SUMMARY:Li Zhiying - Tibet as Told by the Early Qing Emperors
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Li Zhiying\, Associate Professor\, Centre for Tibetan Studies\, Sichuan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23Chair/discussant: Leonard van der Kuijp\, Professor of Tibetan and Himalayan Studies\, Harvard UniversitySeating is limited. Masks are required for all audience members. \n\n\n\nHow did the official narrative about the Qing-Tibetan relationship come into being? This talk focuses on the different narratives told in public by three successive emperors of the Qing dynasty\, Kangxi\, Yongzheng\, and Qianlong. By focusing on the three central concepts in these narratives\, i.e.\, “advancing the Gelugpa Teaching (興黃教/ doro šajin be badarambumbi/ bstan srid dar bar byed)\,” “the Great Patron (大施主/amba ūklige ejen/ sbyin bdag chen po)\,” and “the Great Emperor (大皇帝/amba ejen han/gong ma chen po)\,” I will explain how these three historical narratives were developed in their own contexts and how they served the early Qing emperors to establish a new narrative about Tibet area that was accepted by the Gelug pa tradition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Chinese Kinesthetic Forms
DESCRIPTION:Topics: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMovement has a distinctively rich tradition in China. Chinese Kinesthetic Forms considers movement as an organizing principle across myriad media and cultural forms—from dance and music\, to painting and calligraphy\, to theater and martial arts. The conference explores how movement\, as both expression and object of perception\, opens experiential dimensions\, even beyond the corporeal. Coinciding with the presentation of installations from CAMLab’s Cave Dance project\, the conference joins fresh conversations on dance\, kinesthetics\, and China’s long history of performance\, and it seeks to further understanding of movement as a way of defining experience. \n\n\n\nThis conference is organized by Harvard FAS CAMLab\, with support from the Department of History of Art and Architecture.  \n\n\n\nFriday\, November 11 \n\n\n\n9:30 AM  Welcome RemarksDavid Roxburgh\, Harvard University \n\n\n\n9:45–10:30 AM  Opening Remarks and Keynote Eugene Wang\, Harvard University. “When and How Did Art Become Art?

SUMMARY:Youqin Hang - Families in Transition: Living Arrangements\, Intergenerational Support\, and  Subjective Wellbeing in 21st Century China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Youqin Huang\, Professor of Geography and Planning\, Research Associate of the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis\, University at Albany\, State University of New YorkThis paper examines whether the Chinese family is undergoing a Western process of modernization and an associated reduction in previously very high rate of parent-adult child co-residence\, and how this change in living arrangement affects subjective wellbeing. Using the China Household Finance Survey\, this study reveals that only two decades into the 21st century\, co-residence in China is as low as\, if not lower than that in the West.  Instead\, living apart in proximity in the same city has replaced co-residence as the most prevalent living arrangement.  This shift to proximity is a result of the negotiations between traditional and modernizing tendencies and is further enabled by significantly improved housing and household financial conditions.  This is in contrast to an emerging trend of moving back to parents’ house in the West due to rising housing cost.  Furthermore\, living apart in proximity\, together with strong inter-generational support\, has a significant positive effect on subjective wellbeing.  We conclude that even as China continues its progress in modernization and market transition\, strong intergenerational connections based on Confucian values continue to persist\, although with some modern twists\, which promotes wellbeing. \n\n\n\nDr. Youqin Huang is a Professor of Geography and Planning and a Research Associate of the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis at University at Albany\, State University of New York.  Her research aims to understand the impact of major socioeconomic transformations and government policies\, focusing on housing\, migration\, health\, and wellbeing. She is the (co-)author/(co-)editor of ten books/edited volumes and has published papers in leading journals in geography\, China\, urban studies\, and housing\, including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America\, The China Quarterly\, Urban Studies\, Housing Studies\, as well as Environment and Planning A\, and B. \n\n\n\nZoom meeting link: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Chan Chi-Keung - Pure Sentiment and Strained Reasoning: An Exploration of Neo-Confucian Liu Jishan’s Moral Psychology
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chan Chi-Keung\, Associate Professor of Philosophy\, National Taiwan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23Chair/discussant: Michael Puett\, Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSeating is limited. Masks are required for all audience members. \n\n\n\nThis talk attempts to examine the contribution made by late Ming Neo-Confucianist Liu Jishan (1578-1645) in producing lasting insights on human moral psychological mechanisms. Unlike Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming\, who maintained a more Kantian outlook in moral ethics\, Liu had instead developed a more Humean-like model that places greater emphasis on the multiple facets of the affective faculties of the moral mind. According to Liu\, human emotions possess self-regulatory functions\, a postulation which partly forms the basis of morality. In contrast\, the growth of evil associates closely with the misuse of human rationality. By incorporating the latest theories in moral psychology\, I argue that the core of Liu’s philosophy represents a form of Confucian moral sentimentalism. Naturally\, the introduction of Liu’s philosophy would require this paper to explicate Liu’s position\, however\, it also undertakes the broader aim at engaging the philosophy of ancient Chinese thinkers like Liu in a modern\, cross-cultural\, and interdisciplinary philosophical dialogue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:China Economy Lecture featuring Jonas Nahm - Collaborative Advantage: Forging Green Industries in the New Global Economy
DESCRIPTION:Read the Transcript\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Jonas Nahm\, Assistant Professor of Energy\, Resources\, and Environment\, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS)Nahm’s new book examines the development of wind and solar industries in China\, Germany\, and the United States as a window into the political economy of innovation and economic development in highly globalized industries. The book argues that new possibilities for collaboration among firms in the global economy have reinforced distinct national patterns of industrial specialization. In the decades before international economic integration made it easier for firms from around the world to work together on tasks ranging from production to innovation\, differences in national capitalisms yielded equally distinct national industrial specializations for production\, innovation\, and competitiveness. Globalization has since challenged the primacy of nation states by moving beyond their territorial reach many of the activities that now make up the global economy. However\, as shown in the book\, globalization not only continues to be mediated by domestic institutions\, it also causes persistent and consequential divergence of such institutions and national industrial specializations over time.  \n\n\n\nJonas Nahm is Assistant Professor of Energy\, Resources\, and Environment at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington\, DC. His research examines the intersection of economic and industrial policy\, energy policy\, and environmental politics. He studies the role of the state in processes of industrial restructuring that accompany policy responses to climate change and clean energy transitions more broadly. His work utilizes clean energy transitions in China\, Germany\, and the United States to engage two debates in comparative political economy: (1) the role of the state in shaping the international division of labor in highly globalized industries\, and (2) sources of state capacity in interest group politics during periods of industrial restructuring. \n\n\n\nAlso available on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series featuring Benno Weiner - This Absolutely is not a Hui Rebellion! The Ethnopolitics of Great Nationality Chauvinism in Early-Maoist China
DESCRIPTION:Read the Transcript Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Benno Weiner\, Associate Professor\, Carnegie Mellon UniversityThrough much of the 1950s\, the Chinese Communist Party considered disunity between ethnocultural groups (minzu)primarilyto be a product of “great nationality chauvinism\,” which refered to exploitation committed in the past by the Han majority against “minority nationalities.” In parts of China’s Northwest\, however\, the Party identified Hui Muslim elites\, not Han\, to be the main agents of nationality exploitation and Tibetans to be their principal targets. It therefore declared Tibetans of all classes to be a priori victims of nationality exploitation. By contrast\,because Hui were considered to be both victims and traffickers of nationality exploitation\, the regional leadership ordered “good” Muslims be distinguished from “bad.” While echoing Qing and even Republican-era practices of labeling Muslim communities and responding to rebellion\, I argue that its 1950s permeation must be understood within the CCP’s own practices of minoritization and frameworks for conceptualizing the new socialist nation-state. All of which was made more urgent by a string of uprisings that between late-1949 and mid-1953 engulfed several Muslim-majority areas along the Qinghai-Gansu Highlands and spilled into the Tibetan and Mongol-dominated grasslands to their south. \n\n\n\nDr. Weiner is a historian of Modern China\, Tibet and Inner Asia. His research revolves around China’s contested and possibly incomplete transition from empire to nation-state and in particular the processes and problematics of twentieth-century state and nation building within China’s ethnic minority regions. Before joining CMU\, he taught at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. \n\n\n\nDr. Weiner’s first book\, The Chinese Revolution on the Tibetan Frontier (Cornell UP\, 2020)\, is among the first major studies of a “nationality minority region” during the formative years of the People’s Republic of China (PRC)\, and the first to examine early efforts by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to integrate the vast region known to Tibetans as Amdo into the PRC. Applying the theoretical lens of imperial transition to the methodology of local history\, it argues that in 1950s Amdo Party leaders implicitly understood both the administrative and epistemological obstacles to transforming a vast multiethnic empire into a unitary\, socialist nation-state. For much of the decade the CCP therefore employed a “subimperial” strategy\, referred to as the United Front\, as a means to “gradually\,” “voluntarily\,” and “organically” bridge this gap between empire and nation. However\, the United Front ultimately lost out to a revolutionary impatience that demanded immediate national integration and socialist transformation. This led in 1958 to communization\, “democratic reforms\,” and large-scale rebellion. Despite successfully identifying the tensions between empire and nation\, and attempting to creatively resolve them\, empire was eliminated before the process of de-imperialization and nationalization was completed. Like so many of the world’s most intractable conflicts\, he therefore contends that at the root of the Sino-Tibetan conflict lies the unresolved legacy of empire.Read the Transcript Here: Read Transcript \n\n\n\n\n\nYouTube recording of “Modern China Lecture Series featuring Benno Weiner – This Absolutely is not a Hui Rebellion!

SUMMARY:Coexistence 2.0: U.S.-China Relations in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:U.S.-China relations are increasingly tense. But both countries need to forge a path that allows for cooperation and competition—Coexistence 2.0. Join us as top experts discuss the way forward. \n\n\n\nThe U.S.-China relationship is the most important in the world\, with decisions affecting the world’s chances for global peace\, prosperity\, and sustainability. Each country has its own view of what its role\, and the other’s role\, in the world should be in the 21st Century. These views are not entirely in sync. This has created tensions\, and could become more destabilizing. However\, it’s in the interests of both countries to find a way forward together that leaves room for cooperation\, competition\, perhaps even confrontation\, without leading to war — Coexistence 2.0\, a more complex and engaged form of coexistence than the United States had with the Soviet Union in the last century. \n\n\n\nMajor questions framing what is possible include what China wants\, how China’s domestic realities affect President Xi Jinping’s dream of “rejuvenating” China and\, the actions he can take at home and abroad\, how much and in what ways the United States and its allies can influence Beijing’s decision-making\, and what greater global forces and trends are at play\, affecting what the United States\, China\, or the two of them together\, can do or might want to do. \n\n\n\nThis symposium aims to provoke thought on these questions\, and to deepen understanding of the U.S.-China relationship. The conference is co-presented by the Harvard University Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and the Harvard Kennedy Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia\, with support from the Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations and UC San Diego’s 21st Century China Center. \n\n\n\nFriday November 18th \n\n\n\n8:00-8:10AM: Welcome\n\n\n\nMark Wu\, Director\, Harvard University Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Henry L. Stimson Professor\, Harvard Law SchoolTony Saich\, Director\, Harvard Kennedy School Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia \n\n\n\n8:10 – 9:10AM: Chinese Views on U.S.-China Relations\n\n\n\nTwo influential Chinese experts share their views of changing U.S.-China relations\, in conversation with the moderator. \n\n\n\nModerator:Yasheng Huang\, Epoch Foundation Professor of International Management\, MITSpeakers:Wei Da\, Director\, Center for International Security and Strategy\, Tsinghua UniversityDaojiong Zha\, Professor of International Political Economy\, School of International Studies\, Peking University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:10-9:20AM: Break\n\n\n\n9:20-10:30AM: China’s Realities at Home\n\n\n\nWhat domestic realities and challenges are driving and affecting the Chinese government’s goals and strategy\, at home and abroad\, in terms of Communist Party politics\, the state of China’s economy\, and social factors? \n\n\n\nModerator:Tony Saich\, Director\, Harvard Kennedy School Rajawali Foundation Institute for AsiaSpeakers:Arthur Kroeber\, Founding Partner\, Head of Research\, GavekalYa-Wen Lei\, Associate Professor of Sociology\, Harvard UniversityDavid Shambaugh\, Director\, China Policy Program\, Elliott School of International Affairs\, George Washington UniversitySusan Shirk\, Chair\, 21st Century China Center\, Research Professor\, UC San Diego \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:45-11:55AM: Competition & Cooperation in Security\, Ideas and Rules\n\n\n\nChina and the United States are competing on multiple fronts\, including in promoting their values and ideas and setting international rules and standards. China is challenging and hoping to end the United States’ long-held role as predominant Indo-Pacific power\, by building a “String of Pearls” presence in ports throughout Asia\, the Middle East and Europe\, establishing a presence near chokepoints to strategic waterways (Djibouti\, Gwadar)\, and accelerating the modernization of China’s overall military capabilities\, including developing a blue water navy capability. What does Coexistence 2.0 look like on all these fronts? Where is there still room for cooperation\, and where is competition inevitable? How can the two sides avoid a hot war? \n\n\n\nModerator:Graham Allison\, Professor of Government\, Harvard Kennedy SchoolSpeakers:Andrew Erickson\, Professor of Strategy and Research Director in the Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies InstituteTaylor Fravel\, Director\, Security Studies Program\, MITJoseph Nye\, Professor Emeritus and Former Dean\, Harvard Kennedy School of Government; Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security AffairsJessica Chen Weiss\, Professor of Government\, Cornell University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:00-1:15PM: Lunch\n\n\n\n1:15-2:25PM: Competition & Cooperation in Trade\, Investment\, and Technology\n\n\n\nA look at U.S.-China competition in global trade and investment\, especially emergent technologies and infrastructure. To what extent should both sides engage in greater decoupling for national security reasons? What do developing nations want\, how has China’s BRI changed the landscape\, and how effectively are the United States and its allies responding?  Even amid growing strategic competition\, can both parties work to define common norms of behavior in cyberspace and to cooperate on emergent technologies to address common problems? \n\n\n\nModerator:Mark Wu\, Director\, Harvard University Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Henry L.

How do Asian countries view China’s rise—as a threat or an economic opportunity? Are they fearful of falling into the “debt trap” that international analysts have warned of\, or do they welcome Chinese investment? How are they affected by U.S. trade sanctions on China? What do they hope the United States will offer? \n\n\n\nModerator:Fatema Z.

How can these two great powers collaborate more on global issues that matter\, like climate change? What is U.S. policy already doing well to support U.S. interests and the rules-based international order?  What could U.S. policy do better?

SUMMARY:Eva Nga Shan Ng - Trials Heard by a Foreign Ear: A Study of Chinese Jurors’ Comprehension of English Trials in Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eva Nga Shan Ng\, Assistant Professor\, Translation Programme\, School of Chinese\, the University of Hong Kong; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23Chair/discussant: Nicholas Harkness\, Modern Korean Economy and Society Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nStudies in jury comprehension have hitherto mainly explored Anglo-American courts and focused on examining English-speaking jurors’ ability to understand legal discourse\, particularly with respect to jury instructions. Such studies reveal doubts about jurors’ comprehension of the legalese in jury instructions and argue for the use of plain English to make jury instructions accessible to lay jurors. This paper reports findings of a study contextualized in the Hong Kong courtroom\, where criminal trials in the High Court are routinely heard by local Chinese jurors presumed to have a sufficient command of the language used in court\, be it English or Chinese. This study aims to test the validity of  the presumption about Chinese jurors’ ability to understand trials conducted in English\, which they speak as a second or even a foreign language (L2)\, and to explore how L2 jurors’ comprehension might be further compromised due to a lack of proficiency in English. A random sample of local Chinese eligible for jury service (N=53) are recruited from the community to take part in the study\, which comprises a demographic survey of the subjects\, as well as a test of their comprehension of courtroom discourse using authentic audio recordings of two trials from the High Court of Hong Kong. The results of this study show an average listening comprehension level of around 41% by the subjects\, with some attaining below 25%. The results also show that the subjects’ listening comprehension problems are not limited to legalese. Taking the Voice Projection Framework (Heffer 2018) as a point of reference\, this study suggests that while discursive voicing is largely to blame for the subjects’ comprehension problem\, as in studies with native English-speaking jurors\, in the case of L2 jurors\, the speakers’ physical voicing of courtroom discourse is demonstrated and perceived by the subjects to be a major factor in impeding their comprehension of the courtroom discourse. This paper argues that making courtroom discourse accessible to L2 jurors means more than improving the discursive voicing\, but physical voicing matters as much\, if not more. This paper also discusses the possibility of providing interpretation for jurors in need of the service to ensure equal participation in jury service by people randomly selected from the community and to mitigate the jury dilemma. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.

SUMMARY:Performing the Ecological Fix Under State Entrepreneurialism in China
DESCRIPTION:Zoom meeting link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Fangzhu Zhang\, ​University College London \n\n\n\n​This talk examines the recent green turn in China by investigating a large-scale urban greenway project—’Greenways of Paradise’ in Chengdu. Using the perspective of the socio-ecological fix\, we demonstrate that the local state has seized the opportunity provided by the central state’s ‘ecological civilisation’ to carry out green infrastructure development to upgrade environmental quality. We reveal complex motivations to incorporate environmental improvement into entrepreneurial urban governance instead of allowing economic growth to encroach on greenspace. Our state-centred analysis reveals that Chinese green urbanism has been promoted like a political mission\, despite its implementation by development corporations. We argue that\, while the socio-ecological fix facilitates capital accumulation\, its deployment must be understood through state politics and actors. \n\n\n\n​Fangzhu Zhang is an Associate Professor in China Planning and joint coordinator for China Planning Research Group in Bartlett School of Planning\, University College London (UCL). Her main research interests focus on innovation and governance; urban village redevelopment and migrant integration in China; urban financialisation; and eco-innovation and eco-city development in China. She has been involved in several research projects funded by the British Academy\, ESRC (UK) and the EU. She has published articles extensively in leading international journals such as Urban Studies\, Regional Studies\, Political Geography. She is founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal entitled “Transactions in Planning and Urban Research” (TPUR). Currently\, she is working on the ERC Advanced Grant research project\, rethinking China’s urban governance. \n\n\n\nZoom Meeting: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture Series Featuring Linh Vu - The Politics of Martyr Commemoration in Modern China and Contemporary Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Linh Vu\, Assistant Professor\, Arizona State University \n\n\n\nThis talk focuses on (1) the politics of martyr commemoration in Republican China (1911–1949) and (2) the governance of the posthumous identities of the Nationalist Chinese dead in contemporary Taiwan. The Chinese Republic laid the foundation for the modern nation-state through the governance of these millions of war dead. In addition\, the commemoration of war martyrs has been the unifying and consolidating force in the formation of national identity and sovereignty in a place with complicated status such as Taiwan. My case studies of China during the Republican era and Taiwan in recent decades demonstrate how the power of the dead necessitates that political\, social\, and cultural institutions develop the means to control the way by which they are remembered. The dead are invested with significance to constitute the national spirit\, to affirm political legitimacy\, and to recreate social coherence and temporal continuity. \n\n\n\nLinh Vu is an assistant professor of history in the School of Historical\, Philosophical and Religious Studies at Arizona State University\, Tempe\, Arizona\, USA. Her first book\, Governing the Dead: Martyrs\, Memorials\, and Necrocitizenship in Modern China (Cornell University Press\, 2021)\, examines the efforts of the Chinese nation-state to record\, commemorate\, and compensate military and civilian dead and how such efforts transformed China’s social and cultural institutions.This event also available on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Chinese Politics and Foreign Policy Workshop featuring Junyan Jiang - From Kins to Comrades: Rural Clan Society and the Rise of Communism in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Junyan Jiang\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, Columbia University \n\n\n\nA key paradox of social revolutions of the 20th century is that despite their radical\, modernist claims\, success often hinges on effective mobilization of the peasantry\, who are typically conservative and inward-looking. This paper studies how traditional networks and cleavages within rural society can be creatively adapted by movement entrepreneurs to generate revolutionary impetus. Using newly digitized data on family genealogies and over half a million revolutionary participants from 637 armed uprisings led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)\, we study how CCP organizers’ local clan affiliations affect mobilization outcomes during the incipient stage of the revolution (1927–1936). Triple-difference estimates suggest that local organizers instigated a significant number of co-clan members to join uprisings and the effect is more salient for organizers from larger clans. We also find that uprisings led by members of dominant clans are more likely to succeed\, and that clan-based mobilization capitalized on both intra-clan solidarity and inter-clan animosity. These findings underscore a subtle yet significant linkage between agrarian institutions and modern revolutions and help reconcile several longstanding debates about the rise of Chinese communism. \n\n\n\nJunyan Jiang studies comparative politics and political economy\, focusing on the politics of elites\, organizations\, and ideas. Some of his current research projects explore the formation and transformation of political elite networks in China\, the interplay between formal rules and informal power in bureaucratic systems\, and the dynamics of ideology in changing societies. His work has been published in American Journal of Political Science\, British Journal of Political Science\, Journal of Politics\, Journal of Public Economics\, and Journal of Development Economics\, among others. He has received the 2020 Gregory Luebbert Article Award for the best article in comparative politics from the American Political Science Association (APSA)\, and honorable mentions for the 2016 Sage Paper Award for the best paper presented at APSA Annual Meetings and the 2018 Mancur Olson Award for the best dissertation in political economy. \n\n\n\nPrior to joining Columbia\, he taught at Chinese University of Hong Kong and held a postdoctoral fellowship at University of Pennsylvania. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:China Humanities Seminar featuring Lu Kuo - The Temporary Recluse: The Discourse of Not Working in Early Medieval Chinese Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Lu Kou\, Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \n\n\n\nFor imperial officials\, “work” – fulfilling duties in the office\, traveling for business\, or managing lawsuits\, taxation\, or infrastructure – was a common subject matter for poetic treatment. Yet meanwhile\, they also wrote prolifically about “not working\,” which encompassed both permanent withdrawal from the officialdom and temporary release of duties. In their poetry on “not working\,” poet-officials often portrayed themselves as recluses\, men who claimed to evade social interactions and civil services in order to retain a sense of independence and personal integrity. Ironically\, while they tapped the discourse of reclusion to describe sabbaticals\, vacations\, or demotions – what I call “temporary recluse\,” this discourse also heightened the poet-officials’ awareness of themselves being working persons. It opened up a poetic space where they can negotiate with bureaucratic systems\, articulate their worth vis-à-vis the work\, investigate the meaning of leisure\, and fashion communities of like-minded working colleagues. \n\n\n\nWhile the culture of reclusion in early medieval China is well studied\, this talk focuses on the reclusive discourse as a discourse of not working that emerged\, developed\, and dispersed within a culture of work. By examining two cases\, one on Liu Xiaochuo’s (481–539) leave of absence (xiumu 休沐)\, and the other on Xie Tiao’s (464–499) poetics of local governance\, this talk studies how poet-officials manipulated the reclusive discourse as a rhetorical strategy to navigate imperial bureaucracy and reinscribe their worth and value. I show that the reclusive imaginary was embedded in a culture of service and that the reclusive discourse bridged “work” and “not work\,” rendering their boundaries porous and malleable. \n\n\n\nBiography \n\n\n\nLu Kou is Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Columbia University. As a medievalist and a scholar of premodern Chinese literature\, Lu Kou’s research interests include medieval Chinese literature and culture\, poetry and poetics\, historiography\, and comparative studies of China’s Middle Period and medieval Europe. He is currently at work on two book projects: War of Words: Courtly Exchange\, Rhetoric\, and Political Cultures in Early Medieval China\, which examines the “discursive battles” fought among rival states in China’s early medieval period and investigates how rhetoric constructed and contested political legitimacy in this age of multipolarity; and (tentatively titled) Locked Seal\, Heart of Poetry: Bureaucracy and the Representation of Work in Medieval Chinese Poetry\, 400-900 CE\, which studies the dialectic between poetry and bureaucratic systems\, between lyricism and quotidian renderings of “work” in medieval poetry. Before joining the faculty at Columbia\, he was Assistant Professor of Chinese at Bard College (2019-2022) and Visiting Assistant Professor at Williams College (2018-2019). \n\n\n\nZoom Registration: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIsduCuqjooGNA1PQdAWwm0oDarNDg4eNYc \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Seminar Series featuring Tingting Lu - Collaborative Neighborhood Governance During the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Tingting Lu\, ​Shanghai Jiao Tong University \n\n\n\n​The COVID-19 pandemic is a governance challenge for nations and cities across the world. While early observations have primarily focused on nation-scale government actions\, our research shows that neighborhood social capital also plays a key role in Chinese neighborhoods. Drawing from collaborative governance theory\, we examine the horizontal and hierarchical dynamics of neighborhood governance collaboration during crisis responses in urban China. Using a large-scale questionnaire survey of frontline community workers conducted in six Chinese cities in February 2020\, we find that from the perspective of residents’ committees\, the effectiveness of collaborative governance in pandemic control is predicted by both neighborhood social capital (i.e. civic engagement and citizen participation) and hierarchical steering by the government through setting policy priorities and providing support. We also surveyed residents for their opinions on neighborhood collaborative governance post pandemic. Social capital presents opposite correlations to one’s collaboration with a residents’ committee and collaboration with a private management company.  \n\n\n\nTingting Lu is an Associate Professor at School of International and Public Affairs\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research focuses on neighborhood governance and housing development in urban China. Recently she has also worked on gated communities\, social segregation\, and neighborhood attachment\, and has published in leading journals in urban studies and geography\, including Urban Studies\, Urban Geography\, and Geoforum.  \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Trisha Tsui-Chuan Lin - Mitigating COVID Disinfodemic: Health Misinformation\, Digital Literacy and Vaccination in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Trisha Tsui-Chuan Lin\, Professor\, College of Communication\, National Chengchi University\, Taiwan; Harvard Yenching Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23; Fulbright Senior Researcher\, Harvard University\, 2022-23 \n\n\n\nChair/discussant: Winnie Yip\, Professor of the Practice of Global Health Policy and Economics\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \n\n\n\nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic\, social media algorithms has facilitated the viral spread of mis- and disinformation\, resulting in global public health crises. After raising Coronavirus epidemic warning in mid-2021\, Taiwan has faced increasing health misinformation risks and challenges of mitigation. The goal of the mixed-method research is two-fold: to examine characteristics of Taiwan’s health misinformation after COVID-19 Level 3 Alert\, and to investigate the complex relationship among social media users’ (dis)information efficacy\, health literacy and their impacts on vaccination. First\, I systematically analyzed viral health misinformation messages verified by fact-check organizations over the past 1.5 years. Content analysis shows that prevalent types of Coronavirus falsehoods are related to vaccine effectiveness\, false cures and preventative measures\, and government’s epidemic prevention. Their most salient motives include fear mongering and conspiracies\, especially on political smear. Next\, my survey of Taiwanese social media users finds that COVID-19 health literacy significantly increases individual adoption of preventive measures and vaccination. Social media information efficacy is the key to improve critical posts of COVID-19 information\, which positively affects health literacy and its components (i.e.\, accessing\, understanding\, appraising\, and applying health information). Nonetheless\, social media disinformation efficacy moderately influences how people understand and apply health literacy. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.
