Tyson’s dissertation, “Reimagined Peripheries: Environment and the Construction of the French and Russian Colonial Empires,” is a comparative study of the environmental narratives that shaped (and were shaped by) colonial infrastructure projects in North Africa and Central Asia in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. More broadly, he is interested in the interactions among technology, environment, and empire in Africa and Asia.
