  Christopher Yang

  Lecturer, Civic, Liberal, and Global Education
  

  BioChristopher Yang is a historian of early Chinese religions who studies the texts and traditions of Warring States and early imperial China (roughly, those dating between the 5th c. BCE and the early 3rd c. CE). He is working on a book manuscript, based on his dissertation, that shows how a set of enduring ideas about the body, mind, spirit (神) and the scope of human powers was forged in exchanges between early practitioners of sacrifice, self-cultivation, medicine, and esoterica. His broader research interests concern the body and materiality; religious ethics; the relationship between text and practice; and later receptions of early Chinese texts.

  Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI combine political theory, the history of political thought, and science and technology studies to explore the political implications of nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence, and cascading ecological collapse. My research focuses on the new kinds of political fissures that form when the survival of Life on Earth comes to depend on the outcome of human actions.
