Erin Lin, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Global Food Politics, discusses her book project, How War Changes Land: unexploded bombs, soil fertility, and the underdevelopment of Cambodia. In this event, she will provide highlights of her fieldwork in Cambodian minefields, and will describe how she incorporates narrative non-fiction elements into her large-N statistical analysis. She will also open discussion on the challenges of conducting fieldwork in a site under authoritarian surveillance.
