Ignatius Suglo's academic journey began with his PhD in China Studies at SMLC. After completing his doctoral studies on knowledge production and circulation of Africa in modern Chinese media, he embarked on a new phase of his career as a Postdoctoral fellow at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania. During this time, he was actively involved in his book project, co-convened a collaborative research collective, and developed a second line of research. This fruitful period of his career will culminate in his upcoming role as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Media Studies at the University of Richmond, starting in the fall of 2024.

Eric SUEN Sen-Kit, Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Japanese Studies and China Studies (2021) will be starting his PhD studies at the History Department at Harvard University in September 2024. Eric will complete his Master of Arts (MA) in East Asian Studies at Stanford University in June 2024. He was a visiting/exchange student at Peking University, the University of Tokyo, and Kyoto University during his BA studies, and studied Korean language at Yonsei University as part of his MA studies. Eric will build upon his MA thesis, entitled “Equestrian Empire: Japan’s Horse Improvement Projects in Korea and Manchuria,” for which he consulted archival sources in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, to develop his PhD dissertation research and to further his training in Japanese and Northeast Asian history with an emphasis on migration, environment, and food.
