Judit Kroo Post Doctoral Fellow
Judit Kroo is a Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellow at Vassar College. She teaches classes on East Asian culture and Japanese. Her research focuses on how linguistic and physical embodied stylistic practices become sites of cultural production and performance. Current research projects consider the social construction of standard or desirable gendered adulthoods in Japan and Korea, alternative economic practices among younger Japanese adults and the construction of mediatized social personae.
