Slaveya Minkova is a scholar with an interest in media theory and practice and joins the Department of Radio-Television-Film as a visiting assistant professor. Her research examines an emergent mode of media production associated with globalized film and television industries in Southeast Europe. She considers the fragmented and globally dispersed production practices of streaming media giants, taking a spatial and infrastructural approach to the role of film studios in the regional dynamics of media production. Her work considers the relationship between studio and city, the complex geographies and politics of transnational sets, and the material conditions of digital media labor.
