Public talks on Taiwan, China, and transnational visual cultures in diasporic and missionary histories – coming up next week at St. Louis University (March 3) and Elon University (March 5)! @woodpeckerowl.bsky.social

Unfortunately, this event is in-person only; there are some copyright restrictions on the films I'm screening that prevent them from being shared online. But I'd be delighted to chat more about them with anyone interested!

Just joined and glad to reconnect with friends and colleagues here! To kick things off, I'm excited to share my upcoming 2/13 talk and screening of rare postwar China films at Stanford, with comments by Glenn Tiffert @tiffert.bsky.social
