The work of the department’s own Dr. Susan Fernsebner was highlighted in this recent Huffington Post column discussing an upcoming conference:
She’s the author of a very fine dissertation (soon to be a book) on the history of China’s participation in World’s Fairs and smaller scale World’s Fair-like events, has blogged about the Shanghai Expo, and will be revisiting that topic in an “Asia Beyond the Headlines” essay that will be the lead article in a forum on 2010 mega-events slated to appear in the August issue of the Journal of Asian Studies, the flagship publication of the AAS.
Congratulations Dr. Fernsebner on this recognition of your work!
