Abstract
Chapter 5 builds on the historical background, theologies, and studies on development and mental health to frame the parameters of the study. It focuses on the self reflexive and respectful posture of practical theologians conducting research, introducing feminist ethnography and the necessity for the decolonial lens when working with vulnerable communities like Korean American girls.
