Bio/CV: 

Karine Douplitzky (PhD 2020) was born and raised in France and recently moved to the Bay Area. She has a non-typical profile: a Master’s degree in Engineering and an M.A. in Film Studies, followed by many years as a documentary film director. One of her favorite subjects is the History of Paper: she wrote a book on the topic, as well as several articles on related themes such as the power of media. She then spent a year in Japan teaching French literature and cinema. Karine studied under Professor Elizabeth Honig and Todd Olson. She is particularly interested in Dutch and Flemish art and hopes to continue research on the question of the Smile. She has eclectic interests, including photography, elaborating themed exhibits and restoring a 12th-century prieuré in France.
