As a feminist cinema and screen studies teacher-scholar, Nadine Boljkovac stresses affective, ethical-political potentials of moving images and modern art.

Since October 1 2022, Nadine Boljkovac has been an advanced tenure-track Assistant Professor in Film Studies at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. Until August 2022, she was a non- tenure-track Assistant Professor of Audiovisual Cultures & the Moving Image in the Institute for Media & Cultural Studies, Heinrich Heine Universität Düsseldorf, and Guest Lecturer and Affiliated Fellow at the University of Cologne. After obtaining her PhD from the University of Cambridge (Department of French, Newnham College), Boljkovac held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Edinburgh (Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities), Brown University (Pembroke Center for Teaching & Research on Women), and the University of New South Wales (Centre for Modernism Studies in Australia). From 2016-19, she was a Senior Lecturer (permanent Associate Professor) in Film at Falmouth University (UK), before moving to the University of Cologne in 2019, where she was a 2018-19 Research Fellow at the Morphomata International Center for Advanced Studies (Käte Hamburger Center for Excellence), and an August-October 2018 Parsons New School for Design Visiting Fellow (Center for Transformative Media). Prior to her PhD, Boljkovac was a University of Aberdeen Predoctoral Film Teaching Fellow.

Nadine is co-editor (with Nicholas Rombes) of Bloomsbury Publishing's book series, Timecodes: Movies Minute by Minute. She has two monographs in progress: Little Women (2019): Minute by Minute (2024, Bloomsbury), and Herself: Feminist Ecocinema and Moving Image Portraiture. Nadine's first monograph examining affect and ethics, suffering and survival via Chris Marker and Alain Resnais, Untimely Affects: Gilles Deleuze and and Ethics of Cinema (Edinburgh University Press, 2013), was re-issued in paperback in 2015. A transdisciplinary book collection - inspired by the spatial and visual concept of a triptych as expressed in practice and philosophy - is also in progress (co-edited with Hanjo Berressem).
