SUMMARY:Notes from the Home Front: One Woman's Chinese Revolution\, 1897-1975
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the life of an elite woman\, raised in Beijing and educated at a missionary school during the May Fourth era. Daughter of a Beiyang reformer\, wife of a Nationalist official educated at MIT\, mother of an underground Communist revolutionary\, she herself left no direct trace in the public record. She emerges primarily in interviews with her son\, and in an unfinished and unpublished historical novel by her daughter. Filial love\, household management\, sexual propriety\, wifely duty\, maternal loyalty\, domestic cosmopolitanism\, and shrewd political judgment mingle in her story\, raising questions about where revolution lies and how we should track its less visible effects. Her life illuminates the gendered effects of China’s long revolution\, the central importance of women as symbols of the nation\, and the limits of what we can know about the past. \nSpeaker: \nGail Hershatter\, Research Professor and Distinguished Professor Emer. of History at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. \nProfessor Hershatter is a former President of the Association for Asian Studies. Her works include The Workers of Tianjin (1986\, Chinese translation 2016)\, Personal Voices: China Women in the 1980s (1988\, with Emily Honig)\, Dangerous Pleasures: Prostitution in Twentieth-Century Shanghai (1997\, Chinese translation 2003)\, Women in China’s Long Twentieth Century (2004)\, The Gender of Memory: Rural Women and China’s Collective Past (2011; Chinese translation 2017) and Women and China’s Revolutions (2019). \nModerated by JM Chris Chang\,  Asia in Action / Public Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \nThis event is the second in a four-part series for WEAI’s Asia in Action workshop series\, “Remapping the Archives: New Histories of the PRC.” \nSeries description: \nIn the present moment\, intensifying historical censorship in China–compounded by the lasting impacts of the pandemic–has severed access to the archive as we once knew it. The Modern China field has been forced to reckon with the possibility that access to PRC sources may soon become exceptional\, and that its foreclosure portends a post-archival future. What is history without archive\, or archive without history? The purpose of this four-part series is to explore promising responses by several scholars to this crisis in the archive\, both as a means of illuminating new methodological directions in PRC history as well as reexamining perennial historical questions from a new aspect. \nREGISTER \n

DESCRIPTION:\n\nRegistration: \n\nTo register to attend this event please click HERE (for CUID holders only; interested PhD students should please contact sj3185@columbia.edu)\n\nEvent Description \nConducting research in China today presents mounting challenges from many different directions.

Liebman is Robert L. Lieff Professor of Law at Columbia Law School and the director of the Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies\, the first institution of its kind at a US law school. The Center prepares students to take on leadership roles in Chinese law and provides them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in China’s rapidly changing legal environment. \nWidely known as a preeminent scholar of contemporary Chinese law\, Liebman studies Chinese court judgments\, the roles of artificial intelligence and big data in the Chinese legal system\, Chinese tort law\, Chinese criminal procedure\, and the evolution of China’s courts. His research has covered diverse topics in Chinese law over the years\, ranging from leniency in criminal law to medical dispute resolution and securities markets. \nNicholas Allyn Bartlett is an anthropologist and assistant professor in the department of Asian and Middle Eastern Cultures at Barnard College. His research interests include addiction\, labor\, and psychoanalytic approaches to group life in China.

He studies comparative politics and political economy\, focusing on the politics of elites\, organizations\, and ideas. Some of his current research projects explore the formation and transformation of political elite networks in China\, the interplay between formal rules and informal power in bureaucratic systems\, and the dynamics of ideology in changing societies. His work has appeared in the American Journal of Political Science\, the British Journal of Political Science\, the Journal of Politics\, the Journal of Public Economics\, and the Journal of Development Economics\, among others. Prior to teaching at Columbia\, he was an assistant professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Drawing on both Chinese and the US archival sources\, oral history interviews\, and an array of published sources\, her research explores how political\, social\, technological and medical infrastructure shaped the Chinese anti-cancer efforts\, and how the anti-cancer efforts\, in turn\, helped the CCP consolidate its regime. \nFor Columbia students and faculty.
