Zoran Lee Pecic

Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture at NTNU

I work on queer studies, cinema and East Asian popular culture. I’m interested in how films and other cultural texts shape ideas about identity, migration, ecology and social change, especially in East Asia and the Global South.
