the boring homepage of t r white

Before coming to NUS I taught at Auburn University in Alabama; this is where the students play football, go to church, and drink beer, sometimes simultaneously. It's not too bad there, I guess, considering it's in the middle of nowhere and they don't even have a hockey team. But then there's no hockey team here either (ice hockey, not that girlie field hockey).  If you're interested in film courses at Auburn, check out the home page of my buddy, Assoc Prof Emmett Winn.

 Speaking of hockey, here's a picture of Steve Yzerman (and his daughter) of the 2001/2002 Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings, my hometown heroes!

I teach (mostly) Film Studies here at NUS. My research interests are animation, the American film industry, and primarily the cinema of Southeast Asia. I am currently conducting research for a book on the Malaysian film director P. Ramlee; you probably don't even know who he is, though.

Those of us who teach film here engage in quite lively debates concerning the study of cinema. Here Dr Yong Li Lan tries to convince me, using the latest critical approach, of the virtues of film adaptations of Shakespeare plays.
