SUMMARY:China’s Anthropogenic Methane Emissions: A Review of Current Bottom-Up Inventories
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Zhang Bo\, Visiting Scholar\, Harvard-China Project; Associate Professor\, State Key Laboratory of Coal Resources and Safe Mining\, China University of Mining & Technology (Beijing) \nMethane (CH4) is the second ranking anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG)\, with a global warming potential (GWP) 28 times greater than that of carbon dioxide (CO2) on a mass basis. In contrast to the ever-increasing focus at China’s CO2 emissions\, its CH4 emissions have received little attention. Yet China is believed to be the world’s largest CH4 emitter\, contributing more to climate change than the total CO2 emitted by many developed countries. Increasing CH4 emissions may be quietly undermining China’s efforts to mitigate its total GHG emissions. This seminar will present an overview of bottom-up estimation of China’s CH4 emissions\, including recent research advances and the limits of current understanding. \nSponsored by Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy and Environment\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences \nhttps://chinaproject.harvard.edu/event/china%E2%80%99s-anthropogenic-methane-emissions-review-current-bottom-inventories

SUMMARY:Fox’s Spirit under Tiger’s Might: The Struggles for Identity and Integration among the Hakka Community in Southern Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nguyen Ngoc Tho\, Advanced Researcher\, Faculty of Cultural Studies\, University of Social Science and Humanities\, Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh City; HYI Visiting Scholar\nChair/discussant: Robert Weller\, Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, Boston University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are around 823\,000 ethnic Chinese in Vietnam\, of which 95% are living in southern Vietnam. Due to historical and social backgrounds\, the dialectic groups (Cantonese\, Hokkien\, Hakka\, Teochiew and Hainan) are quite distinct and separate from each other. Each group maintains their own pantheon of gods and goddesses\, in which the majorities come to worship Tian Hou and Guan Gong/Guan Di. The Hakkas in Bien Hoa (Dong Nai province) uniquely worship the craft master gods (祖师). This remarkably creates a challenging gap among the Chinese dialectic groups as well as discloses the heterodox nature in their own tradition under the views of local standardized authority. Under sophisticated backgrounds and serious pressures\, the Hakkas decided to transform the reputation of their long-lasting craft master worship into a more integrative model – the Tian Hou cult\, by overriding the new cult on the surface. “A fox’s spirit is under a tiger’s might\,” the open discourse has been widespread\, although there have been almost no significant changes in either belief or practice. Remarkably\, the transformation currently seems to be oddly managed and not stabilized.\n \nAs a matter of fact\, the local Hakka elites have brainstormed and implemented the change under the aims of both cross-dialectic group binding and identity preservation. Furthermore\, they also struggle for an advanced and manageable integration process into broader Vietnamese society. This talk will investigate the disguise to seek the continuous efforts toward “liturgical standardization” and solidarity binding through the charismatic efforts of the local Hakka elites\, through which the research further discusses multilateral interaction and hidden discourses of the partners engaged.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/struggles-identity-and-integration-among-ethnic-chinese-communities-southern-vietnam-case
