Dr. Hsing-Sheng Tai

　　I have been working on issues concerning the sustainable use and conservation of renewable natural resources for 20 years. My research interests particularly focus on indigenous peoples’ common-pool resource governance.

 

　　Since 2013 I have been working with scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in researching social-ecological systems resilience and resilience-based governance in both land and marine contexts. I am currently a committee member of the Taiwan Sustainability Hub, which is tasked with promoting trans-disciplinary research (TDR) toward social transformation in Taiwan.

 

　　My lab has been collaborating with diverse stakeholders in specific cases; local communities, governmental agencies, NGOs, and academics. Taiwanese and international students who are interested in natural resources governance, and/or social-ecological system resilience, are welcome to work with us.
