I’m Louisa Stein, your professor for your first year seminar on Kpop & Transcultural Fandom. I’m a professor in the Film and Media Culture Department, and my teaching and research focus on audience, fandom, audience authorship, and remix culture. I’ve written a book on Millennial Fandom, and am an editor on the recently-published [A Tumblr Book](http://I%E2%80%99m%20Louisa%20Stein,%20your%20professor%20for%20FMMC%20358:%20Theories%20of%20Spectatorship,%20Audience,%20&%20Fandom.%20I%E2%80%99m%20a%20professor%20in%20the%20Film%20and%20Media%20Culture%20Department,%20and%20my%20teaching%20and%20research%20focus%20on%20audience,%20fandom,%20audience%20authorship,%20and%20remix%20culture.%20I%E2%80%99ve%20written%20a%20book%20on%20Millennial%20Fandom,%20and%20am%20an%20editor%20on%20the%20forthcoming%20A%20Tumblr%20Book.%20(In%20the%20past%20I%E2%80%99ve%20co-edited%20books%20on%20the%20BBC%E2%80%99s%20Sherlock%20and%20Teen%20TV.)%20I%20also%20make%20video%20remixes,%20or%20vids,%20myself,%20and%20I%E2%80%99m%20especially%20interested%20in%20the%20way%20fan%20video%20traditions%20can%20be%20brought%20in%20conversation%20with%20the%20evolving%20field%20of%20videographic%20criticism.%20%20If%20you%E2%80%99d%20like%20to%20know%20more%20about%20my%20work,%20take%20a%20look%20at%20my%20website%20and%20feel%20free%20to%20follow%20me%20on%20twitter%20@l_e_s./). (In the past I’ve co-edited books on the BBC’s Sherlock and Teen TV.)

I am currently co-editing a book collection on Transcultural Fan Video, and my most recent work focuses on short form fan video for the series The Untamed and on transcultural K-pop fan practices. I also make video remixes and video essays myself, and I’m especially interested in the way fan video traditions can be brought in conversation with the evolving field of videographic criticism.
