Her monograph, The Life of Madame Necker: Sin, Redemption and the Parisian Salon, appeared in 2011 with Pickering & Chatto (London, UK).

She is an editor of Aspasia, a yearbook of women's and gender history in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.

In a new book project "Health Disparities and Immigration Politics in Cold War Era Japan: The Case of Korean Diaspora [End Page 205] Communities," Kinukawa examines the politics of health as ethno-racial projects and the restorative health movements among the diaspora communities as critique of the cold war-era hetero-patriarchal neo-imperialism.
