SUMMARY:"Villagers in the City": Chinese Migrant Youth Amidst Urbanization
DESCRIPTION:\nSpeaker: Shuang Lu\, Assistant Professor\, School of Social Work\, University of Central Florida \nModerator: Qin Gao\, Professor and Director of China Center for Social Policy\, Columbia School of Social Work \nUrbanization has prompted worldwide family migration. This study examines the psychosocial impact of rural-to-urban migration on youth in China\, a fast-urbanizing country with 268 million rural migrant workers and 103 million migrant youth. Using a multisystemic resilience framework\, this talk discusses how risks and resilience are embodied in the intrapersonal\, interpersonal\, and institutional levels of the daily lives of migrant youth in China\, and potential interventions to promote more sustainable and equitable urbanization. \nThis event is part of the 2022-2023 lecture series on “Urbanization\, Well-being\, and Public Policy: China from Comparative Perspectives” and is sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and cosponsored by Columbia’s China Center for Social Policy\, APEC Study Center\, and the Columbia Global Centers | Beijing. \nRegistration: To register to attend this event online\, please register HERE. \n\n\nEvent Contact Information:\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu\n

SUMMARY:Agents of Subversion: The Fate of John T. Downey and the CIA’s Covert War in China – A Book Talk by John Delury
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: John Delury\, Professor of Chinese Studies\, Yonsei University Graduate School of International Studies (Seoul); Chair of International Studies\, Yonsei Underwood International College; Director\, Yonsei Centre on Oceania Studies \nModerator: Lien-Hang T. Nguyen\, Dorothy Borg Chair in the History of the United States and East Asia; Director of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, Columbia University \nIn the winter of 1952\, at the height of the Korean War\, the CIA flew a covert mission into China to pick up an agent. Trained on a remote Pacific island\, the agent belonged to an obscure anti-communist group known as the Third Force based out of Hong Kong. The exfiltration would fail disastrously\, and one of the Americans on the mission\, a recent Yale graduate named John T. Downey\, ended up a prisoner of Mao Zedong’s government for the next twenty years. Unraveling the truth behind decades of Cold War intrigue\, John Delury documents the damage that this hidden foreign policy did to American political life. The US government kept the public in the dark about decades of covert activity directed against China\, while Downey languished in a Beijing prison and his mother lobbied desperately for his release. Mining little-known Chinese sources\, Delury sheds new light on Mao’s campaigns to eliminate counterrevolutionaries and how the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party used captive spies in diplomacy with the West. Agents of Subversion is an innovative work of transnational history\, and it demonstrates both how the Chinese Communist regime used the fear of special agents to tighten its grip on society and why intellectuals in Cold War America presciently worried that subversion abroad could lead to repression at home. \nThis event is sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and co-sponsored by the China and World Program. \nRegistration: To attend this event in-person\, please register HERE. Please note that non-CUID holders need to show proof of their primary series and one booster dose of COVID-19 vaccines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu\n\n

SUMMARY:Early China Seminar Lecture Series: “Art and Technology: Early “Animal Style” Gold Artifacts Found in Northwest China and the Eurasian steppes”
DESCRIPTION:Early China Seminar Lecture Series \nTitle: “Art and Technology: Early “Animal Style” Gold Artifacts Found in Northwest China and the Eurasian steppes”\nSpeaker: Yan (Fiona) Liu\, Columbia University / Northwestern Polytechnical University (China)\nTime: March 3\, 2023 (4:30-6:30 PM EST)\nVenue: Faculty House\n*Please check the announcement board in the first floor lobby for room information.\n**Please see Seminar Safety Guidelines for attendance information. \nPrecious metals recently discovered from the Dongtalede cemetery in the Xinjiang Altai region and other burial sites in northwest China (dating from the 9th century to the 3rd century BCE) have attracted much attention for their artistic mastery and fine craftsmanship. This is especially true of gold ornaments rendered in animal styles\, such as ibex\, snow leopard\, boar\, deer\, and other zoomorphic figures\, and which are closely linked to gold objects excavated in Central Asia and Southern Siberia. Through discussing the industry and political economy of gold crafting in early China\, we will look at the manufacturing techniques and ornamental details of “animal style” gold artifacts from an interdisciplinary perspective. Multispectral non-destructive analyses of tool marks and microstructure of selected samples reveal specific gold-making technologies of the time\, such as double-sided carving and mould-pressing techniques. The results show that gold production was practiced under elite control and that craftsmanship varied in early Iron Age northwest China. Patterns of compositional data pertaining to the “animal style” appliqués found in Dongtalede\, Balikun (Xinjiang)\, and Majiayuan (Gansu) sites and their counterparts in the Eurasian steppes also point to various mineral provenances. \nFor more information and to register\, please visit this page. \n
