 00 Orange Trees', is one chapter from Sigrid Schmalzer's current book pro
 ject, Heritage and Survival: The Power of Agricultural Knowledge in Peopl
 e’s Republic of China.Engaging with key concepts such as 'traditional agri
 culture,' 'agroecological system,' and 'food sovereignty' in the context
  of socialist and post-socialist China, her book examines a series of cas
 e studies of agriculture, ranging from integrated fish farming, plant-ba
 sed insecticides, and Chinese medicine agriculture to networks for seed p
 reservation and exchange. Through these case studies, she explores the in
 tertwined themes of knowledge, environment, and history, while confront
 ing the thorny dilemmas of state power, capitalism, and technocracy.   S

 ts Amherst, where she specializes in the social, cultural, and politica
 l aspects of the history of science in modern China. She is the author of

 gure in the history of science activism, having contributed to a number o
 f notable projects, including the writing of a well-received children’s p

 anities and East Asia is a new monthly Speaker Series, which brings toget
 her recent scholarship experimenting with ecocritical and greater-than-hum
 an approaches in the context of East Asia.'Writing ecologies' entails the 
 practice of pushing the edges of conventional anthropocentric narratives i
 n history, literary studies, anthropology and beyond. Seeking to respond
  to the urgency of addressing environmental questions in the humanities an
 d social sciences, we are excited to present a great lineup of speakers a
 nd embark on a journey to trace the glimmers of entanglements between huma
 ns, land, water, animals, plants, fungi, and much more.With situated
  research and stories in East Asia, this series foregrounds critical inte
 rventions that advance our understanding of the global environmental crisi
 s and enrich our imagination of a more habitable future.Writing Ecologies:
