SUMMARY:Valerie Karplus - China's Climate Policy and Air Quality: From Subnational to Global Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Valerie J. Karplus\, Assistant Professor of Global Economics and Management\, MIT Sloan School of Management \nChina’s future energy mix will have a decisive effect on the world’s ability to meet climate change mitigation goals. This talk will discuss China’s national approach to climate change\, and use a multi-scale modeling approach to analyze the effects of China’s climate pledge on the energy system\, greenhouse gas emissions\, air quality\, and human health. Projected air quality and health co-benefits in Japan\, Korea\, and the U.S. will also be presented. Taken together\, the findings provide a strong case for cooperation among China\, the U.S.\, and other Asian countries to support implementation of China’s climate goals.

SUMMARY:Liu Jingfang - China’s Green Movement: Players\, Style\, and Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Liu Jingfang\, Associate Professor\, School of Journalism\, Fudan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20\nChair/discussant: Karen Thornber\, Professor of Comparative Literature and of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \nWhile China is transforming itself into an economic powerhouse\, it also suffers from dire environmental degradation and crisis. Behind the notorious images of Beijing’s grey sky and smog-obscured landmarks\, frequently portrayed in Western media\, what has been done inside of China trying to change the situation? Who has made efforts and how? This talk gives an introduction of the less-known but growing environmental movement undertaken by diverse players in China over the past two and a half decades. It will examine how the multiple agents and institutions of change interact with each other at different levels\, engage in special coping strategies\, and struggle to activate a green movement of its own style and nature. From a communication perspective\, it will examine\, both empirically and theoretically\, the elements that construct a growing “green public culture” in China and China’s unique path to environmental protection. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/china-s-green-movement-players-style-and-strategy

SUMMARY:International Implications from Contemporary Developments in Chinese Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nHamish Coates\, Professor\, Institute of Education and Director\, Higher Education Division; Deputy Director\, Global Research Center for the Assessment of College and Student Development\, Tsinghua University\nWen Wen\, Associate Professor\, Institute of Education\, Tsinghua University; Deputy Director\, Asian Research Center\, Tsinghua University; Fulbright Scholar (2019-2020)\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University \nDiscussants:\nManja Klemenčič\, Department of Sociology\, Faculty of Arts and Sciences\, Harvard University\nFrancesca Purcell\, Faculty Director\, Higher Education Program\, Graduate School of Education\, Harvard University \nWhile consequences from the growth of Chinese higher education have already reverberated around the world\, we argue in this seminar that further substantial changes are only just starting to emerge. \nThis seminar begins by showing how changes in Chinese higher education over the last two decades have shaped major developments in other countries. \nNext\, it analyses contemporary developments in Chinese higher education\, building on research being led by Tsinghua University’s Institute of Education which touches on institutional governance and leadership\, the construction of infrastructure\, the changing nature of doctorates and the academic profession\, research goals and strategies\, emerging hybrid forms of teaching\, and the cultivation of students. \nThe seminar’s final contribution is to integrate these analyses and clarify emerging futures. Particular emphasis is placed on the nature of education and its contribution to the common good. \nhttps://universities-pastpresentfuture.mahindrahumanities.fas.harvard.edu/event/international-implications-contemporary-developments

SUMMARY:Roger Shih-Chieh Lo - Redemptive Society and Cold War: Tongshanshe (Fellowship of Goodness) in Zhejiang\, Fujian\, and Taiwan\, 1949-1978
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roger Shih-Chieh Lo\, National Taiwan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\nChair/discussant: Michael Szonyi\, Harvard University \nThroughout the 20th century\, the two most influential redemptive societies in Chinese local society\, Tongshanshe (Fellowship of Goodness) and Yiguangdao (Persistent way) both suffered various level of crackdown from different regimes. From fieldwork and local archives\, however\, it is evident that these two redemptive societies played a very important political role in local society. In this talk of the development of Tongshanshe in Zhejiang\, Fujian and Taiwan during the cold war\, I will discuss the following three questions: first\, what is the significance of this redemptive society in local society during the cold war? Secondly\, besides the suppression of evil cults from the government\, what are the other undisclosed political interactions we can find from these local popular associations and national\, or even international\, politics? Finally\, what kind of new explanation about post-1949 history can be found from this local history study. \nHarvard-Yenching Institute lunch talk

SUMMARY:Faan Chen - Driving and the Built Environment: Is Transit-Oriented Development Effective in Shanghai?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Faan Chen\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard-China Project\, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, Harvard University \nThe rapid growth of cities such as Shanghai in China has presented many transportation\, land use and climate change challenges for local government officials\, planning and transit practitioners and property developers. These challenges include traffic congestion\, energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to global warming. As one of the more visible urban forms of smart growth\, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has been actively promoted as a model for urban development in areas around transit stations to solve such challenges. The vast majority of studies of TOD have been conducted in North American and European cities\, while research of TOD is still in its infancy in most developing countries\, including China\, where residential and transport choices are likely to be more constrained and travel-related attitudes quite different from those in the developed world. Using the data collected from more than 8000 residents living in TOD and non-TOD neighborhoods in the city of Shanghai\, this study aims to partly fill the gaps by investigating the causal relationship between the built environment and travel behavior in the Chinese context\, and specifically to examine whether altering the built environment can actually lead to meaningful changes in travel behavior\, e.g.\, less Vehicle Kilometers Traveled (VKT) and GHG emissions. \nSponsored by the Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy\, and Environment\, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

SUMMARY:Pan Weilin - Dialectics of Waste: Recycling Campaigns in Socialist China\, 1949-1978
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Pan Weilin\, Assistant Professor\, Institute of China Studies\, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20\nChair/discussant: Elizabeth Perry\,  Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute \nThis talk will examine how the national system of China’s waste recovery and recycling took shape through the mass movements during the heydays of the Great Leap Forward (1958-1960) and the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Waste recovery and recycling gained political weight after Mao’s idea of “comprehensive usage” (zonghe liyong) had become the guiding ideology of China’s rapid industrialization. It was not only a matter of production and productivity\, but also a matter of dialectical materialism. The usable and the useless were perceived as a unity of opposites. In a “scientific”/ideal scenario\, the use value can be unceasingly resurrected as long as human endeavor implies. I will argue that the idea and practice of waste recovery and recycling in that period showcased the revolutionary romanticism of the relationship between people and state\, as well as people and nature. It is a socialist legacy that speaks to our contemporary concerns about sustainability and pollution control in post-reform urban China. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/dialectics-waste-recycling-campaigns-socialist-china-1949-1978

SUMMARY:Daniel Koss - Where the Party Rules: The Rank and File of China’s Communist Party
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Daniel Koss\, Lecturer\, EALC\, Harvard University \nIn most non-democratic countries\, today governing forty-four percent of the world population\, the power of the regime rests upon a ruling party. Contrasting with conventional notions that authoritarian regime parties serve to contain elite conflict and manipulate electoral-legislative processes\, this book presents the case of China and shows that rank and-file members of the Communist Party allow the state to penetrate local communities. Subnational comparative analysis demonstrates that in ‘red areas’ with high party saturation\, the state is most effectively enforcing policy and collecting taxes. Because party membership patterns are extremely enduring\, they must be explained by events prior to the Communist takeover in 1949. Frontlines during the anti-colonial Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945) continue to shape China’s political map even today. Newly available evidence from the Great Leap Forward (1958-1961) and the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) shows how a strong local party basis sustained the regime in times of existential crisis. \nThis event is part of the Harvard-Yenching Library Book Talk Series\, in which faculty discuss their recent publications. The event is open to all. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Xi Yang - China's Coal-to-Gas Policy for Residential Heating: Between the Shadow and the Light
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Xi Yang\, Visiting Researcher\, Harvard-China Project; Associate Professor\, China University of Petroleum Beijing \nUnder the pressure of improving its environmental governance\, China has strengthened its coal substitution policy known as “coal-to-gas” in residential heating in Northern region. This bold policy sets strict gas replacement targets for “26 + 2” key cities. However\, China suffered from severe gas shortages in the 2017-2018 winter\, which aroused widespread concern. Maintaining the natural gas balance became thus a challenging task for China\, especially with the policy extended nationwide. Also\, the contribution of gas substitution to air quality improvement remains uncertain. In the context of the Paris Agreement\, the feasibility of China’s gas substitution policy is vital not only for the accomplishment of its NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions)\, but also to global decarbonization. Based on scenario analysis with the bottom-up MAPLE (China Multi-pollutant Abatement Planning and Long-term benefit Evaluation) model\, this talk will address current debates and discuss the potential impact of the coal-to-gas policy.

SUMMARY:Bin Li - From History Books to Digital Humanities Database: Methods\, Tools\, and Case Studies of Chinese Classics
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence technology has rapidly changed the study form of humanities. In this presentation\, we will discuss the key issues in using natural language processing\, deep learning\, GIS\, database and visualization technologies to design a new digital humanities database from the electronic texts of ancient books. We will introduce automatic tagging tools for ancient Chinese sentence/word segmentation\, named entity tagging. Then\, we will present a case study of constructing the DH database of Chinese classics Zuozhuan(左傳)\, Shiji(史記) and Shijing(詩經)\, which offers word based multi-functional retrieval in addition to the full-text retrieval. Data analysis and visualization also reveal new facts from the texts\, such as the personal social relations and travelling distance. Finally\, we discuss the potential improvements and applications of the DH database. \nSpeaker: Bin Li\, Visiting Scholar of CBDB group at IQSS\, Harvard University. Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics in the School of Chinese Language and Literature\, Nanjing Normal University

SUMMARY:The Stories We Tell and the Objects We Keep: Asian American Women and the Archives
DESCRIPTION:The stories of Asian American women extend far beyond the geographic borders of the United States. Inspired by tales and objects from family history\, their narratives often reflect the transnational nature of Asian American women’s lives. Despite the importance of these narratives to expanding and complicating our understanding of war\, migration\, inequity\, and difference\, the accounts and perspectives of Asian American women have often been overlooked in formal records\, and the tangible objects providing critical evidence of their histories have been ignored. \nThis half-day program will bring together Asian American activists and artists\, including novelists\, filmmakers\, playwrights\, and photographers\, to share the stories that inspire their craft and the objects they retain as part of their personal histories. \nTo register and to view a full list of speakers\, visit www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/event/2020-stories-we-tell-objects-we-keep-conference. \nThis event is free. Registration is required.
