PPP's Fridays @2: A Presentation by Ph.D. Candidate Jeffrey Gan

Join PPP's Fridays@2 speaker series for a presentation by Ph.D. candidate Jeffrey Gan on his ongoing research surrounding time, food and the performance of nostalgia in the Indonesian diaspora.

The Performance as Public Practice graduate area of the Department of Theatre and Dance celebrates its 20th anniversary with a year-long celebration of engaging the arts. Starting last spring and continuing into the fall, Performance as Public Practice Fridays@2 speaker series will feature discussions from a number of alumni and arts leaders. More celebratory events continue into the fall with an event recognizing the accomplishments of Performance as Public Practice faculty, students and alumni. 

In its first two decades, the Performance as Public Practice graduate area has contributed to the fields of theatre, dance, performance, performance studies, theatre studies, dance studies and arts leadership on an international scale by fostering citizen-artist-scholars. Graduates of the program have gone on to teach at major universities, publish books, produce new works for the stage and serve as leaders in a myriad of ways. 

Please join us on September 30 for a presentation by Ph.D. candidate Jeffrey Gan on his ongoing work surrounding time, food and the performance of nostalgia in the Indonesian diaspora. His interests include sensory ethnographic methods, tempo doeloe imaginaries, the labor economy of "ethnic" food and the racialization of Indo performers from Wieteke van Dort to Eddie Van Halen. After his presentation, fellow Ph.D. candidate Emily Green will facilitate a Q&A session related to his research.
