SUMMARY:Japan's Local Imperialists: Expansive Ideas of Hometown and Empire within the Asia Pacific World
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nRegistration: \n\nTo register to attend this event in-person\, please register HERE. *CU ID holders only\nTo register to attend this event online\, please register HERE.\n\nSpeaker: Hannah Shepherd\, Assistant Professor\, Yale University \nModerator: Paul Kreitman\, Assistant Professor of 20th Century Japanese History\, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Columbia University \nThis talk will offer a new approach to the idea of the local within and between empires. It looks at the regional associations that connected Japan’s provincial migrants – both within colonial society abroad and back to their hometowns. The publications of these associations allow us to reconstruct snapshots of colonial society across Japan’s imperial cities. They reveal\, in the case of Fukuoka’s Prefectural Associations\, how people from this region viewed\, understood\, and moved within the Japanese empire and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu\n\n

SUMMARY:LC1: Difficult Knowledge & Inclusive Teaching (for grad students)
DESCRIPTION:\nCTLgrads Learning Community: “Would You Ever Teach This?” Difficult Knowledge and Inclusive Teaching in the Classroom (Session 1) – for graduate students \nThis two-part\, multidisciplinary Learning Community is designed to reflect on how to deal with difficult knowledge in today’s classroom. “Difficult knowledge” — contents which cause students to analyze social trauma (Britzman 1998) — has progressively moved to the foreground of pedagogical discourse\, as it interests every discipline. However\, there still is some skepticism towards difficult-knowledge issues\, which are often covered by the “knowledge-is-objective” claim. \nParticipants in this Learning Community will engage with concepts constituting “difficult knowledge” in various disciplines and prepare a portfolio or lesson plan to incorporate teaching practices that address these subjects within their own classrooms. In doing so\, participants will gain a better understanding of how to address pressing ideological issues in their teaching and how to incorporate them in their teaching. Graduate instructors in all disciplines are welcome to participate in this Learning Community. \nThis two-part Learning Community will meet in-person and is designed and facilitated by Valerie Hsieh and Valeria Spacciante\, Senior Lead Teaching Fellows at the Center for Teaching and Learning. Participants should register for and attend both sessions of this LC. Registration for Session 2 on Monday 10/31\, 2:30-4pm\, is available here. Each 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. Contact CTLgrads@columbia.edu or 212.854.1692 for accommodations. This event may be recorded and CTL staff may take screenshots. Please contact CTLgrads@columbia.edu with any concerns. \n  \n\nEvent Contact Information:\nCTLgrads\nCTLgrads@columbia.edu\n

SUMMARY:Overreach: How China Derailed its Peaceful Rise - A Book Talk by Susan Shirk Followed by a Panel
DESCRIPTION:This event is intended to be a hybrid event. In-person attendance is reserved for CUID cardholders only. In-person attendance register here. \nWebinar registration for all non-CUID holders to attend online is available here. \nFor more information\, please visit this link. \nBook Talk by Susan Shirk \nFor three decades after Mao’s death in 1976\, China’s leaders adopted a restrained approach to foreign policy. To facilitate the country’s inexorable economic ascendence\, and to prevent a backlash\, they reassured the outside world of China’s peaceful intentions. \nThen\, as Susan Shirk shows in this illuminating\, sobering\, and utterly refreshing new book\, something changed. China went from fragile superpower to global heavyweight\, muscling its way around the South China Sea\, punishing countries that disagree with China\, intimidating Taiwan\, tightening its grip on Hong Kong\, and openly challenging the United States for preeminence not just economically and technologically but militarily. China began to overreach. \nCombining her decades of research and experience\, Shirk\, author of the hugely influential China: Fragile Superpower\, argues that we are now fully embroiled in a new cold war. \nPrying open the “black box” of China’s political system\, Shirk shows the shift toward confrontation began in the mid-2000s under the mild-mannered Hu Jintao. As China’s economy boomed\, especially after the Global Financial Crisis of 2008\, Hu and the other leaders lost restraint\, abetting aggression toward the outside world and unchecked domestic social control. When Xi Jinping took power in 2012\, he capitalized on widespread official corruption and open splits in the leadership to make the case for more concentrated power at the top. \nIn the decade following\, and to the present day\, Xi has accumulated greater power than any leader since Mao. Those who implement Xi’s directives compete to outdo one another in fervor\, provoking an even greater global backlash and stoking jingoism within China on a scale not seen since the Cultural Revolution. Shirk’s extensive interviews and meticulous analysis reveal the dynamics driving overreach. To counter it\, she argues\, the worst mistake the rest of the world\, and the United States in particular\, can make is to overreact. Understanding the domestic roots of China’s actions will enable us to avoid the mistakes that could lead to war. \n(The verbiage above is from the publisher of Overreach and is not reflective of or endorsed by CWP or Columbia University) \nSusan Shirk is a Research Professor and Chair of the 21st Century China Center at the School of Global Policy and Strategy\, UC San Diego. Shirk is the author of China: Fragile Superpower\, and The Political Logic of Economic Reform in China. From 1997-2000\, she served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of East Asia and Pacific Affairs\, with responsibility for China\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong and Mongolia.’ \nPanel Discussion Following book talk: \nThomas J. Christensen is the 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. \nSusan A. Thornton is a retired senior U.S. diplomat with almost three decades of experience with the U.S. State Department in Eurasia and East Asia. She is currently a Senior Fellow and Visiting Lecturer in Law at the Yale Law School Paul Tsai China Center. She is also the director of the Forum on Asia-Pacific Security at the National Committee on American Foreign Policy and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. \nJohn K. Culver is a nonresident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub and a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) senior intelligence officer with thirty-five years of experience as a leading analyst of East Asian affairs\, including security\, economic\, and foreign-policy dimensions. Previously as national intelligence officer for East Asia from 2015 to 2018\, Culver drove the Intelligence Community’s support to top policymakers on East Asian issues and managed extensive relationships inside and outside government. \n
