Personal Profile

Jamie Wang is an Urban Environmental Humanities and Cultural Studies scholar. She is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Literature and Cultural Studies at the Education University of Hong Kong. Jamie's research is situated in the interdisciplinary field of the Environmental Humanities with a particular focus on cultural studies, urban studies, feminist science and technology studies. Her current thinking and writing examines sustainable urban-making, technological imaginaries, multi-modal environmental narratives in the context of intense urbanisation, climate change and environmental injustice. She has explored some of these issues in her book Reimagining the More-Than-Human City: stories from Singapore (2024, MIT Press). Along with the members of the Feminist Review Collective, Jamie co-edited the special themed issue series “Feminist Futures” (2023, 2024), marking the beginning of a new direction for the journal Feminist Review.

 

Jamie is also a poet and editor. Her creative work has appeared in Otherwise, Feminist Review, Voice and Verse among other venues. Jamie has a M.A. in writing and literature (Deakin University) and a Ph.D. in Environmental Humanities and Cultural Studies (University of Sydney). For more information, please visit jamiewang.org.
