(Ph.D. in Applied Anthropology, 2017, Oregon State University) is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow of the LICCI team at ICTA-UAB. Her general research interest is on understanding human dimensions in natural resources. During her Ph.D., she examined Yi peoples’ (Nuosu) traditional ecological knowledge related to wild edible plants (WEPs), analyzed social-ecological vulnerability and resilience in the face of agricultural transition from subsistence farming to cash cropping, and explored impacts caused by internal migration and cash remittances. Her current research at LICCI will assess Akha peoples’ traditional ecological knowledge related to wild foods and examine the adaptation strategies to climate change through the lens of traditional ecological knowledge about wild foods in Southwest China and Northern Laos.
