Research through Passing in _____ and _____

Emily T. Yeh is a professor of geography at the University of Colorado Boulder. She conducts research on development and nature-society relations, mostly in Tibetan parts of the PRC, including the political ecology of pastoralism, conflicts over access to natural resources, vulnerability to and knowledge of climate change, the cultural and ontological politics of nature conservation, and the conjunctural production of environmental subjectivities. Her book Taming Tibet: Landscape Transformation and the Gift of Chinese Development explored the intersection of the political economy and cultural politics of development as a project of state territorialization. She is also editor or co-editor of Mapping Shangrila: Contested Landscapes in the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands, Rural Politics in Contemporary China, and The Geoeconomics and Geopolitics of Chinese Development and Investment in Asia.
