SUMMARY:Mongolia Between Two Giants: Cold War Lessons and Today’s Realities
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 6\, 2023\, 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM\nSpeakers: \nAmbassador Batbayar Tsedendamba\, Institute of History and Ethnology \nSergey Radchenko\, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies \nMorris Rossabi\, Columbia University and Queens College \nModerator: \nElizabeth Wishnick\, Senior Research Scientist\, China and Indo-Pacific Studies Division\, CNA\, Montclair State University; Senior Research Scholar\, WEAI\, Columbia University \nAmbassador Batbayar will discuss Mongolia’s effort to achieve a delicate balance between its two big neighbors\, namely Russia and China\, and between the Russian Federation and its so-called “third neighbor” [democratic partner] countries. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, Mongolia has endeavored to stay as neutral as possible both between Russia and China\, and between Russia and the West. This contrasts with the Cold War period\, when Mongolia was faced with intense confrontation between its two giant neighbors: Russia and China. At that time\, Mongolia had no other choice but to enter into an alliance with Moscow. \nToday Mongolia is again facing the old dilemma about maintaining equidistance from its two giant neighbors: Russia and China. But unlike Cold War era\, Mongolia has developed extensive relations with “third neighbor countries”; namely the USA\, the EU\, Japan and South Korea all have an enormous stake in Mongolia’s future as a democratic and prosperous country. Therefore\, Ulaanbaatar has a great dilemma between short-term economic gains from ties with Moscow and Beijing or a long-term commitment to Western democracy and freedom. \nDr. Rossabi will comment on the China angle. Since the 1980s\, China has become increasingly involved in Mongolia and is now Mongolia’s largest trading partner and greatest investor. Dr. Rossabi\, an expert on Mongolia and Chinese and Inner Asian history\, will address the implications of China’s significant economic role in the country. \nDr. Radchenko\, a Cold War historian who has written on Mongolia and the Sino-Soviet split\, will address Russia-Mongolia relations at the current juncture. \nSpeakers’ Bios: \nAmbassador Batbayar Tsedendamba\, is a Principal Researcher at the Institute of History and Ethnology\, Ulaanbaatar\, Mongolia and President of the Mongolian Association of International Studies.  He served as Ambassador to Cuba (2015-2018)\, Director of the Department of Policy Planning in the Mongolian Foreign Ministry (2013-15)\, and Political Counselor and Deputy Chief of Mission in the Mongolian Embassy in Beijing (2009-13).

He received his Ph.D. in history from the Institute of Far Eastern Studies in Moscow and his B.A. from Leningrad State University. He recently published a book in Mongolian on his country’s Cold War history. \nDr. Sergey Radchenko is the Wilson E. Schmidt Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He was a visiting fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and previously taught at Aberystwyth University (Wales) and East China Normal University (Shanghai). Professor Radchenko’s books include Two Suns in the Heavens: the Sino-Soviet Struggle for Supremacy (Wilson Center Press\, Stanford\, 2009) and Unwanted Visionaries: the Soviet Failure in Asia (Oxford\, 2014). \nDr. Morris Rossabi\, an historian of China\, Central and Inner Asia\, is an adjunct professor at Columbia University and a professor of History at Queens College (CUNY).

SUMMARY:LC2: Teaching and Learning While Feeling like an Imposter (Grads)
DESCRIPTION:\nCTLgrads Learning Community: Teaching and Learning While Feeling like an Imposter (Session 2) – for graduate students  \nNearly every student will deal with imposter syndrome at some point in their academic career. The problem for graduate students instructors is two-fold: how can we effectively teach students suffering from imposter syndrome? And how can we do it while we suffer ourselves? \nJoin us for an interactive two-part discussion where we tackle both these questions in kind. We will cover the latest scholarship on the topic from psychology and pedagogy and propose strategies to help make ourselves and our students feel like we all belong. Participants will come away with a greater understanding of how to spot imposter syndrome in themselves and in the classroom\, and how they can alleviate the negative impacts of both. This LC is intended for graduate students in any department. \nThis two-part Learning Community will meet in-person and is designed and facilitated by Jacob Bergquist and Bovey Rao\, 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 1 on Monday 1/30\, 2:40–3:55pm\, 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.

SUMMARY:"The Geopolitics of Anticipatory Adaptation to Climate Change: Evidence from China" with CWP Fellow Eyck Freyman
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nThe literature on climate security identifies two basic categories of climate risk. The first relates to extreme weather events and other geophysical impacts that directly affect human lives and well-being. The second relates to the cascading institutional and social consequences of geophysical impacts\, which can include migration and conflict. Freyman establishes the existence of a third kind of climate security problem: anticipatory adaptation to climate change impacts that have not yet taken place\, which triggers security dilemmas between great powers and creates new forms of interaction between great powers and small states. Freyman theorizes the phenomenon and characterizes it empirically with American\, Russian\, and Chinese scholarly and policy documents and field interviews in Greenland. \nEyck Freymann is a joint Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Belfer Center’s Arctic Initiative and the Columbia–Harvard China & the World Program\, where he researches the geopolitics of climate change. He is also a Non-Resident Research Fellow with the China Maritime Studies Institute at the U.S. Naval War College. \nHis first book\, One Belt One Road: Chinese Power Meets the World\, was published by the Harvard Asia Center Press in 2020. His writings on U.S.–China relations and other current affairs topics have appeared in The Wall Street Journal\, Foreign Affairs\, The Economist\, Foreign Policy\, and The Atlantic. As a reporter and columnist for The Wire China\, he is also the author of “The Warming War\,” a series of reports on the breakdown in climate diplomacy and its implications for the planet and the U.S.–China relationship. \nTo register to attend this event online\, please register here. \nTo register to attend this event in-person\, please register here. *CU ID holders only \n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nDaniel Suchenski\nds3750@columbia.edu\n\n
