SUMMARY:Social Psychological Wellbeing of Left-behind Children in Rural China: Myths\, Concerns\, and Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Study
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWeatherhead East Asian Institute Event\n\n\n\nPlease join for a lecture with: \nShenyang Guo\, Frank J. Bruno Distinguished Professor of Social Work Research\, \nBrown School of Social Work\, Washington University in St. Louis  \nModerated by: \nQin Gao\, Professor of Social Policy and Social Work\, \nColumbia School of Social Work \nThe year 2018 symbolized the 40th anniversary of China’s launch of the economic reform and open-the-door policies. The 40-years’ rapid economic development has made China the second largest economy in the world\, and brought about dramatic social changes in the country as well. One direct effect of the reforms was the creation of the so-called “left-behind children” who live in the rural areas while their parents moved to the cities for better economic opportunities. About 61 million children are estimated to be left-behind children. There are growing concerns among child-protective groups about the wellbeing of these children\, because this is a vulnerable subpopulation who lacked attachment\, warmth\, affection\, and care at a crucial age of development. \nIn this talk\, Prof. Shenyang Guo will introduce the “Let’s Be Friends—Shaanxi” project which aimed to assess and improve the social information processing skills of left-behind children. The project focused on children at ages 8-10\, a crucial age span for children’s socialization and development. Using a rich set of measures and rigorous analytical methods\, the study finds that left-behind children did not fare worse than other children. Of the 30 outcome variables examined\, only four show significant differences; the remaining 26 variables are not statistically significant with mixed findings about directions of the differences. Prof. Guo concludes that the outcomes of left-behind children may not be as bad as non-scientific news reports demonstrate\, though further research is very much needed. \nShenyang Guo is Frank J Bruno Distinguished Professor at Brown School of Washington University in St. Louis\, and the Yangtze-River Chaired Professor at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Xi’an Jiaotong University. He is the author of numerous research articles in child welfare\, child mental health services\, welfare\, and health care. He is the author/co-author of Propensity Score Analysis\, Survival Analysis\, and Structural Equation Modeling. He has expertise in applying advanced statistical models to solving social welfare problems and has taught graduate courses that address survival analysis\, hierarchical linear modeling\, growth curve modeling\, propensity score analysis\, and program evaluation. In addition\, Guo is the Editor of Sage Publications’ Advanced Quantitative Techniques in the Social Sciences Series\, serves on the editorial board of Social Service Review\, and is a frequent guest reviewer for journals seeking a critique of advanced methodological analyses. Guo is a fellow of American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare\, and a fellow of Society of Social Work and Research. At Washington University in St. Louis\, Guo is Assistant Vice Chancellor for International Affairs – Greater China. \nThis is a Weatherhead East Asian Institute Lectures and Panels event. \nNo registration required. \nCosponsored by China Center for Social Policy \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Ephemera: Science and Technology Collections on Modern China at Columbia’s Starr Library
DESCRIPTION:This workshop brings together scholars working on history of science and technology\, visual culture and art history\, to examine a body of materials from the “Ephemera Collection on Chinese Science\, Technology\, Law\, and Society”\, housed at Columbia’s Starr library.  What kinds of questions can we ask of ephemera items\, such as pamphlets\, slides\, posters and exhibition catalogues? How do these material objects rescued from “the dustbin of history” challenge conventional understandings of science and technology? How can they help us understand science and technology as practice and experience in Republican and Mao-era China? The workshop begins with an introduction to the collection\, proceeds with focused reading sessions led by scholars\, and ends with a round-table discussion. Sponsored by Weatherhead East Asia Institute\, the C. V. Starr Library\, and the Center for Science and Society. Open to the Public. No registration necessary. \nPlease see this attachment\, for the two-day workshop schedule. \n

SUMMARY:Library Orientation for Japanese Studies
DESCRIPTION:There will be two identical library orientation session for Japanese Studies. These sessions will take place at Butler 306 on Friday December 6\, 2019. \n■ Session 1:  1:00-2:30\n■ Session 2:  3:30-5:00\n\nPlease let me know which session you prefer to attend. If you have no preference and can attend either session\, please also let me know. Butler 306 has 18 workstations and I am hoping everybody can have access to a PC during this session. If necessary\, I will plan a follow-up session or do the same session again at the beginning of spring semester.\n\nEach session will be roughly 90 minutes. I am saving an extra 30 minutes after each session in case any of you have some specific questions.\n\n<文藝春秋 trial>\n\n“Bungei shunju archives https://japanknowledge.com/file/brochure/bungeisyunju_archives.pdf” is now available as a new Japan Knowledge Select database. I asked for its trial and it is available at http://www.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/cul/resolve?clio5998333.\n\nPlease check 本棚/ Book Shelf tab for browsing once you log in to Japan Knowledge. Or select 詳細(個別)検索/ Advanced Search to search the resource. 本文検索 seems to work fairly well and so far 新字/旧字 issue doesn’t seem to affect my searches. I will eventually acquire and add this as the newest JK Select content\, meanwhile trial enables us to use it during the orientation session.\n\n\n
