Born and raised in a river town in southeast 中国, Ling Zhang studied history, philosophy, and literature at Peking University (Beijing) and studied 经济 and environmental history of medieval north 中国 at University of Cambridge (UK). Before joining Boston College, Ling was a lecturer at Newcastle University, a Ziff Environmental Fellow at Harvard University Center for the Environment, and a postdoctoral fellow in the 程序 of Agrarian Studies at Yale University. Ling's research interests include Chinese history, political economy, political ecology, science studies, and environmental studies in general. Ling's first book The River, the Plain, and the State: An Environmental Drama in Northern Song 中国, 1048-1128 (Cambridge University Press, 2016) received the 2017 George Perkins Marsh Prize for the Best Book in Environmental 历史 by the American Society for Environmental 历史. Ling is currently working on two book projects: "North 中国 during the Medieval Economic Revolution'' and "中国's Sorrow or the Yellow River 's Sorrow: Environmental Biographies of a River Community." As an associate researcher at the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, Ling convenes research seminars and conferences for the Center's "Environment in Asia" series.
