About:
Chris Cristóbal Chan is a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. His research involves questions of symbolic power, recognition, and social imaginations of peripheral sovereignties as (re)mediations through the production of art and remaking environments at a moment of post- and neo- Cold War geopolitics in the Taiwan Strait. He holds degrees from Rice University and Stanford University, and his research has been generously supported by the Wenner-Gren Dissertation Fieldwork Grant, the Social Science Research Council International Research Fellowship, as well as the Fulbright-Hays DDRA Fellowship.
