Fung Wan Yin Kimberly is a doctoral student at the Graduate School of Social Sciences, Hitotsubashi University. Her multi-sited ethnographic research focuses on the aftermath of Japan’s first major industrial pollution disaster, the Ashio Copper Mine Poisoning Incident. She examines the temporal layers of ruination and recovery, highlighting the dialectical space between them. Kimberly’s work addresses the politics of pollution and regeneration in post-industrial ruins, with a focus on the intersection of post-extractivist transitions and environmental restoration.
