SUMMARY:CrossAsia Integrated Text Repository Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Brent Hou-leong Ho\, East Asia Department\, Berlin State Library (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin) \nAt the April meeting of the East Asian Digital Scholarship Series\, Matthias Kaun\, director of Berlin State Library’s East Asia Department\, introduced the CrossAsia platform (https://crossasia.org) to our audience. The CrossAsia Integrated Text Repository (ITR) currently archives about 355\,000 titles with 54.2 million pages of textual resources of East Asian research materials in various languages. Building on top of these resources\, CrossAsia provides a set of DH services for exploring and visualizing the large collections\, including two modes of full text searches\, an N-gram service\, and an exploration service. The ITR Explorer allows users to compare search results produced by different combinations of keywords using SET operations (AND – Intersection\, OR – Union and NOT – Subtraction). Users can then visualize the overlaps and differences of the search results\, and in terms of their distributions over time\, to understand how the keywords are jointly\, complementarily\, or uniquely represented in the collections and their interrelations. \nIn the EADS June workshop\, Dr. Brent Ho\, one of the developers behind the DH services of the CrossAsia platform\, will briefly talk about the ITR infrastructure and will demonstrate how to use the ITR services to bring new insights and perspectives to your research. East Asian researchers and librarians are welcomed to this workshop. \nThe East Asian Digital Scholarship Series\, initiated by James Cheng and founded by Feng-en Tu and Sharon Yang\, has been a monthly luncheon at Harvard-Yenching Library. This year\, the Series will be conducted remotely and is sponsored by Harvard-Yenching Library with the support of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies\, and Korea Institute. The Series will cover a wide range of topics in East Asian digital scholarship. \nThe webinar will be conducted via Zoom. Participants will be required to register at http://bit.ly/EADS-ITR.

SUMMARY:Meaningful Ageing: Shaping a Better Future for China’s Elderly
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, June 21\, 2021 – 8:30-10:30 PM EDT\nTuesday\, June 22\, 2021 – 8:30-10:30 AM EDT \nThe challenges presented by the ageing of China’s population are vast and complex. Not only does ageing have major impacts on labor supply\, savings\, economic growth and social and family relationships\, ageing also necessitates re-imagining social systems—such as healthcare\, eldercare\, pension and housing—in order to sustainably support the elderly population in ageing well and living a meaningful life in China. The government has made confronting these challenges a national policy priority\, as seen in the 14th Five-Year Plan. The prominence of ageing in this national policy planning blueprint and the issue’s inclusion in subsequent talks by senior policymakers signify its importance for ensuring sustainable economic and social development into the future. \nThis event\, hosted by the Harvard China Health Partnership and Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, seeks to develop new and innovative ideas to help China develop a health and eldercare system to meet the needs of its ageing population in light of demographic shifts. Over multiple sessions\, we will assemble an interdisciplinary group of experts to share their ideas\, research and practical experience that could be adapted to the Chinese cultural\, social and institutional contexts. \nFor a complete agenda and speaker list\, click here. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-NZAPfx1Q5C72MMlwExV_Q
