SUMMARY:Early China Seminar Lecture Series | Fields\, Markets and Trees: Contending Paradigms of Growth: Romain Grazian
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Fields\, Markets and Trees: Contending Paradigms of Growth in Early China”\nSpeaker: Romain Graziani\, École Normale Supérieure de Lyon\nTime: March 12\, 2021 (9:00-11:00 AM EST)\nThe event will be held via Zoom. Please click on “Request Pre-circulated Paper” to register for the event. \nSponsored by\nTang Center for Early China;\nDepartment of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University;\nColumbia University Seminars \nThe words “Fields\,” “Markets” and “Trees” encapsulate three economic orientations\, three distinct political agendas\, and three rival visions of the natural world in early China. The first paradigm I shall examine\, whose emblem is the field (arable land and battlefield) determines one major strand of economic thought. I will question its rationale and its assumptions according to which exclusive agricultural development is the only avenue to the reinforcement of the state. The second paradigm\, which centers on the image of the market (with its complex semantic gradient from the village fair to the locus where state-wide forces of supply and demand converge)\, makes way for an alternative model of economic growth based on the promotion and/or partial rehabilitation of merchants and traders\, in a more sophisticated view of wealth. The third paradigm\, symbolized by wild untrimmed trees\, reflects a powerful reaction of certain pre-imperial thinkers against the coercive domestication and selection of plants\, animals and humans by a centralized and increasingly bureaucratized state. After describing how these rival paradigms of human and social development took shape during the pre-imperial period and exploring their dialectical interactions in major written sources of the preimperial an early imperial periods (Shangjunshu\, Guanzi\, Zhuangzi\, Yantielun)\, I will question their rationale\, their goals\, their strengths and limitations\, their ideological underpinnings\, and the kind of human activities they tend to promote or proscribe in the elite as well as among commoners. \nAll Meetings will be on Friday\, 4:30-6:30PM\, unless otherwise noted\, open to members\, affiliates\, and graduate students. \nDue to the extraordinary circumstances of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\, we have decided to move the seminars online for  2020-2021.  All seminars will be hosted via Zoom on Fridays\, but the start and end times may vary due to time differences of the speaker. \nRequested Pre-Circulated Paper.  \n

SUMMARY:Considering the Whole Self in Teaching & Learning (Grad Students) S1
DESCRIPTION:This is a 2-part CIRTL workshop led Columbia graduate students for a national audience\, and is an opportunity to join an national conversation around teaching and learning. To join this event\, please register at the CIRTL workshop here: https://www.cirtl.net/events/943. Registration ends 3/5 for this event that runs on Friday 3/12 and 3/26. \nIt is no secret that stress\, anxiety\, and other mental health challenges are prevalent in higher education. In fact\, in recent years\, more students have reported experiencing negative academic impacts from stress than from the common cold and flu (c.f.\, NCHA\, 2019). Yet the standard mental health policies we include in our syllabi often frame these experiences as something to be addressed solely outside of the classroom. This two-part workshop takes a different approach\, recognizing that instructors and TAs have the power to support and prioritize students’ (and our own) physical and mental wellbeing in the classroom\, and that doing so can foster student learning. This re-centering of health and wellbeing is crucial now more than ever\, as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic intersect with and amplify pre-existing stressors for teachers and learners\, including but not limited to anti-Black racism\, political turmoil\, and increasingly common climate disasters. \nIn this two-part workshop\, participants will explore the relationships between mental and emotional health\, the human body\, and learning. Through a combination of asynchronous modules and synchronous workshop and discussion sessions\, participants will frame the literature of mental health and bodily awareness in the classroom with their lived experience and leave with concrete methods of incorporating new insights into their own practice\, with a particular focus on creating learning objectives and designing assessments that consider and support the whole student. These novel approaches will help students and teachers to experience more positive\, rewarding\, and healthy class spaces\, and to support each other in working toward this vision. \n

SUMMARY:Pacific Crossings: Wango Weng and his Film Collection at Columbia
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a panel discussion: \nOrganized by Ying Qian (Assistant Professor of Chinese Cinema and Media\, Columbia EALAC) and Jim Cheng (Director\, the C.V. Starr Library) \nIntroduced by Eugenia Lean (Director\, WEAI and Professor of Chinese History\, Columbia EALAC) \nPanelists: \nCharlotte Brooks (Professor of History\, CUNY Baruch College) \nJane Gaines (Professor of Film\, Columbia University) \nCaroline Hsu-Balcer (Filmmaker\, designer and art programmer) \nSsu Weng (Physician\, daughter of Wango Weng) \nYanqiu Zheng (Assistant Professor of History\, Misericordia University) \nAs research in East Asian studies moves away from the national paradigm to pay more attention to transnational connections and diasporic communities\, this roundtable is the first of a series of events that trace transpacific film and media connections as prisms to examine larger historical processes of war\, migration\, racialized capitalism\, cultural diplomacy and community organizing. \nWango Weng (1918-2020) was a Chinese American filmmaker\, art historian and collector. He came to the US in 1938 to study engineering at Purdue\, and later on\, entered University of Wisconsin\, Madison to study painting. In 1948\, he brought his family’s massive art collection to the US.\, where he then settled for life. He began making films in the 1940s\, mostly producing for the U.S. educational film market and covering topics related to Chinese art and history. He was also active in the Chinese American community\, and served as the president of the Chinese Institute from 1982 to 1987. Mr. Weng passed away at 102 on December 9th\, 2020\, after donating his family art collection to museums in the US (the MFA) and in China (the Shanghai Museum and others)\, and his film collection to the C.V. Starr Library at Columbia. \nThis roundtable brings together historians and film scholars on both China and America\, and Mr. Weng’s family and friend\, to discuss Mr. Weng’s filmmaking in the US\, his connections to China’s film industry\, and his engagements with the China Institute\, the Chinese American community and American society at large. \nAudience are encouraged to watch prior to the round table a short film shot by Wango Weng in 1948\, on his last trip to his hometown Changshu before settling in the US\, entitled A Town On the Yangtze (full 10-min film streamed here https://wp.nyu.edu/orphanfilm/2020/05/26/weng/).  \nSponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and the C.V Starr East Asian Library at Columbia University. \nOnline via Zoom. Please register here.  \n
