Erin Hànyù (汉玉) Lynch

Erin Hànyù (汉玉) Lynch is a writer and Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow studying at the University of Chicago. A committed advocate of environmental justice, she has been involved in activism, NGO work, and the (completely accidental!) deaths of  house plants.

​

For the curious, her academic research takes an ecocritical approach to the history of science in 19th-century China, with particular attention to the environmental implications of Western imperialism during China's Self-Strengthening period.
