SUMMARY:Harvard East Asia Society Conference — Delineations: Temporality\, Boundaries\, and Imaginaries of East Asia
DESCRIPTION:The Harvard East Asia Society (HEAS) Graduate Student Conference is an annual two-day event that provides an interdisciplinary forum for graduate students to exchange ideas and discuss current research on topics related to Asia. This year\, we are excited to host twelve panels featuring Harvard faculty and participants from around the world\, as well as keynote addresses by Professor Paul Roquet of MIT and Professor Yoon Sun Yang of Boston University.  \n\n\n\nThe HEAS 2026 conference is entitled “Delineations: Temporality\, Boundaries\, and Imaginaries of East Asia.” Through this theme\, we aim to explore a simple question: What do we do when we draw the line? We delineate to describe\, to trace\, to portray\, and to mark out the vagueness and ambiguities that find purchase in scholarship. How does navigating between liminalities inform our understanding of East Asia? This year’s conference asks scholars to re-examine how a world created entirely of ascriptions reveals intrinsic and extrinsic connections among subjects\, space\, borders\, history\, and time.  \n\n\n\nThe conference will run from February 13-14\, 2026\, in Harvard CGIS South. More information can be found on its website here.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:How US Internet Optimism Turned to AI Alarm with China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Graham Webster\, Stanford University \n\n\n\nUS thinkers once looked to the future of Internet technology in China with dreams of liberalization. China and the US co-built and jointly profited from the 2000s digital economy and the smartphone revolution\, yet in the 2010s both countries’ governments became increasingly anxious about their vulnerability and interdependence in the digital sphere. By 2020\, anxieties combined with trade conflict\, Covid recriminations\, and AI futurism\, cementing a rivalry mindset that today shapes partial decoupling and conditions of continued interconnection. This talk traces how US officials and thinkers acted on their visions of the future\, and how reality intervened. \n\n\n\nGraham Webster is a lecturer and research scholar in the Program on Geopolitics\, Technology\, and Governance at Stanford University\, where he leads the DigiChina Project. He specializes in technology policy and development in China and US-China relations. His reporting and commentary has appeared in WIRED\, Foreign Affairs\, and the MIT Technology Review\, among others. Graham was previously a senior fellow and lecturer at Yale Law School\, where he was responsible for the Paul Tsai China Center’s Track 2 dialogues between the United States and China. In the past\, he wrote a CNET News blog on technology and society from Beijing\, worked at the Center for American Progress\, and taught East Asian politics at NYU’s Center for Global Affairs. Graham holds a master’s degree in East Asian studies from Harvard University and a bachelor’s degree in journalism and international studies from Northwestern University. He is based in Oakland\, California. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:The Death of Strategic Ambiguity: Middle Power Survival in the New U.S.-China Cold War
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Seong-Hyon Lee\, Senior Fellow\, George H. W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations; Associate\, Harvard University Asia Center \n\n\n\nModerator: Andrew Erickson\, Visiting Scholar\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University; Professor of Strategy\, China Maritime Studies Institute\, U.S. Naval War College \n\n\n\nRegistration appreciated for planning purposes. \n\n\n\nFor decades\, East Asian middle powers like South Korea thrived by navigating a delicate geopolitical balance—relying on the United States for security architecture while depending on China for economic prosperity. However\, as the “New Cold War” intensifies\, this era of “riding two boats” has abruptly ended. Faced with shifting U.S. alliance postures\, escalating technology and trade frictions\, and the pressing realities of nuclear deterrence on the Korean Peninsula\, nations can no longer afford strategic ambiguity. This talk will explore how middle powers are being forced into strategic clarity\, recalibrating their foreign policies to survive a prolonged rivalry between Washington and Beijing. Drawing on recent developments in international security\, we will examine the difficult choices ahead for East Asia’s most critical geopolitical fault lines. \n\n\n\nDr. Seong-Hyon Lee is a Senior Fellow at the George H. W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations and an Associate at the Harvard University Asia Center. He is the author of The New Cold War: U.S.-China Rivalry and the Future of Global Power (2025). He specializes in U.S.-China strategic competition\, East Asian security\, and North Korea and Korean Peninsula geopolitics. \n\n\n\nhttps://asiacenter.harvard.edu/events/death-strategic-ambiguity-middle-power-survival-new-us-china-cold-war \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Against Erasure: Uyghur Poems\, Imprisoned Souls\, and the Act of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aziz Isa Elkun\, University of London \n\n\n\nIn the face of the Chinese government1s systemic efforts to silence the Uyghur people\, the written word becomes a profound act of resistance. Against this backdrop of cultural erasure\, two recently pubIished English-language poetry anthologies – Uyghur Poems and Imprisoned Souls\, stand as vital testaments to love\, survival\, and defiance. These works serve as both a sanctuary for a threatened identity and a resonant cry for justice. Together\, they form more than a mere collection of verses; they are a living archive for both the present and the future. They prove that while bodies may be confined and traditions targeted for erasure\, the human pulse of love and collective memory remains indestructible. As enduring evidence of the Uyghur spirit\, these works carry a cultural legacy to the next generation and awaken the consciousness of humanity as a whole\, offering a glimmer of hope for the future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Butchered Rooms: Precarity\, Resilience\, and the Politics of Informal Housing in Post-Handover Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ruby YS LAI\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Sociology and Social Policy\, Lingnan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2025-26Chair/Discussant: Ya-Wen Lei\, Professor of Sociology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIn the past decades\, the growing housing crisis has destabilized individual housing tenure and exacerbated an everyday sense of insecurity\, especially among low-income renters in megacities\, where housing costs continuously soar under increased financialization and commodification. How do individuals and families build a home while facing heightened precariousness? This talk argues that housing precarity is an outcome of inequality resulting from the macro political-economic structure rather than a condition of poverty\, by focusing on one of the world’s most unaffordable housing markets\, Hong Kong\, and its infamous subdivided units\, also called ‘butchered rooms’—a form of informal housing unit subdivided from an entire compartment\, characterized by an extremely tiny size\, with a median as small as 11m?. Drawing on years of ethnographic and participatory fieldwork and policy analysis\, the talk first illustrates the homemaking strategies through which occupants of butchered rooms navigate the spatio-material constraints of their built environment and the processes of resilience building. The second part of the talk provides a critical analysis of the housing policy regime in Hong Kong during the post-1997 period and unravels the political-economic structures that necessitate the invisible labor of occupants that buffers the consequences of housing inequality resulting from the city’s neoliberal housing regime and developmental urban governance\, which resonate with housing crises in urban areas across the globe. \n\n\n\n\nButchered Rooms: Precarity\, Resilience\, and the Politics of Informal Housing in Post-Handover Hong Kong\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:The OpenClaw Paradox: AI Agents\, Labor Anxiety\, and Radical Pragmatism in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lihui Zhang\, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government Senior Fellow\, Harvard Kennedy School \n\n\n\nIn this study group\, led by M-RCBG Senior Fellow Lihui Zhang\, we will explore how Chinese society demonstrates a distinctive duality in its approach to emerging technologies like AI\, combining both enthusiastic adoption and underlying anxiety. While American and European companies increasingly restrict employee access to AI tools due to security concerns\, Chinese organizations have embraced such technologies nearly universally across workplaces.Paradoxically\, this widespread integration occurs alongside growing public apprehension about workforce displacement. Many Chinese workers express genuine concern that AI will eventually replace human labor\, creating a complex emotional landscape of excitement and fear. This tension reflects broader global conversations about technological advancement and economic transformation in the AI era. China’s unique societal response to technology is precisely what makes it a potential testing ground for how humanity can address the challenges of AI. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Taiwan Studies+ 2.0 Symposium
DESCRIPTION:As Taiwan finds itself reentering into the global conversation today\, where does the field of Taiwan Studies find itself in this historical moment? From the origins of capitalism to the threat of nuclear pollution\, from soundscapes in the authoritarian era to contemporary video games\, from indigenous identities to Cold War activism\, and from geopolitical competition to ecological imaginations – how do we identify different moments of Taiwan’s history as key nodes of global and local processes? This symposium\, now in its second iteration\, seeks to bring together different generations of global Taiwan scholars\, with the goal to foster new linkages and networks for a burgeoning field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
