SUMMARY:Aging in China: Labor Participation\, Retirement\, Pension and Long-term Care Insurance
DESCRIPTION:China’s population is ageing rapidly at a rate that surpasses most of its Asian neighbors and advanced economies in the West. In 2015\, 10.5% of the population was aged 65+\, and this number is projected to grow to 26.1% by 2050. Evidencing increases in life expectancy\, the growth of the 80+ population from 22 million (or 1.5%) in 2015 to an expected 115 million (or 8.2%) by 2050 is particularly consequential. The challenges presented by the ageing of China’s population are vast and complex. This session examines the effect of ageing on economic growth\, labor market decisions and the opportunities and challenges in financing elder care to meet the needs of the ageing population. \nThis session brings together leading experts to share their research on these important issues. The session will start with a brief introduction by Winnie Yip\, followed by four presentations and commentaries and moderated discussions with discussants. There will be plenty of time for exchanges and interactions with the online audience as well. \nFor more information\, visit https://www.healtheconomics.org/page/PreCongressSessionJuly8-12pm-2pmGMT.

SUMMARY:Archives\, Libraries\, and Databases in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nFeng-yuan Hsu\, National Archives Administration\nShiuon Chu\, Academia Sinica\, Institute of Modern History\nHsi-yuan Chen\, Academia Sinica\, Institute of History and Philology and Academia Sinica Center for Digital Cultures\nHsiao Ya-Hung\, Academia Sinica\, Institute of Modern History Archives \nModerator:\nDavid Cheng Chang\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology \nEmily Baum (University of California\, Irvine) and Denise Y. Ho (Yale University) present the second annual webinar series\, Doing Chinese History (in a New Era). Designed for—but not exclusive to—graduate students and junior scholars in Chinese history and Chinese studies\, these webinars aim to address persistent challenges in research and professional development. \nWebinar 2 builds on the popularity of last year’s webinars—especially one on digital sources(link is external) and one on archives outside of China(link is external)—to focus on research in Taiwan. This year we feature four scholars who are professional archivists as well as historians and invite them to introduce archival\, digital\, and library resources in Taiwan. Featured collections include those of Academia Sinica and the National Archives Administration. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://yale.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MrnuGNTpRtqNqTEeSYpMoQ(link is external) \nThis series is sponsored by the Long US-China Institute (University of California\, Irvine) and the Council on East Asian Studies (Yale University)\, with support from: \n\nHoover Institution\, Project on China’s Global Sharp Power\, Stanford University\nCentre for Asian Research\, York University\nDepartment of History\, Simon Fraser University\nEast Asian Studies Program\, Johns Hopkins University\nInstitute of Asian Research\, UBC\nCenter for East Asian Studies\, Stanford University\nFairbank Center\, Harvard University\nEast Asian Studies Program\, UC Santa Cruz\nGlobal China Center\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology\nHong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences\, University of Hong Kong

SUMMARY:Historical Network Research in Chinese Studies
DESCRIPTION:Friday July 23 – Satuday\, July 24\, 2021 | 9:00 – 11:30 AM EDT\nFriday July 30 – Satuday\, July 31\, 2021 | 9:00 – 11:30 AM EDT \nFor more information\, including an agenda and speaker list\, please visit: https://fccsdigitalchina.github.io/hnrcs2021/ \nNetwork analysis is a burgeoning field in East Asian digital humanities. In recent years\, the digitization of source materials\, the proliferation of databases\, as well as the development of digital tools\, have greatly facilitated the study of networks in Chinese studies. To promote interdisciplinary dialogue between network scholars specializing in different periods of China and beyond\, Henrike Rudolph and CHEN Song\, edited a special issue for the Journal of Historical Network Research. Based on stellar contributions to the special issue\, this conference showcases recent scholarship that applies the methodology and technology of network analysis to the study of diverse topics in Chinese history. \nThe conference features a mix of multi-paper panels\, project presentations\, and hands-on workshops. Multi-paper panels feature scholarship empowered by network analysis and stimulate further discussion on the methodology and its application to the study of Chinese history; project presentations give brief introductions to databases and web platforms for network analysis and visualization; and workshops are interactive and focus on technical know-hows and encourage more scholars to dip their toes in this field. We aim to strike a balance between workshops for beginners and those for scholars who have already had some experience with the network analysis approach. The conference will be held on Zoom and on the mornings of July 23\, 24\, 30\, and 31. To reach out to as wide an audience as possible\, the conference will be hosted by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. We will hold the conference from 9am to 11:30am EDT\, so that people from the US West Coast\, Europe and East Asia can all participate. \nRegistration is free but will allow for better planning. We use one Zoom link for all sessions on each conference day. Therefore\, attendees must register separately for each day of conference\, but they do not need to register separately for each individual session. We will send out pertinent materials (e.g.\, paper abstracts\, handouts\, links to data and software) prior to each day of conference. To receive these materials\, attendees must register no later than 11:59 p.m. EDT on July 21 (for July 23 and 24 sessions) and July 28 (for July 30 and 31 sessions). \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://fccsdigitalchina.github.io/hnrcs2021/#/registration

SUMMARY:Nancy Steinhardt - Convergence and Entanglement:  Reconsidering the Mongol Architectural Narrative
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nancy Steinhardt\, Professor of East Asian Art and Curator of Chinese Art\, University of Pennsylvania \nAmong approximately four hundred buildings that survive in China from the period of Mongolian rule\, 1271-1368\, about one percent have features that sharply distinguish them from the rest: a pagoda\, a minaret\, an observatory\, a mausoleum\, and rock-carved architecture are examples. The pagoda\, minaret\, and observatory are put forth in any study that seeks to prove the infiltration of foreign architecture into China during the Mongol century.\nWe are pleased to invite Professor Nancy Steinhardt\, Professor of East Asian Art at UPenn and Curator of Chinese Art at the University of Pennsylvania Museum\, to present part of her work on the narrative of Chinese architecture during Mongolian rule.\nThis lecture\, “Convergence and Entanglement: Reconsidering the Mongol Architectural Narrative” re-examines these buildings and their relation in the scope of Chinese architecture. The five buildings featured in this talk calls for a reconsideration of the impact of Mongolian rule on Chinese architecture\, guided by the themes of convergence and entanglement. The lecture comes as part of CAMLab Embodied Architecture project\, endeavoring to highlight the work of Chinese architects. \nNancy Steinhardt is Professor of East Asian Art and Curator of Chinese Art at the University of Pennsylvania where she has taught since 1982. She received her PhD at Harvard in 1981 and was a Junior Fellow at Harvard from 1978-81. Steinhardt taught at Bryn Mawr from 1981-1982. She has broad research interests in the art and architecture of China and China’s border regions\, particularly problems that result from the interaction between Chinese art and that of peoples to the North\, Northeast\, and Northwest. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ORWTbEjCRr6ByTiAXdGwDg
