如何成为学者的方法论和档案。
创伤教育学还探讨了生物医学“护理”的局限性、医生牧师的兴起以及新冠病毒的影响。在他的书和这些案例研究中，李展示了这些常见（错误）概念的社会、伦理和政治后果，这些概念通常定义亚裔美国人的健康和疾病。
Pedagogies of Woundedness: Illness, Memoir, and the Ends of the Model Minority
Series: Dis/color
The pressures Asian Americans feel to be socially and economically exceptional include an unspoken mandate to always be healthy. Nowhere is this more evident than in the expectation for Asian Americans to enter the field of medicine, principally as providers of care rather than those who require care. Pedagogies of Woundedness explores what happens when those considered model minorities critically engage with illness and medicine whether as patients or physicians.
James Kyung-Jin Lee considers how popular culture often positions Asian Americans as medical authorities and what that racial characterization means. Addressing the recent trend of writing about sickness, disability, and death, Lee shows how this investment in Asian American health via the model minority is itself a response to older racial forms that characterize Asian American bodies as diseased. Moreover, he pays attention to what happens when academics get sick and how illness becomes both methodology and an archive for scholars.
Pedagogies of Woundedness also explores the limits of biomedical “care,” the rise of physician chaplaincy, and the impact of COVID. Throughout his book and these case studies, Lee shows the social, ethical, and political consequences of these common (mis)conceptions that often define Asian Americans in regard to health and illness.
