While they are not particularly “rare” in availability, they are difficult and expensive to mine. Yet, China has managed to gain control over an estimated 97 percent of the rare earth industry since the 1990s through cheap production, high export taxes, and artificial limitations of supply.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ custom_padding=”40px|0px|20.5156px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/earthumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pid_28971-1.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.26.5″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″]<\/p>\n Islands of Hertiage<\/b><\/p>\n By\u00a0Nathalie Peutz,\u00a0<\/b>Assistant Professor of Anthropology, NYUAD<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Soqotra, the largest island of Yemen’s Soqotra Archipelago, is one of the most uniquely diverse places in the world.

Situated in many middles, she feels anything but average and dull. She feels the heat of insights acutely as she investigates cellular respiration, citizenship and so-called free speech, the feminized labor of teaching, and the menopause instruction to \u201cgive birth to yourself.\u201d As a poet and artist this last bit of advice is useless; she\u2019s only ever birthed herself.

Brought in to construct and serve the towering monuments to wealth that punctuate the skylines of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, this labor force is not given the option of citizenship. Some ride their luck to good fortune. Others suffer different fates. Until now, the humanitarian crisis of the so-called \u201cguest workers\u201d of the Gulf has barely been addressed in fiction. With his stunning, mind-altering debut novel Temporary People, Deepak Unnikrishnan delves into their histories, myths, struggles, and triumphs.<\/p>\n Combining the linguistic invention of Salman Rushdie and the satirical vision of George Saunders, Unnikrishnan presents twenty-eight linked stories that careen from construction workers who shapeshift into luggage and escape a labor camp, to a woman who stitches back together the bodies of those who\u2019ve fallen from buildings in progress, to a man who grows ideal workers designed to live twelve years and then perish\u2014until they don\u2019t, and found a rebel community in the desert.

While researching a recent \u201cNew York Times Magazine\u201d cover story about chimpanzees, Charles Siebert visited a retirement home for former ape movie stars and circus entertainers in Wauchula, Florida known as the Center for Great Apes. There Siebert encountered Roger, a twenty-eight-year-old former Ringling Brothers star who seemed convinced he knew the author from some other time and place. Haunted by Roger\u2019s response, Siebert takes up residence at the Center for Great Apes and, in the course of one late-night visit to a sleepless Roger\u2019s quarters, gets to the bottom of this mysterious connection between himself and his simian counterpart. The result is \u201cThe Wauchula Woods Accord,\u201d a strikingly written, wide-ranging physical and metaphysical foray into the increasingly fraught frontier between humans and other animals; a journey that encompasses many of the author\u2019s encounters with chimpanzees and other animals, as well as the latest scientific discoveries that underscore our intimate biological bonds not only with our nearest kin, but with far more remote-seeming life-forms. By journey\u2019s end, the reader arrives at a deeper understanding both of Roger and of our numerous other animal selves, a recognition\u2013an accord\u2013 that carries a new sense of responsibility for how we view and treat all animals, including ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″ custom_padding=”50px|0|50px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/earthumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/IMG_7542.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″]<\/p>\n The EU, US, and China Tackling Climate Change: Policies and Alliances for the Anthropocene (Routledge, 2017).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n By Sophia Kalantzakos,\u00a0Global Distinguished Professor, Environmental Studies and Public Policy, NYU<\/span><\/p>\n The feeling of optimism that followed the COP 21 Paris Conference on Climate Change requires concrete action and steadfast commitment to a process that raises a number of crucial challenges: technological, political, social, and economic. As climate change worsens, new robust leadership is imperative.The EU, US and China Tackling Climate Change examines why a close collaboration between the EU and China may result in the necessary impetus to solidify a vision and a roadmap for our common future in the Anthropocene. Kalantzakos introduces a novel perspective and narrative on climate action leadership through an analysis of international relations. She argues that a close EU-China collaboration, which does not carry the baggage of an imbedded competition for supremacy, may best help the global community move towards a low carbon future and navigate the new challenges of the Anthropocene. Overall, Kalantzakos demonstrates how Europe and China, already strategic partners, can exercise global leadership in an area of crucial common interest through their web of relations, substantial development aid, and the use of soft power tools throughout the developing world.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ custom_padding=”40px|0px|20.5156px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/earthumanities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/513HCcLEzdL._SX317_BO1204203200_.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.9″ inline_fonts=”Verdana”]<\/p>\n The Stage Lives of Animals\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n By Una Chaudhuri,\u00a0Professor of English, Drama, Environmental Studies, Program Head of Theater, NYUAD<\/span><\/p>\n The Stage Lives of Animals<\/em>\u00a0examines what it might mean to make theatre beyond the human.

First, by identifying villages as key\u00a0arenas\u00a0for the production of forestry policy, it highlights the importance of rethinking the political geography of forestry policy during this period, to establish a proper comparative baseline for evaluating policy implementation. Second, its comparisons reveal diverging interests in forestry at these three levels, ranging from village reforestation for ecological conservation to provincial afforestation for economic development. Third, it shows that policymakers in these three arenas deployed distinctive cultural and political resources to promote their policies. The localized formats and objectives of village policies may have rendered them relatively invisible to national policymakers, who promoted more general and systematic forestry frameworks as novel interventions into a seemingly neglected policy arena that demanded comprehensive and intensive political intervention.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Blog” _builder_version=”3.22″ custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”||0px|”][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Research At NYUAD researchers, faculty, and students are committed to learning about the environment by using research as a tool to understand it.
