Rin Huang (They/them/their)

Rin Huang (they/them) is a Cinema and Media Studies graduate student at the University of Washington with a certificate in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Studies. Their research interests lie between media studies, history of technology, and geography. They wonder how technologies, especially those related to travel, space, and mobility, participate in the contemporary world-making process and contribute to a promising/questionable globalization imagination. Special attention is paid to cartography, computational images, and transportation.

Before coming to the University of Washington, they received a B.A. in English and minor in Philosophy at Fudan University with a visiting year at Columbia University.

In their spare time, they enjoy video games from the Ska Studios and Team Cherry, New Hollywood neo-noir films, and PNW local breweries.
