SUMMARY:Social Psychological Wellbeing of Left-behind Children in Rural China: Myths\, Concerns\, and Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Study
DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nShenyang Guo\, Frank J. Bruno Distinguished Professor of Social Work Research\, \nBrown School of Social Work\, Washington University in St. Louis  \nModerated by: \nQin Gao\, Professor of Social Policy and Social Work\, \nColumbia School of Social Work \n  \nThe year 2018 symbolized the 40th anniversary of China’s launch of the economic reform and open-the-door policies. The 40-years’ rapid economic development has made China the second largest economy in the world\, and brought about dramatic social changes in the country as well. One direct effect of the reforms was the creation of the so-called “left-behind children” who live in the rural areas while their parents moved to the cities for better economic opportunities. About 61 million children are estimated to be left-behind children. There are growing concerns among child-protective groups about the wellbeing of these children\, because this is a vulnerable subpopulation who lacked attachment\, warmth\, affection\, and care at a crucial age of development. \nIn this talk\, Prof. Shenyang Guo will introduce the “Let’s Be Friends—Shaanxi” project which aimed to assess and improve the social information processing skills of left-behind children. The project focused on children at ages 8-10\, a crucial age span for children’s socialization and development. Using a rich set of measures and rigorous analytical methods\, the study finds that left-behind children did not fare worse than other children. Of the 30 outcome variables examined\, only four show significant differences; the remaining 26 variables are not statistically significant with mixed findings about directions of the differences. Prof. Guo concludes that the outcomes of left-behind children may not be as bad as non-scientific news reports demonstrate\, though further research is very much needed. \n  \n  \nShenyang Guo is Frank J Bruno Distinguished Professor at Brown School of Washington University in St. Louis\, and the Yangtze-River Chaired Professor at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Xi’an Jiaotong University. He is the author of numerous research articles in child welfare\, child mental health services\, welfare\, and health care. He is the author/co-author of Propensity Score Analysis\, Survival Analysis\, and Structural Equation Modeling. He has expertise in applying advanced statistical models to solving social welfare problems and has taught graduate courses that address survival analysis\, hierarchical linear modeling\, growth curve modeling\, propensity score analysis\, and program evaluation. In addition\, Guo is the Editor of Sage Publications’ Advanced Quantitative Techniques in the Social Sciences Series\, serves on the editorial board of Social Service Review\, and is a frequent guest reviewer for journals seeking a critique of advanced methodological analyses. Guo is a fellow of American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare\, and a fellow of Society of Social Work and Research. At Washington University in St. Louis\, Guo is Assistant Vice Chancellor for International Affairs – Greater China. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute 2019-2020 Lecture Series event. \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nDecember 6\, 2019\n12:00 PM-1:15 PM \n  \nAddress \nSchool of Social Work\, Room C05 \n1255 Amsterdam Ave \n  \nCosponsored by China Center for Social Policy

SUMMARY:Part III: What is Law when East meets West: The Lessons of the Ming Sung Umbrella Factory Case in the Shanghai International Mixed Court
DESCRIPTION:University Seminar\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nMadeleine Zelin\, Dean Lung Professor of Chinese Studies \nHistory and East Asian Languages and Cultures Departments\, Columbia University \n  \nThis is event is part three of a this year’s Schoff Memorial Lecture Series entitled\, “China Semi-Incorporated: The Battle for a Chinese Legal Modernity in the Early Twentieth Century.” \nLaw was central to China’s early twentieth century transformation from empire to republic. This transformation not only uprooted the foundations of political life. It demanded the fashioning of a new and uniquely Chinese legal modernity in the shadow of Western extrater-ritorial privilege. In order to understand the ways in which law devel-oped on contested ground in places like early twentieth century China\, it may be useful to look at seemingly small struggles that reveal the larger processes at work. In these three lectures we will examine just such a struggle. In the first lecture we will see how the idea of the company was naturalized within a Chinese moral universe and came to represent law as the source of western power. In the second\, we will trace the resurrection of the customary realm as it challenged the hegemony of law on the books and the notion that before the arrival of Europeans China had no private law. Finally\, in the third lecture we will take a position as observers to the struggle between Chinese custom and the arrogance of Western legal universality at extraterritorialy’s premier forum\, the Shanghai International Mixed Court. \nMadeleine Zelin is Dean Lung Professor of Chinese Stud-ies and Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. Beginning with her first book\, The Magistrates Tael\, Zelin’s work has focused on the intersection of formal and informal institutions in the economic\, political and legal development of Chi-na. The Merchants of Zigong: Industrial Enterprise in Early Modern China was awarded the 2006 Allan Sharlin Memo-rial Prize of the Social Science History Association\, the 2006 Fairbank Prize of the Association for Asian Studies and the 2007 Humanities Book Prize of the International Convention on Asian Studies. Zelin served many years as director of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and as Director of Columbia University’s East Asian National Re-source Center. Outside the university she has worked to promote understanding of China in the US and as an integral part of teaching and research in the social sciences\, in roles including Co-Di-rector of the Luce Foundation-AAS Project on Emerging Fields in Asian Studies-Economic History\, and as a member of the Board of Trustees of the National Committee for US China Relations. She is an avid New York amateur flutist. \nNo registration required. \nMore details regarding the Schoff Memorial Lecture Series.\nEVENT DETAILS\n\nNovember 25\, 2019 \n8:00 PM-10:00 PM\n  \nAddress\n\nFaculty House\, 2nd Floor \n64 Morningside Drive \n  \nCosponsored by: Columbia University Press Event

SUMMARY:"Reporting Asia: Vietnam"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bill Hayton\, Associate Fellow\, Asia-Pacific Programme\, Chatham House and  Nguyen Phuong Linh\, Southeast Asia Political Analyst\, former Financial Times and Reuters’ Vietnam Correspondent  \nModerated by Lien-Hang Nguyen\, Dorothy Borg Associate Professor in the History of the United States and East Asia\, Department of History \n  \nAbout the Reporting Asia Series \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAsia is in the news. Headlines are dominated by trade wars with China or the possibility of actual war with North Korea. Yet\, even while reasoned and nuanced reportage on Asia is urgently needed\, it has become increasingly difficult to do so. Growing illiberalism in different corners of Asia—from China to the Philippines—generate ever more obstacles to accurate accounting. Accusations of “fake news” are generously bandied about. And shrinking budgets cut ever more deeply in expensive\, overseas positions. Despite this all\, journalists and news correspondents remain committed to delivering responsible and trustworthy news from Asia.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis series features seasoned writers\, editors and journalists who have experience in reporting on different parts of Asia. Together they speak to the new and challenging environment which reporters and observers of Asia face today.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers: \nBill Hayton is the author of The South China Sea: the struggle for power in Asia (Yale\, 2014) and Vietnam: rising dragon (Yale\, 2010) and is currently working on a book about the construction of nationhood in China. He works as a journalist for BBC World News in London. He was the BBC’s reporter in Vietnam in 2006/7 and spent 2013 advising Myanmar’s state broadcaster on reform and restructuring. He recently received a PhD from the University of Cambridge. \n  \nNguyen Phuong Linh\, after nearly 10 years in Vietnam as a local reporter and in Indonesia and the UK as a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and Reuters\, recently moved to Singapore to work as a political analyst. She writes analyses for her company’s clients on political and regulatory risk issues in Southeast Asia\, focusing on Indonesia\, Myanmar and Vietnam. Linh also provides regular media commentary on political\, economic\, and security topics in Southeast Asia. She holds a master’s of science in Asian politics from University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies. Linh is a co-author of upcoming book “Almost home” (Youth Publishing House\, 2019) featuring young Vietnamese overseas who have been struggling in finding their identity. \n  \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \nNo Registration Required \nFor any press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu
