Andrea Janku
Before joining SOAS, Andrea was an assistant professor in Classical Sinology at the University of Heidelberg. While her interests in the field of China’s social and intellectual history continue to be relatively broad, her own active research has moved to the history of disasters in the early modern period and environmental history more generally. She is currently working on a monograph on the experience of famine in late Qing and early Republican China and pursuing a collaborative project on landscapes and environmental change.
