SUMMARY:Meng Gao - The Essential Role of Vertical Profile Observations of Atmospheric Composition in China
DESCRIPTION:**PLEASE NOTE THE DATE OF THIS EVENT HAS CHANGED FROM NOVEMBER 18 TO DECEMBER 2** \nSpeaker: Meng Gao\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Geography\, Hong Kong Baptist University; Associate\, Harvard-China Project \nMonitoring and modeling/predicting air pollution are crucial to understanding the links between emissions and air pollution levels\, to supporting air quality management\, and to reducing human exposure. Yet\, current monitoring networks and modeling capabilities are unfortunately inadequate to understand the physical and chemical processes above ground\, and to support attribution of sources. Vertical observations of atmospheric composition would be essential to reduce uncertainties\, and to advance diagnostic understanding and prediction of air pollution. In this talk\, three major issues of air quality research in China will be exemplified: (1) current observation networks provide only partial view of air pollution\, and this can lead to misleading air quality management actions; (2) satellite retrievals of air pollutants are widely used in air pollution studies\, such as health risk assessment\, but too often users do not acknowledge that they have large uncertainties\, which can be reduced with measurements of vertical profiles; (3) air quality modeling and forecasting require vertical observational constraints. \nMeng Gao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography\, Hong Kong Baptist University and Associate\, Harvard-China Project. He earned a B.Sc degree in atmospheric physics from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology and an M.Sc and Ph.D in chemical engineering from the University of Iowa. Dr. Gao Meng’s research focuses on air pollution in highly polluted regions (China and India) and its interactions with health and climate. He uses a coupled meteorology-chemistry model to investigate in detail the chemical and physical processes leading to severe particulate matter and ozone pollution in Asia. He has demonstrated that aerosol interactions with radiation and clouds contribute in important ways to intensification of aerosol enhancements. He has shown how the assimilation of PM2.5 in winter haze periods can improve model predictions and that these improved predictions can reduce significantly the uncertainties in estimates of health impacts and aerosol radiative forcing. He has also shown how ocean temperature in autumn can be used effectively to predict the severity of Indian winter haze\, which can help guide pollution control planning at least a season in advance. \nPresented via Zoom.\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJctduyqpzwiGNWMZt42nWYMuuC1aBGxxdHN

SUMMARY:Michael Szonyi - Did Chinese Peasants Have a Revolution? Perspectives from the Long Twentieth-Century
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Szonyi\, Frank Wen-hsiung Wu Professor of Chinese History; Director\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University.\nDiscussant: Gail Hershatter\, Distinguished Professor of History\, University of California – Santa Cruz\nModerator: Jeffrey Wasserstrom\, Chancellor’s Professor of History\, University of Califorina – Irvine \nFor much of the last seventy years the answer to the question “Did Chinese peasants have a revolution?” has seemed self-evident. But from our vantage point in 2020\, it is equally self-evident that rural people did not have the revolution they were promised or that they expected\, and that their experience of revolution was highly distinctive. In this presentation\, Professor Michael Szonyi first explores some of the ways that focusing on the experience of rural people may help us rethink our understandings of both modern Chinese history and the challenges facing contemporary China.  Then he turns to discuss how one aspect of rural life – the household development cycle – has impacted the experience of revolutionary change in rural China. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration required\nRegister at: https://uci.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fM-yryoyRxqGMIiJRRHAWg

SUMMARY:Song Lihong - Trauma and Transcendence: The Shadow of the Holocaust on an Israeli Sinologist
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Song Lihong\, Professor\, Department of Religious Studies and Glazer Institute of Jewish and Israel Studies\, Nanjing University; HYI Visiting Scholar 2020-21\nChair/discussant: David Stern\, Harry Starr Professor of Classical and Modern Jewish and Hebrew Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature\, Harvard University \nThe late Irene Eber (1929-2019)\, professor of East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a long-time affiliate of the Fairbank Center of Harvard\, is arguably the scholar on the intercultural and transnational encounters between Jews and modern China. She is also a Holocaust survivor who wrote an inimitable memoir\, The Choice: Poland\, 1939-1945. It offered an unparalleled chance to unravel how China is construed by a Jewish Sinologist haunted by an all-pervasive mood of subdued obsession and inner wrestling with her memories of the Holocaust. This talk\, sitting on the intersection of China studies\, Jewish studies\, and Holocaust studies\, will examine the nexus between her Jewish identity and her academic vocation\, and discuss how this tormented scholar made a variety of personal and academic choices and managed to find her position in this world of imponderables. \nhttps://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/trauma-and-transcendence/ \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_brAA3a7e79Sj6D3
