Liu, Felicia

Liu, Felicia is a Lecturer in Sustainability in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of York. Her research is guided by her curiosity about the interaction between capital, society and nature in the Anthropocene. A core part of her work focuses on sustainable finance as an important tool in (re)mediating the relationship between human and non-human nature in contemporary times. Built upon her PhD that focussed on the development of sustainable finance in Asia, her current research looks at sustainable finance in the realms of biodiversity and fintech, including biodiversity finance disclosure and data needs, innovative market instruments for nature finance, and green fintech. Felicia is also interested in how society makes sense of anthropogenic environmental changes, as reflected in her ongoing work on contrasting media portrayal of (un)sustainable agroforestry practices in Southeast Asia, and her investigation into the construction of Seasons of the Anthropocene.
