Marcus Yee

I am a PhD student at Yale University studying the environmental history of South and Southeast Asia. I research the intersections and gaps between histories of urban planning, climatology, and climate experience under monsoonal conditions. Between 2022-3, I was the Whitney Humanities Center Fellow in the Environmental Humanities.

 

I earned a BA from the University of Hong Kong (HKU), double majoring in History and Earth Systems Science, with a minor in Thai. At HKU, I received the Centenary Prize in History, the Wang Gungwu Prize for Undergraduate Students in History, and the Huey Suen Fat Prize in History. I was born and raised in Singapore, where I was an art worker. A full list of my work can be found on https://marcusyee.com.
