Jim Lee
Jim Lee is Professor and Chair of the Department of Asian American Studies at the University of California, Irvine. He is the author of 2 books: Urban Triage: Race and the Fictions of Multiculturalism (2004) and Pedagogies of Woundedness: Illness, Memoir, and the Ends of the Model Minority (2022), which won Honorable Mention in the Literary Studies category from the Association for Asian American Studies in 2024 and was a Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2022. Most recently, Jim has been trying to reimagine the college syllabus and classroom beyond its ableist (and racist and sexist) roots toward learning communities of care. As LT reminds us in her book, Jim is indeed Team Pacey, but he is also, controversially, Team Buffy/Spike.
