SUMMARY:Adrian Zenz - Xinjiang Update: What New Documents Tell Us About Beijing’s Evolving Internment Policy
DESCRIPTION:Read our blog post on the event: Xinjiang Update: Beijing’s Evolving Internment Policy \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Adrian Zenz\, Senior Fellow and Director in China Studies\, Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation \n\n\n\nModerator: Mark C. Elliott\, Vice Provost for International Affairs\, Mark Schwartz Professor of Chinese and Inner Asian History\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSince the start of Beijing’s campaign of interning Uyghurs and other ethnic groups in its northwestern region of Xinjiang in re-education camps\, the most pertinent evidence on the nature and impact of these policies has come from public and internal (classified) government documents. However\, nearly all of this documentation was limited to latter (implementation-related) stages of the policy cycle\, leaving scholars in the dark about crucial aspects of the deliberations and decision-making processes behind the policies. Between late 2021 and mid-2022\, two important caches of new internal files have been made public\, including classified speeches by Xi Jinping and by Zhao Kezhi\, China’s former Minister of Public Security. This presentation seeks to elucidate what these new files can tell us about the evolution of Beijing’s policies in the region\, the role of the central government in the process\, and the potential scale of the campaign of mass internment. \n\n\n\nDr. Adrian Zenz is Senior Fellow and Director in China Studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation\, Washington\, D.C. (non-resident). His research focus is on China’s ethnic policy and Beijing’s campaign of mass internment\, securitization and forced labor in Xinjiang\, as well as ethnic minority education and labor programs in Tibet. Dr. Zenz is the author of Tibetanness under Threat and co-editor of Mapping Amdo: Dynamics of Change. He has played a leading role in the analysis of leaked Chinese government documents\, including the “China Cables\,” the “Karakax List\,” the “Xinjiang Papers\,” and the Xinjiang Police Files. Dr. Zenz has provided expert testimony to the governments of Germany\, France\, the United Kingdom\, Canada\, and the United States. He is a member of the Association of Asian Studies. He has published opinion pieces with Foreign Policy\, Foreign Affairs\, The New York Times\, and The Wall Street Journal. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Generative AI for East Asian Studies
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop introduces the use of generative AI. Generative AI refers to a category of artificial intelligence algorithms that generate new outputs based on data. Unlike traditional AI systems that recognize patterns and make predictions\, generative AI can create new content in the form of texts as well as images and audio. It enables one to work across languages (e.g.\, asking for answers in English about a text in classical Chinese). The workshop will cover the theory behind it\, the common misconceptions about it\, and showcase several tools. We will offer use case demonstrations for summarization\, data cleaning\, and visualization. Use cases may involve Chinese texts\, but the techniques can be applied to across East Asian Studies. Organized by the Digital China Initiative of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and China Biographical Database project. \n\n\n\nThis is an in-person event that will not be recorded or live-streamed. \n\n\n\nWe recommend that attendees register for a ChatGPT account: (https://chat.openai.com/chat). You can also use its alternatives\, such as Microsoft New Bing\, Google Bard\, Notion AI\, etc.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
