SUMMARY:Decoupling: Gender Injustice in China’s Divorce Courts
DESCRIPTION:April 18\, 2023\n12:00 PM – 1:30 PM\nSchool of International and Public Affairs\, 420 West 118th Street\, Room 918\, New York\, NY 10027\n\n\nSpeaker: Ethan Michelson\, James and Noriko Gines Department Chair in East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Professor in Sociology\, Academic Director of the IU China Gateway\, Indiana University \nModerator: Yao Lu\, Professor of Sociology\, Columbia University \nUsing ‘big data’ computational techniques to scrutinize cases covering 2009–2016 from all 252 basic-level courts in two Chinese provinces\, Henan and Zhejiang\, Ethan Michelson reveals that women have borne the brunt of a dramatic intensification since the mid-2000s of a decades-long practice of denying divorce requests. This talk discusses key findings from his new book of the same name. Michelson’s analysis of almost 150\,000 divorce trials reveals routine and egregious violations of China’s own laws upholding the freedom of divorce\, gender equality\, and the protection of women’s physical security. Michelson takes the reader upstream to the institutional sources of China’s clampdown on divorce and downstream to its devastating and highly gendered human toll\, showing how judges in an overburdened court system clear their oppressive dockets at the expense of women’s lawful rights and interests. \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. \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

SUMMARY:Understanding Qing Officialdom Through Big Data
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cameron Campbell\, Chair Professor\, Division of Social Science\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) \nModerator: Junyan Jiang\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Political Science\, Columbia University \nCameron Campbell will give a talk based on his historical database. He will present findings on the social origins\, qualifications\, and career dynamics of 19th century Qing civil officials that support\, complicate and contradict the assumptions and stylized facts about the selection and promotion of officials that underpin much recent quantitative research on Qing social\, economic\, and political history. The findings are drawn from the ongoing analysis of the China Government Employee Dataset-Qing (CGED-Q) which the Lee-Campbell Group began to construct in 2014. \nSpeaker’s Bio: Cameron Campbell is Chair Professor in the Division of Social Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Before joining HKUST in 2013\, he was Professor in the Department of Sociology at UCLA and an affiliate of the California Centre for Population Research (CCPR) at UCLA. His research focuses on demography\, stratification and inequality in historical China and in comparative perspective. With other members of the Lee-Campbell group\, he studies official\, educational\, and professional elites in China from the middle of the 18th century to the present. He also leads the study of the Qing civil service from the middle of the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century by construction and analysis of a database of office holders called the China Government Employee Database-Qing (CGED-Q). He is involved in two other major projects with the Lee-Campbell Group that involve the creation and analysis of large\, longitudinal\, individual-level databases from archival records: a study of the social origins and careers of university students\, professionals\, and other elites in the first half of the twentieth century and a study of rural society in mainland China from 1949 to the mid-1960s using village-level microdata. His papers have appeared in such journals as American Journal of Sociology\, American Sociological Review\, Demography\, Population Studies\, and Demographic Research. I was a Guggenheim Fellow in 2004 and a Changjiang Scholar at Central China Normal University from 2017 to 2020. For 2022-23\, I will be a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. \nThis event is sponsored by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute. \nRegistration: \n\nTo 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.\nTo attend this event online\, please register HERE.\n\n
