Editorial Board: Anna L. Ahlers, David Fedman, Eleana J. Kim, and Micah Muscolino
This timely series brings an interdisciplinary lens to the study of the environments of East Asia, approaching questions of human-environment relations by bringing together scholars from social science, humanities, and STEM fields to challenge entrenched paradigms about East Asian societies’ relationship with the environment. The series interrogates past and present societies, cultures, and environments with the aim of imagining and forging ways to a more sustainable and equitable future. Books in the series are freely available in open access through the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation.
