About Me

Hi, welcome to my playground! 

​

I'm Jingyi Zhang, an ABD in the Theatre and Performance Studies PhD program at the University of Georgia.

 

My research interests lie in the history of East Asian animation, animation technology, and animation and performance. My dissertation is on the history and technology of 21st-century Chinese animation.

 

I presented at several conferences on Japanese anime and Chinese animation, including the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association and the Society of Animation Studies. My article on the industrial practice of anime is scheduled for publication in 2027.

 

I'm also a CG animation practitioner who received my M.F.A. in Dramatic Media at the University of Georgia. If you want to stop by at my YouTube channel to see more creative works, come and say hi here.
