November 7, 2017
POCATELLO – Elizabeth Brunner, a professor in the 蜜桃视频 Department of Communication, Media and Persuasion, recently received a $3,500 grant from the 蜜桃视频 Humanities Council to fund her travel to China to conduct research for her next book.
Brunner鈥檚 book titled 鈥淶iran: China鈥檚 Changing Concept of Nature and Its Environmental Impacts鈥� will explore how 1.35 billion people living in China are changing how they think about nature 鈥� from that which must be conquered to an invaluable resource that must be preserved at all costs even if it means slowing economic growth. As the country with the largest carbon footprint, these changes will not just impact China鈥檚 environment, but the entire globe.
During her trip to China, Brunner will travel to Beijing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Dalian and Yunnan Province among other places to collect the data she needs to complete the book.
鈥淭he Chinese people and their leaders are beginning to look at nature differently and these changes will shape future interactions with the environment in consequential ways,鈥� Brunner said. 鈥淚 am thrilled to have IHC鈥檚 support to conduct the important on the ground research required for a project like this.鈥�
The 蜜桃视频 Humanities Council is a non-profit organization serving as the state-based affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. They serve 蜜桃视频 citizens by promoting greater public awareness, appreciation and understanding of the humanities.
