Ethnography of postsocialism was taught by a huge sci fi nerd, respect her enormously for putting Ursula le Guin on the course reading list.

친구는 완전 하드코어한 이론 연구했는데도… (postsocialism….)
물론 인문학 박사학위만으로 취업은 불가능하겠지만 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (친구도 일단 개발자임) 뭔가 난 내가 배운게 학계 말곤 영 쓸모없는 기술이라고 생각했는데 친구 생각은 좀 달라서 묘한 기분 됨

Writing “The Red Riviera” in 2005, Ghodsee argued something almost unsayable in the triumphalist post–Cold War moment:
