SUMMARY:LC Session 1: Teaching with Embodied Knowledge (for Grad Students)
DESCRIPTION:\nCTLgrads Learning Community: Teaching with Embodied Knowledge: Objects\, Movement\, and Philosophy of Education (Session 1) – for graduate students\nThis two-part Learning Community is an introduction to methods of teaching that foreground embodied knowledge and objects\, with show-and-tell-like components. It models a range of practices by centering activities and discussion around objects brought into the classroom\, asking also what qualifies as an “object.” More broadly\, it asks questions regarding the philosophy of education: Why does embodied education matter? What drives students’ and instructors’ motivations for doing this work? How might one do theory\, and theorize doing? \nThis two-part Learning Community will be held in person and will be co-facilitated by Emily FitzGerald and Y. L. Lucy Wang\, Senior Lead Teaching Fellows at the Center for Teaching and Learning. Participants are strongly encouraged to register for and attend both sessions of this LC and will be asked to complete brief online\, asynchronous activities to supplement discussions in each session. Registration for Session 2 on March 7th\, 4:10-5:25pm\, is available here. Registration for this event will close at 11:55pm on Sunday\, February 27th. For same-day registration\, please email CTLgrads@columbia.edu. \nEach session of this LC counts as a Pedagogy Workshop for the Teaching Development Program (TDP). See the TDP FAQs for more information about obtaining credit for this and other graduate student-led events through the CTL. \n— \nColumbia University makes every effort to accommodate individuals with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Dispute Inflation
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Todd H. Hall\, Oxford University \nMuch work has examined the phenomenon of dispute escalation\, whereby the concrete measures state actors take edge them closer to war. Less attention has been devoted to the ways in which state actors’ perceptions of what is at stake in a dispute can also change\, with important consequences for the likelihood of conflict. This paper examines the phenomenon of dispute inflation— whereby a contest over an object or issue takes on ever greater stakes and significance for its protagonists—and identifies three different mechanisms that generate increasing non-material stakes. The upshot is that even a minor dispute can theoretically grow into a major conflict due to swelling stakes\, especially when dispute inflation spirals. To illustrate these dynamics at work\, this paper looks to recent developments in the dispute between the People’s Republic of China and Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. \nSpeaker Bio: \nProf Hall earned his PhD from the University of Chicago in 2008 and has held postdoctoral fellowships at Princeton and Harvard\, as well as visiting scholar appointments at the Free University of Berlin\, Tsinghua University in Beijing\, and the University of Tokyo. Prior to joining the University of Oxford\, Prof Hall held the position of Assistant Professor in Political Science at the University of Toronto (2010-2013). Research interests extend to the areas of international relations theory; the intersection of emotion\, affect\, and foreign policy; and Chinese foreign policy. Recent publications include articles in International Organization\, International Security\, International Studies Quarterly\, International Studies Review\, Political Psychology\, Political Science Quarterly\, and Security Studies. Prof Hall has also published a book with Cornell University Press\, titled Emotional Diplomacy: Official Emotion on the International Stage\, which was recently named co-recipient of the International Studies Association’s 2016 Diplomatic Studies Section Book Award. \nThis event is sponsored by the Columbia-Harvard China and the World Program and cosponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:China is Not a Donor
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe Weatherhead East Asian Institute and the Jerome A. Chazen Institute for Global Business are pleased to announce the Twelfth Annual N.T Wang Distinguished Lecture “China is Not a Donor” featuring Deborah Brautigam\, Bernard L. Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy and Director of the China Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins University\, and moderated by Thomas J. Christensen\, James T. Shotwell Professor of International Relations and Director of the China and the World program in the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. \nThe nature of Chinese lending in risky countries remains poorly understood. Drawing on data on Chinese loans\, creditors and contractors\, and case studies of Chinese lending in Zambia\, Kenya\, Montenegro and Sri Lanka\, this talk illustrates three areas in which misunderstandings create challenges. First\, China is often portrayed as a monolithic\, highly coordinated actor. Our research suggests instead that project finance from China can be highly fragmented\, uncoordinated\, and even chaotic. A second common fallacy is to assume all Chinese funding is “foreign aid” and then compare its terms or impact with funding offered by the World Bank\, or bilateral donors. Our research suggests that Chinese foreign aid is a tiny fraction of all Chinese lending; the appropriate “apples to apples” comparisons will often be export credit agencies\, private commercial banks\, commodity traders\, and even Eurobonds. Finally\, some journalists\, pundits and policymakers have promoted the idea that Chinese banks deliberately lend to risky countries to secure strategic assets. We question the evidence for “debt trap diplomacy” and suggest instead that China Eximbank suffers from “Tazara Syndrome” – a megaproject bias that can be traced back to the iconic African railway of the 1970s. \nSpeaker Bios: \nDr. Deborah Brautigam is the Bernard L. Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy and Director of the China Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). A Sinologist with extensive Africa research experience\, she is the author of over 50 journal articles and book chapters. Her most recent books include The Dragon’s Gift: The Real Story of China in Africa (Oxford UP\, 2010) and Will Africa Feed China? (Oxford UP\, 2015)\, and Taxation and State-Building in Developing Countries (Cambridge UP\, 2008). Before joining SAIS in 2012\, she taught at Columbia University and American University. Her research on China and Africa has been supported by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)\, the Centre for Economic Policy and Research (CEPR)\, and the Carnegie Corporation of New York. \nThomas J. Christensen is the Interim Dean of SIPA\, James T. Shotwell Professor of International Relations and Director of the China and the World Program at Columbia University.  He arrived in 2018 from Princeton University where he was William P. Boswell Professor of World Politics of Peace and War\, Director of the Princeton-Harvard China and the World Program\, and faculty director of the Masters of Public Policy Program and the Truman Scholars Program.   From 2006-2008 he served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs with responsibility for relations with China\, Taiwan\, and Mongolia. His research and teaching focus on China’s foreign relations\, the international relations of East Asia\, and international security.  His most recent book\, The China Challenge:  Shaping the Choices of a Rising Power (W.W. Norton) was an editors’ choice at the New York Times Book Review\, a “Book of the Week” on CNN”s Fareed Zakaria GPS\, and the Arthur Ross Book Award Silver Medalist at the Council on Foreign Relations. \nThis event is cosponsored by the China and the World Program at Columbia University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nSusie Anthony\nsa4062@columbia.edu\n\n REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Sovereign Tricksters: Death and Laughter in the Age of Duterte
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \nVicente L. Rafael is Professor of History and Southeast Asian studies at the University of Washington and author of The Sovereign Trickster (Duke University Press\, 2022). He is also the author of Motherless Tongues: The Insurgency of Language amid Wars of Translation; The Promise of the Foreign: Nationalism and the Technics of Translation in the Spanish Philippines; White Love and Other Events in Filipino History; and Contracting Colonialism: Translation and Christian Conversion in Tagalog Society under Early Spanish Rule\, all also published by Duke University Press. \nRafael weaves together topics ranging from the drug war\, policing\, and extrajudicial killings to neoliberal citizenship\, intimacy\, and photojournalism to examine what Duterte does: how he rules\, the rhetoric of his humor\, his use of obscenity to stoke fear\, and his projection of masculinity and misogyny. By diagnosing the symptoms of the authoritarian imaginary as it circulates in the Philippines\, Rafael provides a complex account of Duterte’s regime and the social conditions that allow him to enjoy continued support. \nModerator: John Gershman\, Clinical Professor of Public Service\, Director of the International Specialization\, and Director of International Capstone Programs at NYU Wagner and NYSEAN co-founder. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the New York Southeast Asia Network\, Sulo: The Philippine Studies Initiative at NYU\, the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies\, and the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nSreyneath Poole\nsp3743@columbia.edu\n\n REGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
