How do these material objects rescued from “the dustbin of history” challenge conventional understandings of science and technology? How can they help us understand science and technology as practice and experience in Republican and Mao-era China? The workshop begins with an introduction to the collection\, proceeds with focused reading sessions led by scholars\, and ends with a round-table discussion. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute 70th anniversary event and part of the Science and Society in Global Asia series. \nNo registration required. \n\nEVENT DETAILS\n\n Friday\, December 6\, 2019\n2:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nSaturday\, December 7\, 2019\n9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \n  \nAddress\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street \n  \nSchedule\n\nFriday\, December 6\, 2019\n14:10 – 14:25 Opening Remarks\nJim Cheng and Eugenia Lean (Columbia University) \n14:25 – 14:55 Introduction of the Collection\nChengzhi Wang (Columbia University) \n14:55 – 15:45 Reading Session One \nLisa Claypool (University of Alberta) \n16:45 – 16:00 Coffee Break \n16:00 – 16:50 Reading Session Two\nFa-ti Fan (SUNY\, Binghamton) \n16:55 – 17:45 Reading Session Three\nDanping Wang (Columbia University) \nSaturday\, December 7\, 2019\n9:30 – 10:20 Reading Session Four\nSigrid Schmalzer (UMass\, Amherst) \n10:20 – 10:35 Coffee Break \n10:35 – 11:25 Reading Session Five\nYi Gu (University of Toronto) \n11: 30 – 13:00 Lunch \n13:00 – 13:50 Reading Session Six\nYing Qian (Columbia University) \n13:50 – 14:10 Coffee Break \n14:10 – 15:00 Reading Session Seven\nChuan Xu (Columbia University) \n15:00 – 15: 15 Coffee Break \n15: 15 – 17:00 Round Table\nLaurence Coderre (New York University)\nFa-ti Fan (SUNY\, Binghamton)\nEugenia Lean (Columbia University)\nSigrid Schmalzer (UMass\, Amherst)  \n  \nCosponsored by: C.V.

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 URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/social-psychological-wellbeing-of-left-behind-children-in-rural-china-myths-concerns-and-evidence-from-a-randomized-controlled-study/ CATEGORIES:Lecture Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191205T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191205T133000 DTSTAMP:20200113T173611Z CREATED:20191010T141517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200113T173611Z UID:19967-1575547200-1575552600@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:Reporting Asia: Tibet DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nEdward Wong\, Diplomatic Correspondent \nThe New York Times \nModerated by: \nGray Tuttle\, Leila Hadley Luce Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies \nDepartment of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \n  \n \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nEdward Wong is a diplomatic and international correspondent for The New York Times who reports on foreign policy from Washington\, D.C.

Like other representatives of newly-incorporated subject populations in the capital\, these Muslims became members of the Qing banner system. At the same time\, they kept up contact with Xinjiang\, and served as intermediaries between Islamic Inner Asia and the court. Drawing on recent archival and manuscript research\, this talk examines the religious life of this community\, and the place of Islam in the high Qing vision of universal emperorship. \n  \n  \nDavid Brophy is an Associate Research Scholar in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and a Lecturer in Modern Chinese History at the University of Sydney. He studies the social and political history of China’s northwest\, particularly Xinjiang\, and its connections with the Islamic and Russian/Soviet worlds. After finishing his PhD at Harvard in 2011\, Professor Brophy spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian Centre on China in the World\, at the Australian National University. His book Uyghur Nation: Reform and Revolution on the Russia-China Frontier (Harvard University Press\, 2016) is about the politics of Uyghur nationalism between Xinjiang and the Soviet Union in the early twentieth century. Most of Professor Brophy’s new research engages with the Manchu-language archive on Qing China’s eighteenth-century expansion. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nDecember 3\, 2019\n12:00 PM-1:30 PM \n  \nAddress \nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/inner-asian-islam-in-qianlong-era-beijing/ CATEGORIES:Panels and Lectures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191202T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191202T203000 DTSTAMP:20191114T150050Z CREATED:20191114T143645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191114T150050Z UID:20697-1575311400-1575318600@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:From Criminalization to Liberation: Organizing Migrant Asian Sex Workers Across Oceans DESCRIPTION:Center of the Study of Ethnicity and Race Event\nJoin us for a discussion organized by Red Canary Song: \nKK de la Vida \nChanelle Gallant \nElene Lam \nElena Shih \nKate Zen \nModerated by Yin Q \nIntroduced by Mae Ngai \nHow might treating migrant sex work as labor rather than as a problem change policies\, transform communities and create new futures? \nThis conversation centers theories and practices that emerge from organizing with Asian sex worker communities embedded in complex migration networks that span East Asia\, Southeast Asia\, and North America. The dominant anti-trafficking discourse in relation to migrant sex work reinforces policing and surveillance networks\, stigmatizes sex workers\, and isolates migrants\, with the result that it often harms those who it is meant to “save.” \nAlthough multiple models of policing sex work\, including global anti-trafficking effortas full criminalization (in the US)\, buyer criminalization (the Swedish model)\, legalization (in the Netherlands)\, and full decriminalization (as in New Zealand)\, currently compete in activist\, governmental\, and policy-making circles\, they all disproportionately affect migrant sex workers. Understanding these policies\, discourses and their power within contemporary governance also requires revisiting racialized and gendered histories that must be traced back to Cold War geopolitics and earlier. \nBased on research and organizing in China\, Hong Kong\, Thailand\, the Philippines\, Canada\, and the United States\, the speakers here insist that we think of sex work alongside rather than in contrast to other forms of work\, shifting from criminal to labor law frameworks. The implications of migrant sex work organizing go beyond policy\, suggesting new ways for transnational communities\, arranged by differences of privilege based on language\, education\, immigration and citizenship status\, race\, gender\, sexuality\, and forms of sex work\, to imagine futures beyond criminalization and toward liberation. This panel will be followed by a Q & A and then a series of small breakout group discussions. \nThis event is organized by Red Canary Song\, a community group based in NYC focused on migrant and Asian sex worker rights.

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.

Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies Event\n  \nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nHao Su\, Director of Center for Strategic and Peace Studies and Professor \nDepartment of Diplomacy\, China Foreign Affairs University \nModerated by: \nPeter Clement\, Visiting Senior Research Scholar \nArnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies; \nAdjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs \nColumbia University \n  \nSince the modern times\, the world has undergone three waves of globalization. The first wave started from 500 years ago\, with the European countries connecting the world by means of the opening of new sea-routes\, the great discoveries of geography and the establishment of global colonial system. This is a linear globalization based on power. The second wave started at the end of WWII. The establishment of a series of US-led international institutions linked the world into a systematic international society. This is a flat globalization based on institutions. Nowadays\, the third wave of globalization is under way. The rise of emerging newly-economies from the developing world and the effect of economic globalization have brought about a trend of re-balance for the world economic pattern. This will be a tridimensional globalization based on governance. Facing the advent of this trend\, the Chinese government has proposed the “Belt and Road Initiative”\, in order to propel the network construction of both worldwide partnerships and regional integration\, with the purpose of promoting the realization of global governance. \n\n\nDr. Hao Su is a distinguished professor in the Department of Diplomacy and founding director of Center for Strategic and Peace Studies at the China Foreign Affairs University (CFAUO).

Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies\, Columbia University \n  \nModerated by: \nTakako Hikotani\, Gerald L. Curtis Associate Professor of Modern Japanese Politics and Foreign Policy \nColumbia University \n  \nOn most international issues\, Japan’s foreign policy broadly tracks that of its U.S. ally. However\, there are exceptions. The clearest current example is Japan’s Russia policy under the Abe administration. While the U.S. National Security Strategy presents Russia as a revisionist power that presents a challenge to U.S. values and interests\, Japan’s National Security Strategy highlights no concerns about Russia’s behaviour and stresses that “it is critical for Japan to advance cooperation with Russia in all areas”. Moreover\, while Washington has progressively tightened sanctions on Russian businesses and officials since 2014\, Tokyo has announced an 8-point economic cooperation plan and has rolled out the red carpet for many individuals under Western sanctions. What accounts for this stark difference in approach? In part\, it is due to Prime Minister Abe’s personal determination to resolve the territorial dispute with Russia before the end of his time in office. However\, Japan’s current policy towards Russia is also shaped by underlying security concerns. Threatened by North Korea and China\, and increasingly worried about the endurance of the U.S. security commitment to the region\, Japanese strategists have judged that positive relations with Russia are essential for national security.  \n  \n  \n James D.J. Brown is an associate professor of Political Science at Temple University\, Japan Campus. Professor Brown’s current research focuses on Russian-Japanese relations\, with particular regard to the territorial dispute over the Northern Territories/Southern Kurils. He also continues to work on the relationship between energy and foreign policy. Further to these topics\, he has previously published research on the Soviet-Afghan War\, media reporting of the Syrian conflict\, and Edward Said’s Orientalism. He was the winner of the Political Science Association’s award for the best article published in Politics in 2010. Professor Brown received his PhD International Relations\, University of Aberdeen\, PGDip Russian Language\, University of Glasgow\, MRes Political Research\, University of Aberdeen\, MSc International and European Politics\, University of Edinburgh and BA (Hons.) Philosophy and Politics\, University of York. His previous academic appointments include Visiting Post-Doctoral Research Fellow\, Hosei University (2012-2013)\, Teaching Fellow\, University of Aberdeen (2010-2011)\, Teaching Assistant\, University of Aberdeen (2008-2010). \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Lecture and Panels event. \n  \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nNovember 14\, 2019\n4:00 PM – 6:00 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 1302 \n420 West 118th Street \n  URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/japans-russia-policy-under-the-abe-administration-why-tokyo-does-not-share-washingtons-threat-perception/ CATEGORIES:Panels and Lectures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191114T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191114T133000 DTSTAMP:20191107T172528Z CREATED:20191107T172516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191107T172528Z UID:20565-1573732800-1573738200@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:Social Movement and Changing Identity in Hong Kong DESCRIPTION:China Center for Social Policy Event\nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nXiaogang Wu \, Chair Professor at the Division of Social Science and the Division of Public Policy \nHong Kong University of Science and Technology \nColumbia University \nNumerous studies have shown that the national identity has declined over time in Hong Kong\, especially since 2008. The decline is particularly prominent among young generated and highly educated groups. The identity politics is often intertwined with social movement in recent years. Based on the longitudinal data of the Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics (HKPSSD) in 2013 and 2015\, respectively\, Professor Wu investigated the impact of social movement in reconstructing participants’ identity. Results from fixed – effect models show that participation in the Occupy Central has led to stronger local identity and weaker national identity.  These findings shed new lights on the theory of identity formation. \nAbout Speaker: \n\n\n\nXiaogang Wu is Chair Professor at the Division of Social Science and the Division of Public Policy at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)\, and Director of the HKUST Center for Applied Social and Economic Research (CASER). His research interests include social inequality and mobility\, education\, gender and family\, urban sociology\, survey\, and quantitative methods.  Professor Wu has been the PI of the two longitudinal urban household data collection projects: “Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamics (HKPSSD)” since 2011\, and “Shanghai Urban Neighborhood Survey” (SUNS) since 2015.  He is currently leading a research team to study various issues in the two cities.

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 URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/understanding-climate-change-tibetan-plateau/ CATEGORIES:70th Anniversary END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191112T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191112T190000 DTSTAMP:20191021T201640Z CREATED:20191007T144326Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191021T201640Z UID:19862-1573578000-1573585200@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion of Boys for Sale (売買ボーイズ) DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\n  \nPlease join us for a film screening of Boys for Sale (売買ボーイズ)  and discussion with: \n  \nIan Thomas Ash\, filmmaker and producer \nModerated by:  \nKim Brandt\, Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute \nColumbia University \n  \nThe event will focus on the screening of the 2017 documentary film Boys for Sale (売買ボーイズ) followed by remarks by the producer\, Ian Thomas Ash. \nAbout the film: In the Tokyo district of Shinjuku 2-chome there are bars that specialize in “Urisen”\, young guys who have sex with men. Featuring candid interviews and interspersed with animation detailing the awkward\, sweet\, and sometimes horrific situations these young sex workers experience\, the boys for sale boldly tell their stories of life in the Tokyo underground. This documentary is an illuminating look into a rarely seen world that tantalizingly shows the humanity of sex work. \nAbout the speaker: \nBorn in America\, Ian Thomas Ash earned an MA in Film and Television Production at the University of Bristol\, UK\, in 2005. His first feature documentary\, ‘the ballad of vicki and jake’ (2006)\, received the Prix du Canton Vaud prize at the 2006 Visions du Reél International Documentary Film Festival in Nyon\, Switzerland. Ian’s two feature documentaries about children living in areas of Fukushima contaminated by the 2011 nuclear meltdown\, ‘In the Grey Zone‘ (2012) and ‘A2-B-C‘ (2013)\, have screened at festivals around the world where they have also received multiple awards. \nHis documentaries that followed also dealt with themes surrounding health and medicine in Japan\, starting with ‘-1287‘ (2014) which received numerous awards\, including the Audience Award for Best Feature at the 2015 Nippon Connection Film Festival in Germany and the First Prize in the Asian Competition at the 2015 DMZ Docs Film Festival in Korea.  “Dying at Home” (2016) and “Suturing Cultures” (2017)\, both commissions from NHK World\, are on opposite end of the spectrum: one is about end-of-life care\, while the other is about the future doctors of Japan. \n“Boys for Sale” (2017\, dir. Itako)\, a documentary about male sex workers in Tokyo on which Ian served as Executive Producer\, screened in 40 film festivals across the world\, receiving six awards for Best Feature Documentary. \nIan has lived in Japan for a total of 16 years and has recently completed two documentaries: the feature-length version of his film about end-of-life care in a small village in rural Japan called “おみおくり〜Sending Off〜“\, which received the Audience Award at its World Premier in Germany in May 2019\, and a short called “The Father’s Love Begotten” about the sexual abuse of a young boy which also received the Audience Award at its World Premier in Holland in April 2019. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Arts and Cultures event. \n  \nNo registration required. \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nNovember 12\, 2019\n5:00 PM – 7:00 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918\n420 West 118th Street \n  \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu.

In this talk\, Prof. Terry Lum presents an innovative collaborative stepped care intervention that promotes the coordination between elderly center and community mental health center to provide nonpharmacological intervention to elders with mild to moderate level of depression. \nThe stepped care model was implemented in four districts in Hong Kong between September 2017 and February 2019. In each district\, one community mental health center and one elderly center worked together to implement this stepped care model. A quasi-experimental design was used to study the effectiveness of this intervention. A total of 853 older adults completed the intervention and additional 500 elders were recruited as control. Based on a rich set of measures and multivariate analyses\, this study found that the stepped care model was effective in reducing the levels of depression and anxiety among Chinese older people. Prof. Lum will introduce the stepped care model in detail and discuss its implementation and implications. \nAbout the Speaker: Professor Lum’s research focuses on social policy and evidence based multicomponent intervention for social problems. He is particularly interested in the interface among aging\, culture\, and humanity. He enjoys very much identifying and exploring the Asian perspectives in these topics. Professor Lum works closely with community stakeholders to develop\, implement\, and test various clinical and policy interventions to enhance the well-being of older people. Apart from serving as the Head of the Department of Social Work and Social Administration\, he is the Deputy Convenor of the HKU Strategic Research Theme on Aging and Associate Director of the Sau Po Center on Aging. Since 2011\, Professor Lum has received more than HK$79 million external research funding (US$10.1 million) as the principle investigator or co-principle investigator. His research findings on aging-in-place have led to the development of aging-in-place program for low income elders in public rental housing estates of the Hong Kong Housing Society. His research findings in long term care policy have led to the development of new assessment and service matching systems and reshaped the long term care infrastructure of Hong Kong. In 2001\, Professor Lum was awarded the prestigious Hartford Geriatric Social Work Faculty Scholar award. In 2011\, he was elected as a Fellow by the Gerontological Society of America. In 2016\, he was awarded the Career Leadership Award by the Association of Gerontology Education in Social Work (AGESW) in the United States. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute 2019-2020 Lecture Series event. \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nNovember 12\, 2019\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM\n  \nAddress\n\nSchool of Social Work\, Room C03 \n1255 Amsterdam Ave \n  \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu. \n  \nCosponsored by the China Center for Social Policy and the Columbia School of Social Work.

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.

In this revisionist history\, Juhn Ahn challenges the long-accepted Confucian critique that Buddhism had become so powerful and corrupt that the state had to suppress it. When newly rising elites (many with strong ties to the Mongols) used lavish donations to Buddhist institutions to enhance their status\, older elites defended their own adherence to this time-honored system by arguing that their donations were linked to virtue. This emphasis on virtue and the consequent separation of religion from wealth facilitated the Confucianization of Korea and the relegation of Buddhism to the margins of public authority during the Choson dynasty. \n  \nRead an interview conducted by Ross Yelsey with Dr. Ahn here:  \n  \nJuhn Ahn is the author of Buddhas and Ancestors: Religion and Wealth in Fourteenth-Century Korea (University of Washington Press\, 2018) \n  \nThis is a Lectures and Panels event. \n  \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nThursday\, November 7\, 2019 \n4:00 PM-5:30 PM \n  \nAddress\n\nKent Hall Lounge \n  \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu. \n  \nCosponsored by: The Academy of Korean Studies\, Seoul Korea; the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/lost-graves-and-recycled-mourning-sheds-how-the-late-koryo-elite-took-the-drama-out-of-afterlife-a-book-talk-with-juhn-ahn/ CATEGORIES:Panels and Lectures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191107T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191107T160000 DTSTAMP:20191024T145513Z CREATED:20190905T134238Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191024T145513Z UID:18898-1573137000-1573142400@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:Top down or bottom up? Politics and Society in Thailand and Indonesia DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\n  \nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nAlex Arifianto\, Research Fellow\, Indonesia Programme\, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies \nNanyang Technological University – Singapore \n  \nChristopher Ankersen\, Clinical Associate Professor \nNYU Center for Global Affairs  \n  \nModerated by: \nAmy Freedman\, Department Chair and Professor of Political Science and International Studies \nLong Island University Post  \n  \nThis panel discussion will look at the broad question of whether changes in society are happening as a result of political manipulation from the top; or because of substantive changes within culture\, values and beliefs. \n  \nDr. Arifianto’s talk\, titled “From Identity Politics to New Sectarianization? Political Islam and the 2019 Indonesian Election”\, will look at the 2019 Indonesian elections and ask if the polarization and divisiveness is a new and lasting feature of Indonesian society\, or if it is a function of specific electoral dynamics unique to these candidates and this moment in time. \n  \nProfessor Ankersen’s talk\, titled “Culture in Action: The Case of Contemporary Thai Politics”\, will examine the cultural images being used to construct oppressive strictures in contemporary Thai politics and explore whether these structures are manifestations of long-standing cultural norms or if they are being manipulated from elites for regime survival.  \n  \nAbout Speakers: \nAlexander R.

Once introduced\, new policies create groups with powerful incentives to defend social policies from fundamental changes\, while outsiders focus their demands on inclusion into existing policies. Fundamental policy re-design\, let alone revocation and replacement\, becomes politically infeasible. This talk examines social and labor policies in cases where we might expect them to be most amenable to fundamental changes: post-revolutionary Shanghai and post-colonial Bombay. While both regimes made deep commitments to socialist transformation\, housing and labor policies were more incremental than transformative.  Using the concept of “social citizenship\,” this talk explores how social policy changes favoring labor market “insiders” over the urban poor. The policies enacted during the mid-20th century exerted a powerful influence on the way that social policies were developed to address the disruptions of liberalization and globalization in the late 20th century. \n  \nAbout Speaker: \nMark W. Frazier is Professor of Politics at The New School for Social Research and Academic Director of the India China Institute at The New School (New York City). His research interests focus on labor and social policy in China\, and more recently on political conflict over urbanization\, migration\, and citizenship in China and India. His forthcoming book\, The Power of Place: Contentious Politics in Twentieth Century Shanghai and Bombay (Cambridge University Press\, 2019) examines long-term changes in political geographies and patterns of popular protest in the two cities. He is also the author of Socialist Insecurity: Pensions and the Politics of Uneven Development in China (Cornell University Press\, 2010) and The Making of the Chinese Industrial Workplace (Cambridge University Press\, 2002). He is also Co-Editor of the SAGE Handbook of Contemporary China (SAGE Publications\, 2018). He has authored op-ed pieces and essays for The New York Times\, Daedalus\, and The Diplomat. Frazier serves on the editorial board of China Quarterly and is a Faculty Associate at the Columbia University’s China Center for Social Policy. He has been a Public Intellectuals Program fellow at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations since 2005. Before assuming his current position at The New School in 2012\, he held a chaired professorship in Chinese Politics at the University of Oklahoma and was the Luce Assistant Professor in the Political Economy of East Asia at Lawrence University\, a liberal arts college in Wisconsin. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nNovember 06\, 2019\n12:15 PM – 1:45 PM\n  \nAddress\n\nSchool of Social Work\, Room C03 \n1255 Amsterdam Ave \n  \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu. \nCosponsored by: China Center for Social Policy at Columbia University URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/the-historical-roots-of-social-policy-exclusion-shanghai-and-bombay-in-the-1950s/ CATEGORIES:Panels and Lectures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191101T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191103T170000 DTSTAMP:20191016T202600Z CREATED:20191016T202000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191016T202600Z UID:20179-1572634800-1572800400@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:“New Directions in Japanese Studies” DESCRIPTION:Weatherhead East Asian Institute Event\nPlease join us for a workshop with: \nYan CHANG (University of Minnesota)\nStephen CHOI (Columbia University)\nCarol GLUCK (Columbia University)\nHarry HAROOTUNIAN (Columbia University)\nTianyuan HUANG (Columbia University)\nMairead HYNES (Columbia University)\nIWASAKI Minoru (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies)\nNARITA Ryūichi (Japan Women’s University)\nJordan SAND (Georgetown University)\nIsaac TAN (Columbia University)\nTOBA Kōji (Waseda University)\nTSUBOI Hideto (International Research Center for Japanese Studies)\nWATANABE Eri (Shizuoka University)\nWATANABE Naoki (Musashi University)\nXinyi ZHAO (Columbia University) \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian 70th Anniversary event. \nPlease contact the workshop administrator\, Isaac Tan (ct2810@columbia.edu)\, to register. \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nFRIDAY\, NOVEMBER 1\n7:00 – 8:30 pm \nVIDEO SCREENING\nJapanese “Magic Lantern” Films of the 1950s\nIntroduced by TOBA Kōji (Waseda University) \nSATURDAY\, NOVEMBER 2\n10:00 – 10:30 am \nCOFFEE & REGISTRATION\n10:30 am – 12:30 pm \nKEYNOTE LECTURE “Reconsidering Historical Comparability”\nHarry HAROOTUNIAN (Columbia University)\nResponse\nCarol GLUCK (Columbia University)\n12:30 – 2:00 pm\nLUNCH BREAK\n2:00 – 5:30 pm \nPANEL ONE – New Directions in Japanese Studies: Perspectives from Japan\nIWASAKI Minoru (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies)\nNARITA Ryūichi (Japan Women’s University)\nTOBA Kōji (Waseda University)\nTSUBOI Hideto (International Research Center for Japanese Studies)\nWATANABE Eri (Shizuoka University)\nWATANABE Naoki (Musashi University) \nDiscussion will be in Japanese & English. \nSUNDAY\, NOVEMBER 3\n10:00 – 10:30 am\nCOFFEE & REGISTRATION\n10:30 am – 12:30 pm \nPANEL TWO –New Directions in Japanese Studies: Perspectives from America\nInformal presentations by current doctoral students about their research interests.

This “long decade” is perhaps most often remembered for its state-led turn from central planning to a market approach to economic and social governance and the increasing integration of China into the world economy. These years also witnessed the emergence of a “cultural fever” characterized by artistic experimentations with media old and new at all levels of society. Existing scholarship on the 1980s has fruitfully examined economic\, political\, material and cultural arenas of development. What has been lacking\, however\, are studies exploring interconnectedness of these arenas at both conceptual and practical levels. \n  \nWe propose a re-evaluation of these years through attention to the Chinese character neng ( 能 ). Connoting both the “capacity” associated with individual and collective subjects as well as the natural and material “energy” required to fuel ambitious Reform era ideals of economic and social development\, the overlapping meanings of this character encourage a focus on the interconnectedness of psychical and material economies during the country’s search for a collective orientation after Mao. Our workshop connects individual and collective projects of becoming to the broadly-defined ecological environments where notions of resource and capacity have been reconceptualised through experimentation and contestation at various levels of production – intellectual\, social\, industrial\, artistic\, and personal. \n  \nConnecting approaches informed by neng to the long 1980s might take a variety of forms. Papers can revisit specific debates\, cultural products\, and areas of experiences from Deng era China or consider the legacies of this long decade through explorations of more recent events. We might ask questions about how extraction\, availability\, redistribution or “release” of human and natural resources associated with the early years of reform have come to enable or shut down possibilities of living and imagining personal and shared pasts and futures. How have fluctuations of emotions such as excitement\, anxiety and despair been mobilized alongside shifting circulations of materials and resources? Meanwhile\, how have spheres of media\, art and culture intertwined with the material economies of the society\, and how did they interact with social\, economic and technological changes? What have been the ways in which these media have reconfigured realms of experience? Finally\, how have memories and representations of key happenings in the 1980s shifted in subsequent decades as China has further integrated into the global capitalist order? \nThe workshop welcomes attention to vectors of energy\, capacity and intensity—or their opposites: entropy\, incapacity\, and lethargy—as they travel from one form to another across social\, economic\, political and psychic realms and refigure individual capabilities and responsibilities. We intend to experiment with an interdisciplinary\, and ecological\, approach to exploring the lived experiences\, cultural articulations\, and historical legacies of these “turbulent” and “surging” times. \n  \nThis event is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute’s 70th Anniversary Event and Workshops\, Conferences\, and Symposia Event. \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nOctober 31\, 2019\n5:00 PM – 6:30 PM\nNovember 1\, 2019\n9:00 AM – 5:30 PM\n  \nADDRESS\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street \n  \nPROGRAM DETAILS\n\nThursday\, October 31\, 2019\n5:00 PM- 6:30 PM Keynote Speech (in Chinese) \nTuo Li (Columbia University)  \n  \nFriday\, November 1st\n9:00 AM Opening Remarks\nMyron Cohen (Columbia University)  \n  \n9:10 AM – 10:40 AM Panel One \nRalph Litzinger (Duke University)\, “The Afterlives of the Long 1980s: Thoughts toward an Ethnography of Dust” \nNick Bartlett (Barnard College)\, “Down from the Mountains: Reconsidering a 1980s Mining Boom” \nMayfair Yang (UC Santa Barbara)\, “Religious Environmentalism in the Anthropocene: Potentialities and Actualities in China and the U.S.” \nDiscussant: Eugenia Lean (Columbia University) \n  \n10:40 AM – 10:55 AM Coffee break \n  \n10: 55 AM- 12:25 PM Panel Two \nPaola Iovene (University of Chicago)\, “Nylon Flowers for the Premier: Mourning Zhou Enlai in Chinese Cinema at the Turn of the 1980s” \nAngela Zito (New York University)\, “1979/1984: of Scholarship\, Sinological Tourism and Thermoses” \nLily Chumley (New York University) \nDiscussant: Yukiko Koga (CUNY Hunter College) \n  \n12:25 PM – 1:15 PM Lunch \n  \n1:15 PM – 2:45 PM Panel Three \nTani Barlow (Rice University)\, “本能 and Human Capacity” \nYing Qian (Columbia University)\, “The Rise of the Brain: Envisioning Human Potential in 1980s China” \nJulie Chu (University of Chicago)\, “Abduction\, Praxis and the Captive Affordances of ‘the Law’” \nDiscussant: Lydia Liu (Columbia University) \n  \n2:45 PM -3:00 PM Coffee break\n  \n3:00 PM- 4:30 PM Panel Four \nCorey Byrnes (Northwestern University)\, “Imagined Islands and the Potential Nation” \nJoshua Freeman (Princeton University)\, “After Utopia: Revolution as Tradition in Reform-Era Xinjiang” \nErin Huang (Princeton University)\, “Urban Horror: Neoliberal Post-Socialism and the Limits of Visibility” \nDiscussant: Louisa Schein (Rutgers University) \n  \n4:40 PM- 5:40 PM Round Table\n  \n  \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu.

Following a trail of leads over the great internet fire wall of China\, she discovers not just the fate of her friend\, but the truth behind Sichuan’s fatal building code violations\, a jaw-dropping array of human rights abuses across China and comes to the realization that the entire internet in China is a state controlled fiction. \n  \nHua’s awakening takes her into a new world of dissidents\, journalists and human rights lawyers. As she begins her own reporting\, pressure from the government is swift\, and her world is turned upside down. She is forced out of her job and placed under surveillance. One by one\, her new friends are arrested or detained. Phones are tapped and secretive threats and warnings are made. But Hua cannot turn a blind eye to the corruption and she pays the price. \n  \nWhen ordinary Chinese citizens go to extraordinary lengths to fight human rights abuses\, the risks are enormous\, even life-threatening. Broken Harmony reveals Hua’s courageous acts and willingness to lose everything to fight for justice and the rule of law.  \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Arts and Culture event. \nNo registration required. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nOctober 30\, 2019\n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\n  \nAddress\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu.

Since his arrival in New York a month later\, the Ambassador has committed himself to utilizing his years of experience to craft a new chapter in U.S.-Japan relations that will fit the economic and political demands of the 21st century\, as well as the nation each has become. \nAmbassador Yamanouchi grew up in Nagasaki\, Japan\, a place which instilled in him a deep appreciation for peace. In 1984\, he joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and was first posted overseas in Washington\, D.C. As the First Secretary in the Political Section of the Embassy of Japan\, he gained a riveting introduction to U.S. politics through his work with President Clinton’s second administration. Ambassador Yamanouchi was then posted to the Embassy of Japan in Korea in 2001 as Counsellor\, where he worked as part of the advance team for then-Prime Minister Koizumi’s first visit to North Korea. \nAfter returning to Japan in 2003\, he was assigned successive posts at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs such as Director of the First Southeast Asia Division and Director of the Press Division. In 2007\, he became Director of the First North American Division and found himself deeply involved in U.S. politics at another historic moment – the election of President Barack Obama. As the head of the primary agency in charge of U.S.-Japan relations\, he was critical in sound policy development which assisted in reinforcing the strong alliance between the two nations. \nIn 2009\, the Ambassador was selected to be the Executive Assistant on Diplomatic Affairs for Prime Minister Hatoyama\, and then for Prime Minister Kan. In this capacity\, he participated in high level meetings with heads of state from around the world. \nThis was followed by a promotion in 2011 to the position of Deputy Director General for the Asian Affairs Bureau where he focused on regional issues with neighboring countries. He was key in negotiating with China on maritime issues and spearheaded the inaugural round of “Japan-China High Level Consultations on Maritime Issues.” \nIn 2013\, he was posted to the Embassy of Japan in Washington\, D.C. as Minister for Economic Affairs\, where he made tremendous contributions to the development of Japan-U.S. economic relations and also played an active role in Japan’s negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. \nThose three years of experience in economic affairs in D.C. were invaluable to his diplomatic projectory. In 2016\, he was promoted to the position of Assistant Minister/Director-General for the Economic Affairs Bureau and became a key player in the formation of Japanese foreign economic policy. That year he again witnessed a critical juncture in international affairs – the election of President Donald Trump and Brexit\, among other major global changes – and contributed greatly to the advancement of international economic policies for Japan\, including the U.S.-Japan Economic Dialogue\, promotion of the TPP and Economic Partnership Agreements. \nAmbassador Yamanouchi graduated from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies and went on to receive a Masters in Political Science from Wesleyan University in Middletown\, Connecticut.

Li\, University Chair Professor \nPeking University \n  \nModerated by: \nAndrew Nathan\, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science \nColumbia University \n  \nEvent summary: Education reform is one of the most important and difficult tasks in all nations\, especially in today’s China.  In additional to the intrinsic challenges of education per se\, the process is highly complicated by factors such as culture\,  politics\, economic development imbalance\, etc. This discussion starts with a personal Quixotic adventure to push for reform at Peking University and high schools in China in the past few years. A relentless effort was made to cultivate next generation of leaders who have deep understanding of science and humanity\, critical and innovative thinking\,  global citizen perspective\, courage and perseverance in character— to “fight the world’s fight”. Prof. Chenjan Li will discuss the successes and failures in real cases\, and explore the logic behind. \n  \nDr. Chenjian Li is currently the University Chair Professor\, Peking University. Dr. Li attended Peking University for his undergraduate education\, and Peking Union Medical College for training in medicine. He received his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics from Purdue University\, USA; postdoctoral training at the Rockefeller University. Dr. Li was an assistant professor and associate professor at Weill Medical College of Cornell University\, and then Alex and Shirley Aidekman Endowed Chair Professor of Neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine of NYU. Dr. Li embarked on a new journey to Peking University in 2013. Between 2013 and 2019\, he completed his tenure as the Vice Provost of Peking University\, Executive Dean of Yuanpei College\, and Professor and Associate Dean of School of Life Sciences. Dr. Li’s scientific research focuses on exploring the molecular and cellular basis of higher brain functions\, the mechanisms of neurological diseases and cancer therapy. His laboratory pioneered methods of generating transgenic animal models for these studies. For his leading role in this line of research\, Dr. Li received C.H. Lee Scholar Award and National Service Award (USA). After he moved to Peking University\, Dr. Li continued to serve as a standing member of the National Institute of Health Study Section for Neurological Diseases (CDIN)\, USA until 2017. Dr. Li is also devoted to education development and reforms\, ranging from high school\, undergraduate\, graduate and medical student education. For his excellent teaching\, he received a student voted “Best Teacher Award” in 2015 at PKU\, world-wide Chinese Biological Investigator Society “Outstanding Teacher Award” in 2016\, and faculty-voted “Zheng Changxue Award” and “Excellence in Teaching” in 2019 at PKU. Dr. Li studied literature\, history and bio-medicine. He remains an active writer. His translation of “What do you care what other people think?” (Richard P. Feynman)\, published by the Chinese Social Science Publisher in 1999\, won a Chinese National Book Award in 2000. \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Lecture and Panels event. \n  \nNo registration required. \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nOctober 28\, 2019\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\n  \nAddress\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street \n  \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King ak4364@columbia.edu. \n  URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/an-ant-who-shakes-the-tree-%e8%9d%bc%e8%9a%81%e6%92%bc%e5%a4%a7%e6%a0%91%ef%bc%9apersonal-experiences-in-education-reform-in-china/ CATEGORIES:Panels and Lectures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191025T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191025T193000 DTSTAMP:20191025T133550Z CREATED:20190923T201146Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191025T133550Z UID:19514-1572026400-1572031800@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:Thieves\, Monks\, and “Artwork”: The Changing Fate of Icons at Local Monastery in Modernizing Korea DESCRIPTION:Center for Korean Research Event\n  \nPlease join us for a lecture with: \nYoun-mi Kim\, Assistant Professor \n Ewha Womans University \n  \nThis is a University Seminars event. \n  \nOpen to CUID holders and Columbia affiliates.

As these new immigrants from Nepal\, Bhutan\, and North India\, as well as diasporic Tibetans from India and culturally Tibetan regions in China\, have settled into New York\, their senses of identity have begun to transform. How are they finding a sense of community\, navigating transnational and intergenerational cultural dynamics\, and responding to the fluid relationship between ‘home’ and being ‘over here’ in New York? What does language have to do with this? This presentation will address these questions by describing Voices of the Himalaya\, a collaborative research project that uses the medium of video interviews and short documentary film to explore the lived experiences of Himalayan New Yorkers.              \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration required. \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nOctober 25\, 2019\n12:00 PM – 1:30 PM\n  \nAddress\n\nInternational Affairs Building\, Room 918 \n420 West 118th Street \n  \nCosponsored by: Modern TIbetan Studies Program URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/himalyan-language-documentation-in-new-york-city/ CATEGORIES:Panels and Lectures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191024T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191024T213000 DTSTAMP:20191014T143454Z CREATED:20191014T143101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191014T143454Z UID:20109-1571945400-1571952600@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:Trembling Mountain (2016) Film Screening DESCRIPTION:Modern Tibetan Studies Event\nPlease join us for a film screening of Trembling Mountain and discussion with: \nKesang Tseten\, filmmaker \n  \nAmong the worst hit in Nepal’s 2015 earthquake was paradise-like Langtang\, a prime trekking destination. A glacial collapse caused an avalanche of rock\, ice and mud\, resulting in an airblast\, equal to half the force of the Hiroshima atom bomb. \nIn showing the much dwindled community’s response to the disaster\, until their resettlement a year later\, the film reveals  the transformation\, profound and yet often taken for granted\, that has been sweeping the Himalaya over the last decades. \n  \nKesang Tseten’s documentaries have won several awards in film festivals in Nepal and been screened in international film festivals such as the International Documentary Film Festival of Amsterdam\, Leipzig International Documentary Festival\, Yamagata\, Thessaloniki\, Krakow\, Viennale\, the Margaret Mead Film Festival. We Homes Chaps\, On the road with the red god: Machhendranath\, We Corner People\, Who will be a Gurkha and his trilogy of films on Nepali migrant workers in the Gulf have won wide recognition. Tseten has been recipient of grants from Busan\, IDFA and the Sundance Institute for his films. He wrote the original screenplay for the feature Mukundo\, which was Nepal’s entry to the academy awards\, and KARMA. Before filmmaking Tseten wrote and edited and was associate editor of Himal Magazine in its early years. He is a graduate of Dr Graham’s School in India and Amherst College and Columbia University in the US.                          \n  \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Arts and Culture event. \n  \nNo registration required. \n$12 Suggested Donation \n  \nEVENT DETAILS\n\nOctober 24\, 2019\n7:30 PM – 9:30 PM\n  \nAddress\n\nMaysles Documentary Center \n343 Lenox Ave. (between W.127th and W.128th St) \n  \nCosponsored by: Maysles Documentary Center URL:https://archive.weai.columbia.edu/event/trembling-mountain-2016-film-screening/ CATEGORIES:Arts and Culture END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191024T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191025T180000 DTSTAMP:20191009T142115Z CREATED:20191008T144819Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191009T142115Z UID:19899-1571940000-1572026400@archive.weai.columbia.edu SUMMARY:Thinking the Ecological in Media Studies DESCRIPTION:Department of Middle Eastern\, South Asian\, and African Studies Event\nPlease join us for a workshop with: \n  \nStefan Andriopoulos\, Columbia University \nWeihong Bao\, UC Berkley \nZeynep Celik Alexander\, Columbia University \nNadine Chan\, Claremont Graduate University \nYuriko Furuhata\, McGill University \nJennifer Gabrys\, University of Cambridge \nBishnupriya Ghosh\, UC Santa Barbara \nBrian R.
