Yu-Hung Wang is a PhD candidate in Political Theory at the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR), University of Amsterdam.

His research focuses on developing a critical theory of eco-socialism/degrowth by drawing on empirical cases of indigenous eco-anarchism. Responding to the call for southern theory, a real utopian sociology, and an ethnographic sensibility in political theory, he explores what indigenous ecological practices and philosophies—specifically in the case of Taiwan's eco-anarchist village, Smangus—can teach us about decarbonizing freedom, sustainable planning, intergenerational responsibility, and interspecies kinship.

His research aims to go beyond the Eurocentric theoretical framework commonly drawn from eco-Marxism and eco-anarchism by foregrounding indigenous critiques of state and capitalism, in which the concepts of freedom, equality, fraternity are intimately tied to the material conditions of nature - including land stewardship, seasonal knowledge, interspecies reciprocity, and material-embodied ancestral spirituality.

Using archival and historical comparative methods, his research also traces modern European political theory to colonial encounters with Indigenous anarchist practices and their environmental philosophy.

Yu-Hung holds a MSc in Social Anthropology (2022) from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). He finished a psychoanalytic training programme at The Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research (CFAR) in 2024.

He is involved in left-wing activism and is the creator of the YouTube channel "SuperY," which is dedicated to introducing social and political theory.
