Dongming Xu
About
Dr. Dongming Xu is a senior research fellow at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, and is currently working on the five-year project 'A Middle Way? Probing Sufficiency through Meat and Milk in China' (MidWay - ERC Starting Grant). It aims to better understand the concept of 'sufficiency' using the cases of meat and milk production and consumption in China.
Dr. Xu worked on many conservation projects of the listed heritage sites as an architect and a heritage professional in China from 1996 to 2008. As an interdisciplinary study is a must for a clearer understanding of the cultural heritage site, he is experienced with the scientific methods in sociology and social anthropology from the early stages of his career. From 2008 to 2018, he went to the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology for his Ph.D. and other academic projects and teaching programs. He received his doctorate on a transdisciplinary approach to archaeological site museums, “A Multi-Perspective Observation of Site Museums” from NTNU in 2018. Dr. Xu is also the “Conservation Dialogue” columnist for Community Design Journal, Tsinghua University, China.
