Introducing New Member: Jiaqi Liang

Sender:
Jiaqi Liang
|
Hi everyone, my name is Jiaqi Liang and I am from China. This is my first year at FASoS as a PhD candidate. I’m delighted to be a part of MACCH. My research interests focus on the connection between dark heritage/difficult heritage and human well-being. I am particularly interested in how we can acknowledge the diversity and controversy of heritage, while still remembering history and reflecting on its impact on humanity. If you are interested in related research or would like to discuss potential collaboration, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
