Eliza Rose
Assistant Professor & Laszlo Birinyi Sr. Fellow of Central European Studies
Intellectual Biography
I research the visual cultures and literature of Poland and East Central Europe with a focus on science fiction. My work considers how changing paradigms in technology, science and industry altered how people lived together, worked together, and visualized their futures together. My current book project is a cultural history of art festivals and amateur film clubs in the industrial workplace in late-socialist Poland. I am an author of science fiction, and my stories can be found in venues such as Interzone and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
