SUMMARY:Public Transfers and Inequality in China
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture with: \nWang Feng\, Professor of Sociology\, UC Irvine \nModerated by: \nQin Gao\, Professor of Social Policy and Social Work; Director\, China Center for Social Policy \nWith expanded fiscal capacity and rising concerns over economic inequality\, the Chinese government in the last decade and a half has vastly rebuilt and expanded its social welfare regime. Using the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) methodology and both micro-level survey data and macro-level government statistics\, this study examines the distribution of public transfers in education\, health care and pension across generations and income groups in 2014 and compare it with those in 2010. While per capita public transfers in absolute terms remained in favor of higher-income groups and the elderly in 2014\, as in 2010\, the gap in receiving public transfers between the rich and the poor was reduced notably in this short time period. Public transfers also became more progressive in relative terms\, with the bottom income group receiving much higher public transfers relative to their per capita household income than the wealthier groups. These results reveal that although the unequal distribution of public transfers continues and it in part results from the fragmented program design and the legacies of socialist inequalities\, China’s expanded social welfare programs have contributed to narrowing the vast income inequality in this country. \nThis event will be conducted via Zoom. Registration required. To register\, please visit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/public-transfers-and-inequality-in-china-tickets-123523539231 \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, the School of Social Work & China Center for Social Policy at Columbia University. \n\nEvent Contact Information:\nAthina Fontenot\n212-854-6916\naf3018@columbia.edu\n

SUMMARY:Essentials of Teaching and Learning: Assessment and Feedback (for Graduate Students)
DESCRIPTION:Join the CTL for a workshop for graduate students focused on giving you tools to assess students accurately\, efficiently\, and encouragingly. In this workshop\, you will learn approaches for assessing student learning and providing feedback that encourages students to focus more on their improvement and less on bottom line scores. We will introduce tools to help streamline and standardize assessment and feedback\, while helping students better understand what is valuable in the topic and discipline. Breakout groups during this session will allow you to focus your discussion on written assignments or problem sets. \nPrior to this session\, participants are expected to have completed a 20-minute module on Canvas. To get started on the module\, self-enroll in the Essentials Canvas site here: https://courseworks2.columbia.edu/enroll/CBT7BT. \n***Registration will close the night before the live session.*** \nBy the end of this session\, participants should be able to: \n– Describe the difference between formative and summative assessments.\n– Develop the values and concepts that underlay meaningful\, relevant\, and accessible feedback.\n– Plan activities you can use with your students to measure students’ learning and get feedback on your teaching. \nThe Essentials of Teaching and Learning workshop series for graduate students is focused on giving you tools as a new or developing instructor to better facilitate student learning and improve your teaching practice. These workshops are best experienced sequentially. \nThis is the last of 4 sessions being held at the same time on the following dates:\n– Creating an Inclusive Course Climate\, 9/16\n– Backward Design and Learning Objectives\, 9/23\n– Active Learning\, 9/30\n– Assessment and Feedback for Learning\, 10/7\nFor more information and registration links for these additional sessions\, see: https://ctl.columbia.edu/graduate-instructors/programs-for-graduate-students/workshops-for-graduate-students/essentials/. \nAttending this workshop and posting reflections satisfies a Foundational Track requirement for participants in the Teaching Development Program (TDP). See bit.ly/ctl-tdp for details. \n*Please note that this is not a Zoom training session. If you would like an overview of Zoom and its features\, you can attend a CUIT live training session\, held Tuesdays and Fridays from 12:00pm-1:00pm\, or view a recorded training session.

DESCRIPTION:\nOnline Event: Register for the Event\n\n\n\n\nAs fires\, floods and other disasters mount\, so do stress and trauma. Columbia Journalism School and the Center for Public Integrity are hosting a conversation for disaster survivors\, mental-health experts and communities grappling with these increasingly common events. With the pandemic layering on top of extreme weather\, experts worry about an unprecedented mental health crisis. \nSome topics we’ll tackle in this discussion: \nHow disasters and their aftermaths challenge mental health \nStrategies for individuals\, groups and communities to support psychological wellbeing after disasters \nWays to address the overlapping impact of inequality and disasters \nHow reporters can bring attention to this issue by covering disasters with an eye on mental-health impacts \nPublic Integrity and Columbia Journalism Investigations\, Columbia’s post-graduate reporting program\, joined forces with news organizations around the country to report on these issues. We heard from more than 200 survivors and mental-health professionals about their experiences. We’ll share some key findings and hear from panelists with deep expertise. \nThe discussion will be kicked off by Kristen Lombardi\, the CJI editor\, and Jamie Smith Hopkins\, a Public Integrity reporter and co-editor on the project. \nOur panelists: \nHilton Kelley\, a community advocate in Port Arthur\, Texas\, and survivor of Hurricane Harvey; he is a nationally known environmental justice activist and recipient of the 2011 Goldman Environmental Prize \nDr. Annelle Primm\, a community psychiatry expert and chair of the All Healers Mental Health Alliance\, a group that taps volunteers to fill gaps in the government response to disaster-struck communities of color \nDr. Irwin Redlener\, senior research scholar with Columbia University’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness and author of “Americans At Risk: Why We Are Not Prepared For Megadisasters and What We Can Do Now.” \n\nEvent Contact Information:\nMaria Elena Cabral\n212 854 1124\necabral@columbia.edu\n
