Tiffany Kaewen Dang is a landscape scholar whose work intersects landscape studies, posthumanism, urban theory, settler colonialism, and decoloniality. Her research primarily focuses on settler colonial geographies in Canada and the Americas, exploring how other-than-human landscape systems interact with infrastructural systems in generative ways. She investigates the significance of trans-Pacific migrations and the infrastructural histories of the Americas. Tiffany holds a PhD in geography from the University of Cambridge, where her thesis, 'Nature Unsettled: Making Wilderness Imaginary in the Canadian Settler State', examined the relationship between nature and the Canadian settler colonial state through the lens of landscape studies, linking urban geographies, other-than-human geographies, and racial histories. In addition to her doctorate, she earned a Master of Landscape Architecture from Harvard University and a Bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of Toronto. Before joining the University of Edinburgh, she served as a lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, leading master's level studios in landscape architecture. Tiffany's teaching focuses on design studios and history/theory courses within the MA Landscape Architecture program at ESALA, and she believes in a research-led, future-oriented approach that empowers students to challenge contemporary theories in landscape architectural practice. She is currently accepting PhD students.
