Yu-Hsuan "Jade" Wang

Biography

My research lies at the intersection of the history of technology, food history, and public health. Currently, I focus on the dairy industry in East Asia since the late 19th century, particularly on how milk became a tool for constructing an idealized and modern body in colonial Taiwan. Before joining UW-Madison, I earned a master’s degree in geography and conducted three years of science and technology studies research at National Taiwan University.
