This project aims to provide a comprehensive account of China’s role in shaping the post-World War II international economic order. Though not widely known today, Nationalist and Communist China played a leading role in two key international economic conferences between 1944 and 1955: Bretton Woods and Bandung. By studying recently declassified Chinese archives, the project aims to uncover how nationalism shaped China’s economic ideas, and the historical origins of 21st century Chinese economic institutions and initiatives. Understanding China’s post-war economic ideas is expected to refine theories of economic nationalism, and help policymakers understand how China seeks to shape the global economy.Read moreRead less

This project aims to investigate a multispecies approach within nomadic medical practices and how this knowledge has been transmitted on the Mongolian Plateau. It will examine how Mongolian medicine treats both humans and animal patients, and how multispecies knowledge has developed over time. The project will focus on three forms of knowledge transmission: learning through word-of-mouth and practical trial-and-error; a more structur ....Mongolian medicine: different modes of knowledge transmission. This project aims to investigate a multispecies approach within nomadic medical practices and how this knowledge has been transmitted on the Mongolian Plateau. It will examine how Mongolian medicine treats both humans and animal patients, and how multispecies knowledge has developed over time. The project will focus on three forms of knowledge transmission: learning through word-of-mouth and practical trial-and-error; a more structured form of learning through Buddhist monasteries, which engages with both apprenticeship and ancient texts; and the modern institutional model of the hospital. The project expects to contribute to research on global health across species, as well as across different environmental contexts within local settings.Read moreRead less
