SUMMARY:Imperial Japan’s Islamic Policies in World War II
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture:  \nSupporting the Faith\, Building the Empire: Imperial Japan’s Islamic Policies in World War II \nKelly A. Hammond\, Assistant Professor of History at the University of Arkansas\, and an associate editor at The Journal of Asian Studies \nModerated by: Paul Kreitman\, Assistant Professor of Japanese History\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nThis talk will examine some of the ways that the Japanese Empire curried favors to Muslims in China\, and later throughout East Asia\, in the lead up to and throughout World War II. Drawing on examples from my recent book\, China’s Muslims and Japan’s Empire: Centering Islam in World War II\, the talk will present viewers with concrete policies and explore some of the ways that the Japanese Government envisioned themselves as the benevolent protectors of Islam while at the same time advancing their imperial\, expansionist visions. For their part\, Muslims from around the colonial world found the anti-western and anti-Soviet rhetoric expounded by the Japanese Empire appealing to a certain extent. By placing Muslims at the center of Japan’s imperial ambitions\, it becomes clear that their visions for empire went far beyond what we would now consider to be the geographic boundaries of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere into predominantly Islamic spaces like Central Asia\, the Middle East\, and North Africa. \nOrganized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University. \nOnline via Zoom. Please register here. \n

SUMMARY:LC Sess 1: Citational Practice as Critical Feminist Pedagogy (Grads)
DESCRIPTION:Register here.  \nCTLgrads Learning Community (for graduate students): Citational Practice as Critical Feminist Pedagogy\, Session 1\nWhom do we cite\, and why? What kinds of ‘stories’ do we tell our students through our syllabi\, footnotes\, and bibliographies? In this Learning Community\, we will explore how to teach and model citational practice in ways that empower our students to question and challenge dominant structures of knowledge\, intellectual genealogies\, and academic narratives. In doing so\, we will also think collectively about citation as an ethical and political practice: how can we mobilize citational practice to interrogate and dismantle racist\, misogynist\, or otherwise harmful scholarship? How can we use it meaningfully to legitimize overlooked or non-traditional sources and empower the most vulnerable or excluded voices in our fields?  \nIn the first session of this Learning Community\, participants will be introduced to critical feminist pedagogy as a framework for grappling with the political and ethical implications of academic citation\, both generally speaking and in participants’ home departments and disciplines. In the second session\, participants will develop and workshop practical strategies for enacting a critical-feminist approach to citational practice in their own classrooms and learning materials. This Learning Community is designed and facilitated by Diana Newby and Cat Lambert\, Senior Lead Teaching Fellows at the Center for Teaching and Learning.  \nThis is the first session of a two-part Learning Community; Session 2 will convene Thursday\, February 25th\, 1:10-2:25pm. Attendance at both sessions is strongly encouraged. As a complement to these sessions\, participants will be asked to complete self-guided\, asynchronous materials online prior to each session. Additional information will be shared with registrants at least 2 weeks in advance of the session.  \nThis session counts as a pedagogy workshop for the Teaching Development Program (TDP). \nColumbia University makes every effort to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Contact CTLgrads@columbia.edu for accommodations. During this online event\, CTL staff may take screenshots. For concerns\, contact CTLgrads@columbia.edu. \n
