This network brings together scholars interested in the changing meaning of the environment. It promotes the study of rising varieties of ‘environmental culture’ among China’s citizens, state agencies and non-governmental bodies alike. It supports a series of reciprocal visits between the network coordinator and external partners. It will also support a workshop held at Oxford that brings together the network collaborators and some additional speakers. These activities will form the foundations for a UK-based but international, interdisciplinary network of scholars interested in China’s evolving environmental culture and citizens’ activism around environmental problems.
