\n\tResearch Interest: indigenous environmental politics; more-than-human; religion and ecology; conservation and tourism; Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau<\/em><\/p>\n I am a first-year PhD student in Anthropology at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, National University of Singapore. I completed my Master’s study in environmental anthropology at Yale University. I love trail running, mixed martial arts, and poetry.<\/p>\n Research:<\/strong><\/p>\n My research focuses on people’s ways of knowing the environment in political and ecological uncertainties. In my PhD study, I plan to examine 1) how the bodily experience in outdoor adventure shapes the relationship between indigenous tour guides and the environment, and 2) how tourists make sense of the landscape with indigenous people’s cultural and political representation. Some of my past research projects examine: the unity and diversity of Tibetan culture in contemporary Buddhist environmentalists’ discourses; the common pattern of indigenous climate knowledge in Tibetan Plateau and Yunnan Forest; the changes of multispecies relations and people’s attentiveness to the environment in nature conservation.<\/p>\n\t Teaching Experience:<\/strong><\/p>\nAugust 2022 – present \u2022 Served as the Teaching Fellow for three graduate courses: ENV 759 Power, Knowledge, and the Environment: Social Science Theory and Method, by Dr. Michael Dove; ENV 685 Engaging Landholders and Communities in Conserving and Restoring Tropical Forest Landscapes, by Dr. Eva Garen; ENV 619 Philosophical Environmental Ethics, by Dr. Stephan Latham. \u2022 Led student discussions and answered reading-related questions, gave feedback and grades for student assignments, selected course materials with Professors, and provided administrative support in class.<\/p>\nApril 2019 – June 2021 (Online)
