SUMMARY:Rethinking Craft in Postindustrial Society
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a Conference with: \nRabbit Goody\, Thistle Hill Weavers\nYuan Yi\, Columbia University\nJustin Squizzero\, The Burroughs Garret\nCarol Cassidy\,  Lao Textiles\nPamela Smith\, Columbia University\nTimothy Oakes\, University of Colorado Boulder\nKaruna Miryam Dietrich Wielenga\, Azim Premji University\nJacob Eyferth\, The University of Chicago\nEugenia Lean\, Columbia University \nCraft has long been understood in terms of its adversarial relationship with mechanization and industrialization. In industrial society\, where people live surrounded by machine-made\, mass-produced commodities\, craft has been relegated to the realm of “tradition\,” which belongs to the disconnected past. However\, what does craft mean in a postindustrial society like today’s United States? When manufacturing\, the long-time opponent to craft\, no longer constitutes a major economic sector\, what is the role of craft and what can we gain from it? These questions become even more critical now when on the one hand\, artificial intelligence threatens to encroach on human territory\, and on the other hand\, the senses of localism\, ethical consumption\, and environmental consequences are higher than ever. This one-day conference proposes to take advantage of this crucial moment as an opportunity to rethink craft both as a mode of production and as a way of living. By bringing together practitioners and scholars from Asia and the United States\, it provides a venue for an interdisciplinary conversation about craft\, technology\, and the economy.  \nThis event is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute’s 70th Anniversary Event and part of Science and Society in Global Asia series.\n. \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nDecember 13\, 2019\n9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\nProgram details: \n9:30 – 9:45 Introduction \nYuan Yi\, Columbia University \n9:45 – 10:45 “Heavy Metal Weaving”: Between Craft and Mechanization \nChair: Yuan Yi\, Columbia University \nSpeaker: Rabbit Goody\, Thistle Hill Weavers \n10:45 – 11:00 Coffee Break \n11:00 – 12:30 Made in USA\, Made in Laos: Handwoven Textiles \nChair: Pamela Smith\, Columbia University \nSpeakers: Justin Squizzero\, The Burroughs Garret \nCarol Cassidy\, Lao Textiles \n12:30 – 1:30 Lunch Break \n1:30 – 3:00 State\, Craft\, and Intangible Cultural Heritage \nChair: Jacob Eyferth\, The University of Chicago \nSpeakers: Timothy Oakes\, University of Colorado Boulder \nKaruna Miryam Dietrich Wielenga\, Azim Premji University \n3:00 – 3:15 Coffee Break \n3:15 – 4:30 Roundtable  \nModerator: Eugenia Lean\, Columbia University \n  \nPlease visit the conference website by clicking here for more information about this program. \n  \nAddress\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street \n  \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Natalie Pretzer-Lin np2603@columbia.edu . \n*Your presence at this event indicates your willingness to appear in any photos or videos produced by Columbia and by pre-approved third parties.

SUMMARY:Understanding Climate Change on the Tibetan Plateau: Environmental Conservation Research and Climate Science Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\n \nPlease join us for a panel discussion with: \nYonten Nyima\, Visiting Research Scholar\, NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service \nBrendan Buckley\, Lamont Research Professor\, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory\, Columbia University \nTsering Bum\, Ph.D. candidate\, Department of Anthropology\, Emory University  \nChenxi Xu\, Associate Professor\, Institute of Geology and Geophysics\, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS) \n  \nDiscussants:  \nBrendan Buckley\, Lamont Research Professor\, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory\, Columbia University \nEveline Washul\, Modern Tibetan Studies Program\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, Columbia University \n  \nEvent summary: \nThe Tibetan Plateau is the largest high-altitude region in the world and is incredibly important as a source of water\, biodiversity\, and mineral resources on the Asian continent. This also makes it one of the most sensitive areas to climate change. In past decades\, the Tibetan Plateau has seen more significant warming than surrounding regions due to its higher altitude. As such\, Tibetan communities are at the forefront of experiencing the impacts of climate change.  \nThis round table brings together social science researchers working with Tibetan pastoralist communities in China and climate scientists who have worked in the Himalayas and Asia to discuss how interdisciplinary approaches might enrich understandings of climate change on the Tibetan Plateau and contribute to our knowledge of global climate change. \n  \nSpeakers Bios: \nBrendan Buckley holds the position of Lamont Research Professor\, and has been a long-time member of the Tree Ring Lab at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (LDEO). While he has worked in locations around the globe\, Buckley has been one of the pioneers of tropical dendroclimatology\, having produced the longest and best replicated records of absolutely dated tree ring sequences from Southeast Asia. Among his most important discoveries were the identification of two key periods of drought that coincided with the two most tumultuous periods of the past millennium over Southeast Asia – the Angkor droughts of the late 14th/early 15th century\, and the Strange Parallels Drought of late 18th century\, respectively. He continues this important work by using new methods to develop discrete seasonal reconstructions of regional hydroclimate\, including measures of the strength of summer and winter monsoons\, as well as the “shoulder” seasons that lead into and out of them\, over the past millennium. Buckley is a proponent of interdisciplinary research\, working with historians\, archaeologists\, geochemists and atmospheric scientists. \nTsering Bum is from Mangra County in Amdo Tibet (Qinghai Province\, China). He is currently a PhD candidate of Environmental Anthropology at Emory University. From 2012 to 2016\, he worked as program manager and researcher at a Chinese environmental NGO dedicated to biodiversity conservation in western China. At this NGO\, he mainly worked with Tibetan pastoralist communities to establish community-based resource management teams to implement biodiversity monitoring\, waste management\, and human-wildlife conflict resolution work. Currently he is doing dissertation research on the impacts of increased monastic and statist wildlife conservation efforts on pastoralist communities\, specifically focusing on how wildlife conservation practices are transforming socioeconomic structures and power relations amongst Tibetan pastoralist communities. \nYonten Nyima is a human geographer specializing in Tibetan pastoralism. He is currently a visiting Research Scholar at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service\, New York University. His main research interests are development and environmental policies\, pastoralism\, rangeland and natural resource management and access\, indigenous knowledge and climate change\, and cultural politics and resistance. Dr. Yonten Nyima draws from political ecology and political economy in examining rationales for\, implementation of\, and socioeconomic\, cultural\, political and ecological effects of China’s ongoing development and environmental policies in Tibet. He has published peer-reviewed articles on Tibetan pastoralism in journals including Society and Natural Resources\, Conservation and Society\, Human Ecology\, and Area. \nChenxi Xu holds the position of Associate Professor at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics\, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS). He has been engaged in research on tree ring oxygen isotope and global changes and has contributed to the development of dendrochronology and dendroclimatology in tropical and subtropical areas. His main contributions include: 1) studies on oxygen isotope of trees with and without ring structure in Southeast Asia that indicate that tree ring oxygen isotope can be used as a new method to cross-date trees in the tropics; 2) systematic comparisons that showed that tree ring oxygen isotope in monsoonal Asia significantly correlated with summer moisture changes\, and thus the history of summer moisture changes in various locations (Laos\, Thailand\, Vietnam\, India\, Nepal and China) in the Asian monsoon region can be reconstructed based on this relationship. His hydroclimate reconstructions reveal South Asian summer monsoon has weakened in the past 200 years\, and the increased sea surface temperature in the Indian Ocean that resulted in reduced land-sea thermal contrast is the main reason for the weakening of the South Asian summer monsoon. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian 70th Anniversary event. \n  \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nNovember 14\, 2019\n12:00 PM – 1:30 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street \nCosponsors: Modern Tibetan Studies Program\, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory\, Columbia University

SUMMARY:”Disinformation and Elections in East and Southeast Asia: Digital Futures and Fragile Democracies”
DESCRIPTION:New York Southeast Asia Network and School of Journalism Event\n  \nPlease join us for a Workshop co-organized by: \nSheila Coronel\, Columbia Journalism School\, \nColumbia University \nDuncan McCargo\, Department of Political Science\, \nColumbia University \nJonathan Corpus Ong\, Department of Communications \nUniversity of Massachusetts\, Amherst \nMargaret Scott\, Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service \nNew York University \n  \nA recent series of elections in Cambodia\, Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Thailand\, the Philippines and indeed across Asia has highlighted the salience of digital media in political campaigns and insidious modes of electoral manipulation. This two-day workshop aims to gather evidence into the operations and impact of digital disinformation in the context of recent Asian elections. \nThe conference approaches Asia as a site in which disinformation in various digital and analog forms have not only deep local histories but also radical acceleration and innovation the likes of which have little to no precedent in advanced liberal democracies in the West. Many Asian countries lead in both scale and intensity of technological adoption and use while serving as “laboratories” for testing and experimentation by Big Tech firms\, with minimal oversight and accountability to the potentially grave consequences of algorithmic tweaks\, the dispersed labor of content moderation\, and new platform rollouts. Thus we seek to develop a framework that examines the social and political ramifications of this process beyond the region. \nThe two-day event aims for interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to thinking through issues of disinformation that draw from areas of sociology\, politics\, media and communication studies\, journalism studies\, critical legal studies\, information science\, and anthropology. \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute 70th Anniversary event.
