Postdoctoral fellow, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences
Qi Liu is a postdoctoral researcher who explores the lived experiences of resource demand, resource consumption, and environmental change within China. Her PhD research examines the complex intersections between geothermal water, water infrastructures, and cultural norms in tourism, using transdisciplinary approaches rooted in practice theories, mobility studies, materiality research and beyond. She also investigates contentious processes and socio-environmental consequences of everyday practices, such as solid waste and human waste disposal. Before obtaining her PhD in Geography from the University of Manchester, Qi Liu pursued her undergraduate degree at Xiamen University and her Master's degree at Renmin University of China, both in sociology.
