SUMMARY:Victor Seow - Energy Transitions amidst Regime Change: Mining Coal in the Early People’s Republic of China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Victor Seow\, Assistant Professor\, Department of the History of Science\, Harvard University \nThe decade after the revolution of 1949 witnessed a China that was being made anew. The material transformation of society and economy that had been the goal of preceding regimes was realized to a hitherto unseen degree in the industrial edifice raised by the socialist state. This was an achievement that rested upon a bedrock of fossil fuel energy. In line with centrally directed plans\, the coal that lay in abundance in multiple regions across China was unearthed in mounting quantities\, as Chinese engineers led the excavation of new mines and the introduction of new technologies and techniques\, from the longwall system to hydraulic mining. Yet for all the effort in pushing production\, supply did not seem to be able to catch up with demand\, and by the late 1950s\, China seemed to be facing a coal shortage. Part of the problem was that of thermal inefficiency: for most industrial processes\, Chinese engines\, furnaces\, and boilers were burning more coal than their British and American counterparts. This talk examines efforts by Chinese planners to expand coal output as part of what they saw as a race to outpace capitalist countries in industrial development\, and shows that it was not so much a failure of technology but the fixation on sheer volume that led to a low quality of coal produced\, which in turn compromised the efficiency of the socialist industrial enterprise. \nSponsored by Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy and Environment\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

SUMMARY:Amelia Ying Qin - Seeking Patterns: Close and Distant Readings of Two Collections of Tang 唐 (618-907) Dynasty Anecdotes
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amelia Ying Qin\,  An Wang Post Doctoral Fellow\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies \nThis study takes two different approaches—close and distant readings—to the hidden patterns in two anecdote collections. The Songchuang zalu 松牕雜錄 (Miscellaneous Notes under the Pine Window) is a small Tang 唐 (618-907) collection of sixteen anecdotes that claims its accounts are both “particularly unusual” 特異 and “definitely true” 必實. Close reading reveals it to be a text containing hidden structures with an emphasis on “the unusual” as a concept bearing discursive weight for the purpose of subtle political criticism. The intertwined ideas of unusualness and truthfulness define each other and form a discourse of “the unusual” that provides an interpretive framework for the collection’s core anecdotes. These accounts\, when read closely within this framework\, point to signs that foreshadow the Tang’s decline while voicing concerns over its end and directing muted criticism at the irresponsible Tang rulers. The Tang yulin 唐語林 (Forest of Conversations on the Tang)\, on the other hand\, is a collection of over eleven hundred anecdotes about Tang historical figures\, events\, and customs compiled during the Northern Song 北宋 (960-1127). Its contents were selectively recycled from fifty or so earlier miscellanies of various sizes\, and both the content and structure of the collection suffered from a hectic textual history of loss and restoration. To examine a text of this nature and size\, this study experiments with the approach of distant reading to explore potential patterns in its content\, structure\, and selective use of source material. In juxtaposing these two texts examined with different methods\, the speaker hopes to reflect upon the mercurial and ephemeral nature of anecdotal memories of the past\, as well as the possible ways of reading and understanding such memories. \nAmelia Ying Qin graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, with a Ph.D. in Chinese literature (2013) from the Department of East Asian Languages and Literature and an M.A. (2010) from the School of Library and Information Studies. Prior to her study in Madison\, she also completed degrees at the University of Rhode Island and Fudan University in Shanghai\, China. Her current research interest is in the relationship and dynamics between cultural memory and historiography in Chinese anecdotal and historical narratives during the time period of 600-1300. She is also the translator of two chapters of The Grand Scribe’s Records. Her teaching interests include Chinese language of all levels\, survey of Chinese literature\, special topics in modern and classical Chinese literature\, as well as comparative topics in East Asian literature and cultures.

SUMMARY:Gufran Beig - Anatomy of Extreme Pollution Event in a Megacity: Delhi
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gufran Beig\, Project Director\, System of Air Quality Forecasting and Research\, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology\, Ministry of Earth Sciences\, Government of India; Fellow\, Indian Academy of Sciences; World Meteorological Organization Norbert Gerbier-Mumm International Award \nA Harvard-China Project Research Seminar \nMegacities are engines of growing pollution. Delhi is cursed by its geography to be prone to various meteorological phenomena acting in different times of the year that contribute to high pollution levels. Climate change is poised to worsen air quality and by the end of the century\, more than half of the world’s population will be exposed to increasingly stagnant atmospheric conditions\, with the tropics and subtropics bearing the brunt of the poor air quality. India’s capital\, Delhi\, is reported to be one of the megacities in the world that are worst affected by asthma. Delhi experienced an environmental emergency in early November 2017 when levels of toxic PM2.5 particles surpassed WHO guidelines by 25 times for a prolonged period of time (a week). In this talk\, we will demonstrate the role that monsoon dynamics played in linking and mixing dust emitted from a large\, natural dust storm\, 3000km away in the Middle East\, with smoke from agriculture fires in northwest India. Understanding the multi-scale nature of such events is important for improving our abilities to forecast these events and developing effective air quality management strategies. \nSponsored by China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

SUMMARY:Lan Pei-Chia - Raising Global Families: Global Parenting and Class Inequality in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Lan Pei-Chia\, National Taiwan University\nChair: Prof. Andrew Gordon\, Harvard University; Acting Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/raising-global-families-global-parenting-and-class-inequality-taiwan \nBased on in-depth interviews with ethnic Chinese parents from more than a hundred families in Taiwan and Boston\, my new book Raising Global Families examines how parents navigate transnational mobilities and negotiate cultural boundaries to cope with uncertainties and insecurities in the changing society and globalized world. I coined the term “global security strategies” to describe their childrearing practices that often lead to the unintended consequences of magnifying parental insecurity. This talk focuses on the distinct strategies of “global parenting” across the class spectrum in Taiwan. The professional middle class employ divergent educational strategies to pursue cosmopolitan parenting: some prefer international school and prioritize global competitiveness while some others choose Western-influenced alternative curriculums to orchestrate children’s natural growth. By contrast\, working-class Taiwanese men seek wives from China and Southeast Asia to escape the marriage squeeze\, but the transnational connections of immigrant mothers are hardly recognized as a valuable cultural capital by the state and school until the recent “New Southbound Policy.” \nAbout the speaker: Pei-Chia Lan is Distinguished Professor of Sociology\, Director of Global Asia Research Center\, and Associate Dean of the College of Social Sciences at National Taiwan University. She was a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley\, a Fulbright scholar at New York University\, and a Yenching-Radcliffe fellow at Harvard University. Her major publications include Global Cinderellas: Migrant Domestics and Newly Rich Employers in Taiwan (Duke 2006\, ASA Sex and Gender Book Award and ICAS Book Prize) and Raising Global Families: Parenting\, Immigration\, and Class in Taiwan and the US (Stanford 2018). \nHarvard-Yenching Institute talk\, co-sponsored with the Sociology Dept.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - Strongman Politics in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nElsa Clavé\, Harvard University Asia Center\nAyşe Kadıoğlu\, Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, Harvard University\nJoseph Fewsmith\, Boston University\nValerie Sperling\, Clark University \nModerator:\nThomas Vallely\, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School \nListen again on Soundcloud: \n \nAs the role of “strongman” leaders on the world stage appears to be on the rise\, this panel examines “strongman politics” in a comparative context. In May 2018\, Time Magazine proclaimed in an article that “The ‘Strongmen Era’ Is Here” (Time\, May 3\, 2018). Highlighting Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s tightening authoritarianism in Russia and China\, and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan\, Rodrigo Duterte\, and Viktor Orbán’s undermining of democratic norms in Turkey\, the Philippines\, and Hungary\, it certainly appears that Huntington’s post-Cold War “third wave” of democratization is witnessing a strongman-inspired reversal. But does this entail a new “era” of authoritarianism advance as the United States rhetorically withdraws from its global leadership role? \nThis panel examines the role of politically-strong male leaders in authoritarian countries in a comparative context. Elsa Clavé\, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard University Asia Center\, examines the 2016 election of Duterte in the Philippines; Ayşe Kadıoğlu\, Visiting Scholar at Harvard’s Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, looks at Erdoğan’s reversal of Turkey’s previous move towards democratization; Joseph Fewsmith\, Professor Political Science at Boston University\, compares Xi Jinping’s consolidation of power in China to Mao’s historical rise at Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party; and Valerie Sperling\, Professor of Political Science at Clark University\, interrogates the cult-like masculinity of Vladimir Putin’s image as a “manly” leader in post-Soviet Russia. \nRegarding her upcoming discussion of the presidency of Duterte at the panel\, Asia Center Postdoctoral Fellow Elsa Clavé\, a historian of the Philippines working on the expression of authority and power in its Muslim periphery\, stated “President Duerte is not only a populist; he was elected and stays extremely popular for various other reasons. Understanding these reasons is essential to understanding the present society and the direction it is taking. Models and theory are a good approach to reality\, but reality exceeds both. A conversation between different fields and disciplines will help\, I hope\, to refine the model.” \nThe panel is moderated by Thomas Vallely\, Senior Advisor at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School\, and a specialist on Southeast Asia\, and introduced by Karen Thornber\, Director of the Harvard University Asia Center. \nCo-sponsoring Centers:\nAsh Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School\nWeatherhead Center for International Affairs\, Harvard University\nHarvard University Asia Center\nFairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University\nDavis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\, Harvard University\nMinda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies\, Harvard University
