Jesse Rodenbiker established the Sustainable Maritime China Lab at Cornell University in conjunction with his Atkinson Center for Sustainability postdoctoral research project of the same name. The lab explores sustainability from multiple perspectives. We engage China in domestic, global, and diasporic contexts, as well as fisheries, urban markets, ocean territories, and social systems of valuation that shape maritime processes. In addition to being a venue for investigating socio-natural processes and relationships, the lab provides opportunities for students to gain first-hand field-based research experience.
