SUMMARY:Alternative Food Movement in China
DESCRIPTION: \n  \nSpeaker: Caroline Merrifield (Ph.D.\, Anthropology\, Yale University\, 2018)\, independent scholar\nModerated by: Dorothy Ko\, Professor of History\, Barnard College \nA huge component of Dr. Merrifield’s field research was studying food provisioning – she served as an informal apprentice to the head of procurement at a farm-to-table restaurant in Hangzhou. She will talk about the restaurant’s supplier network and foodshed within the larger context of the alternative food movement and the cultural politics of food in China. Why is food a potent site for social organizing? Why are food safety scandals so anxiety-producing – and why might food be occasioning new forms of social connection and solidarity? Finally\, she will share her understanding of food as a method (rather than a topic/object); the sensory\, affective\, and material properties of food can afford unexpected insight into memory\, history\, and politics. \nSpeaker Bio: Caroline Merrifield received an MPhil and a PhD in sociocultural anthropology from Yale University\, and an AB from Harvard College in Social Studies. Her research investigates food sourcing arrangements in China’s alternative food movement\, which has emerged against a background of urgent public concern over food safety. In this research\, food is a crucial site for investigating problems of moral consensus-making in a time of Chinese “moral crisis.” Caroline’s work engages with theories of kinship\, moral economy\, trust and risk\, agrarian change and urbanization\, taste and flavor\, and the state. She is currently preparing a book manuscript based on her dissertation project\, Eating Against the Grain in Late Socialist China. \nNo registration required\nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu\n \n

SUMMARY:Ocean of Milk\, Ocean of Blood: a Mongolian Monk in the Ruins of Qing Empire
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Matthew King\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Religious Studies\, University of California\, Riverside \nModerated by: Gray Tuttle\, Leila Hadley Luce Professor of Modern Tibetan Studies\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nAfter the fall of the Qing empire\, amid nationalist and socialist upheaval\, Buddhist monks in the Mongolian frontiers of the Soviet Union and Republican China faced a chaotic and increasingly uncertain world. In this book\, Matthew W. King tells the story of one Mongolian monk’s efforts to defend Buddhist monasticism in revolutionary times\, revealing an unexplored landscape of countermodern Buddhisms beyond old imperial formations and the newly invented national subject. \nOcean of Milk\, Ocean of Blood takes up the perspective of the polymath Zawa Damdin (1867–1937): a historian\, mystic\, logician\, and pilgrim whose life and works straddled the Qing and its socialist aftermath\, between the monastery and the party scientific academy. Drawing on contacts with figures as diverse as the Dalai Lama\, mystic monks in China\, European scholars inventing the field of Buddhist studies\, and a member of the Bakhtin Circle\, Zava Damdin labored for thirty years to protect Buddhist tradition against what he called the “bloody tides” of science\, social mobility\, and socialist party antagonism. Through a rich reading of his works\, King reveals that modernity in Asia was not always shaped by epochal contact with Europe and that new models of Buddhist life\, neither imperial nor national\, unfolded in the post-Qing ruins. The first book to explore countermodern Buddhist monastic thought and practice along the Inner Asian frontiers during these tumultuous years\, Ocean of Milk\, Ocean of Blood illuminates previously unknown religious and intellectual legacies of the Qing and offers an unparalleled view of Buddhist life in the revolutionary period. \n\nNo registration required. \nFor press inquiries\, please contact Ariana King at ak4364@columbia.edu \nThis event is organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.\nEvent Contact Information:\nAthina Fontenot\n212-854-6916\naf3018@columbia.edu\n

SUMMARY:Course Design Seminar (for Graduate Students)
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in designing a syllabus for a course you plan to teach? Are you approaching the job market and looking to demonstrate how you approach teaching within your discipline by creating a syllabus to submit with your materials? Apply to the Course Design Seminar to explore evidence-based\, inclusive instructional design practices and create a learner-centered syllabus of your own design. In this four-week seminar\, participants apply the principles of backward design and inclusive teaching to develop context-specific learning objectives\, aligned and scaffolded assessments\, and a range of engaging activities that facilitate student learning within the context of a single course. This seminar is presented as a learning community in which participants give and receive peer feedback on in- and out-of-class assignments. Participants who attend all workshops and complete all assignments will receive a letter from the CTL certifying completion. Completion of this seminar also fulfills the Intensive Seminar requirement of the Advanced Track of the Teaching Development Program. Meetings will be Thursday 10/10\, 10/17\, 10/24\, and 10/31\, 5-7pm\, 212 Butler Library. Applications will be accepted through October 4.
