Bio

Jason Chan is a PhD candidate (ABD) in modern Chinese history at Harvard University. He is researching the history of cold, arid, and high-altitude environments and sciences in the People’s Republic of China, in particular the history of glaciology and permafrost science on the Tibetan Plateau. More broadly, he is interested in the environmental history of modern China and Central Eurasia, the history of earth sciences in twentieth-century China and the Soviet Union, and the history of extreme environments and disasters.

Jason earned his BA from the University of Hong Kong. He then studied Glaciology and History of Science for his MPhil at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. His previous works examined the history of environmental and energy cooperation in the Cold War Arctic and the history of Soviet glaciology in High Mountain Asia.

At Harvard, Jason co-convened the GSAS-funded Modern Chinese History Workshop.
