English | English The government-mandated transformation of Chinas landscape in the 1960s and 1970s frames Carson Fellow Maohang Baos analysis. Bao examines Chinas transition from natural terrain to a man-made environment, and particularly its significance for Chinese agricultural development. Bao makes use of environmental history and his own personal experiences as a young boy growing up during the time of this landscape metamorphosis. In addition to that, he tells how his research was enhanced by engaging with the expertise of other Carson Fellows. Prof. Dr. Bao is an associate professor of environmental history and Asia Pacific studies at Peking University in China. |
