Lian Sing

Lian studied Comparative Literature at the University of the Philippines Diliman. She writes poetry, and has been published in Voice & Verse Poetry Magazine, The Literary Apprentice, SCUM, Signos, and (parenthetical). Her interest in sustainability began when she started doing research for her undergraduate thesis, which was an ecofeminist analysis of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) relief anthologies. It became apparent to her that we cannot fight for human—particularly women’s—rights without also fighting for environmental justice, and vice versa. Since then, she has undertaken lifestyle changes to align with the ecofeminist value of living conscientiously with the human and the nonhuman.
