The East Asian Studies Center is pleased to welcome Dr. Julia Keblinska to campus for the 2021–2022 academic year. Dr. Keblinska will be a postdoctoral fellow, working with EASC, the Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies, and the Center for Historical Research. This post-doc position was generously funded by the Global Arts and Humanities Discovery Theme, and will allow Keblinska to teach two classes next year while revising her dissertation, New Era, New Media: The Postsocialist Chinese Media Ecology, for publication.

Keblinska recently received her PhD from UC Berkeley’s Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. Her work is on modern Chinese visual culture, with a focus on new and old media in the post-Mao “New Era.” She will be teaching an undergraduate course in the Fall in International Studies, “Aesthetics of the Cold War: East Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Cultures of the Cold War,” and a graduate seminar in the Spring through DEALL, “The Golden Age of Dead Media: Modern China, Nostalgia, and the Futures of Media’s Pasts.”
