Biography

Ying-Tzu Lin (1986) is the NIAS-Meertens fellow 2024-2025. She studied Agronomy and Sociology at National Taiwan University, and Landscape Architecture and Planning at Wageningen University. She received her PhD from University of Amsterdam in 2023 for a dissertation on Planning with the chaos of everyday life: Exploring the governance regimes of mixed-use public spaces, taking urban street markets as a case study. In her research she focuses on issues related to public spaces, food and commons. During the NIAS-Meertens fellowship she is involved in the research on using a Dutch historical food archive in culinary ethnography to co-produce knowledge on a sustainable diet in an urban Dutch context. Previously, she worked on research about food as commons in the European urban context. Before her appointment at the Meertens Institute, she worked as a Louise O. Fresco Fellow for the history of food and nutrition at the Allard Pierson Museum.
