SUMMARY:Social Protection under Authoritarianism: Health Politics and Policy in China
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture with: \nXian Huang\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, Rutgers University \nModerated by: Qin Gao\, Professor of Social Policy and Social Work; Director\, China Center for Social Policy \nThe event will be conducted online via Zoom. Please register here.  \nWhy would an authoritarian regime expand social welfare provision in the absence of democratization? Yet China\, the world’s largest and most powerful authoritarian state\, has expanded its social health insurance system at an unprecedented rate\, increasing enrollment from 20 percent of its population in 2000 to 95 percent in 2012. Significantly\, people who were uninsured\, such as peasants and the urban poor\, are now covered\, but their insurance is less comprehensive than that of China’s elite. With the wellbeing of 1.4 billion people and the stability of the regime at stake\, social health insurance is now a major political issue for Chinese leadership and ordinary citizens. \nIn this book talk\, Xian Huang analyzes the transformation of China’s social health insurance in the first decade of the 2000s\, addressing its expansion and how it is distributed. Drawing from government documents\, filed interviews\, survey data\, and government statistics\, she reveals that Chinese leaders have a strategy of “stratified expansion\,” perpetuating a particularly privileged program for the elites while developing an essentially modest health provision for the masses. She contends that this strategy effectively balances between elites and masses to maximize the regime’s prospects of stability. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the School of Social Work\, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and the China Center for Social Policy at Columbia University. \n

SUMMARY:Corporate Conquests: Business\, The State\, and The Origins of Ethnic Inequality in Southwest China with author Pat Giersch
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture with: \nPat Giersch\, Professor of History\, Wellesley College \nModerated by: Elizabeth Reynolds\, Post-Doctoral Research Associate\, History Department\, Washington University in St. Louis \nTenacious patterns of inequality persist in the rural\, largely minority regions of China’s north- and southwest. Such inequality is commonly attributed to geography\, access to resources\, and recent political developments. In Corporate Conquests\, C. Patterson Giersch provides a desperately-needed challenge to these conventional understandings by tracing the disempowerment of minority communities to the very beginnings of China’s modern development. Focusing on the emergence of private and state corporations in Yunnan Province\, ca the 1870s-1956\, the book reveals how entrepreneurs centralized corporate power even as they expanded their businesses throughout the Southwest and into Tibet\, Southeast Asia\, and eastern China. Bringing wealth and cosmopolitan lifestyles to their hometowns\, the merchant-owners also gained greater access to commodities at the expense of the Southwest’s many indigenous communities. Meanwhile\, new concepts of development shaped the creation of state-run corporations\, which further concentrated resources in the hands of outsiders. The book reveals how important new ideas and structures of power\, now central to the Communist Party’s repertoire of rule and oppression\, were forged\, not along China’s east coast\, but along the nation’s internal borderlands. It is a must-read for anyone wishing to learn about China’s unique state capitalism and its contribution to inequality. \nThis event will be streamed live on WEAI’s YouTube Channel.  \nThis event is organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and co-sponsored by the Modern Tibetan Studies Program at Columbia University. \n

SUMMARY:Building Solidarities: Building Historical Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:Guests: Chris Cornelius\, Elsa Hoover\, and Nick Estes \nTo receive a research guide and link to attend\, register by emailing the event title and date to buildingsolidarities@gmail.com. \nIndigenous thinking on infrastructure and architecture as sites for historical consciousness and contemporary creative practice in North America. Web/podcast by The Red Nation (www.therednation) \nAbout Building Solidarities: Racial Justice in the Built Environment \nBuilding Solidarities is a form of mutual pedagogy between the campus and the public\, through dialogues on urgent questions about constructed environments\, urban life\, and ecologies. \nBuilding Solidarities: Racial Justice in the Built Environment foregrounds the communities of Minneapolis\, Nairobi\, and New York\, in dialogues between students\, activists\, artists\, and academics. \nWhile building mutual solidarities between our campus and our partners\, we aim to extend the political imaginaries\, community futures\, and solidarities that our partners may build with each other. As we study racial and environmental complexities and injustices\, we remain vigilantly reflexive about the relationship between our campus and our neighbors\, in Harlem and elsewhere. \nThe series is supported by the course “Colonial Practices\,” taught by Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi. Web/podcasts are hosted by community organizations.  \n
