Cheng-yu Jung

I am deeply interested in sustainability and the intricate dynamics between humans and nature. My academic journey began with a focus on interdisciplinary education, which I cultivated through the Graduate Program in Environmental Humanities at the University of Utah. This program provided me with a solid foundation in blending diverse perspectives, fostering a holistic approach to addressing complex environmental challenges.

Following my graduate studies, I worked as a project coordinator at the Research Center for Future Earth at National Taiwan University. This role immersed me in the field of sustainability science and allowed me to engage in interdisciplinary collaborations with researchers from various disciplines. Through these experiences, I began to reflect on the pivotal role that the humanities and social sciences can play in shaping a vision for a "Good Anthropocene"—a future where human and ecological well-being are harmonized.

Building on these experiences, I began my PhD studies at the School of Sustainability within the College of Global Futures at Arizona State University in Fall 2024. Here, I am committed to further exploring how innovative and interdisciplinary approaches can contribute to transformative solutions for sustainability challenges.
