Congratulations, Dr. Tim Thurston!
Double congratulations to Dr. Tim Thurston, who this morning defended a groundbreaking dissertation on Tibetan-language sketch comedy in the A mdo region of China, and who in July will begin a position as postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian’s Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. Tim will be a researcher attached to the Smithsonian’s new program on cultural heritage and sustainable livelihood in ethnic Tibetan communities in China.
