Beyond Workshops: Spatial Distribution of Paper-making Communities and Properties in Upland Southeast China, 1700-1950
April 7 11:30 AM-1:15 PM
Yiying Peng, a Ph.D. student in History discusses a new way of looking at the industry. This provides a new perspective on the interactions of production and environment and of different groups of producers. It further demonstrates the heterogeneity of utilizing the highlands and the ways in which people across space stretched their influence to the remote uplands to make the most of their living environment.
