Russell Professor of Social Policy and Social Work Practice; Acting Director of the Asian American Initiative; Associate Dean for Doctoral Education; Director of China Center for Social Policy\, Columbia School of Social Work \nYan Long examines how China absorbed global health norms while remaking epidemic politics through its own authoritarian logics. Her talk highlights the interplay between digital statecraft\, bureaucratic control\, and transnational influences in shaping China’s pandemic response. The analysis draws on archival research\, interviews\, and fieldwork tracing China’s evolving epidemic governance across SARS\, AIDS\, and COVID-19. \nThis event is part of the 2025-2026 lecture series “COVID-19 Governance and Impacts: China from Comparative Perspectives.” The series will be part of the China COVID Project\, a multi-institutional\, interdisciplinary research initiative funded by the Henry Luce Foundation. It aims to spotlight new empirical and theoretical research that interrogates China’s post-COVID standing through social\, economic\, political\, and gender-based lenses. It features scholars working on governance\, public health\, digital statecraft\, labor\, gender\, and civil society responses in China and Asia. The series will foster public dialogue and contribute to documentation and analysis of the pandemic’s legacy. \nThis event is hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and cosponsored by the Columbia China Center for Social Policy. \nRegistration: \n\nTo attend this event in-person\, please register HERE.\nTo attend this event online\, please register HERE.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu\n\n

SUMMARY:Practice Teaching (Microteaching) for Graduate Students (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:\nLooking for a supportive place to try out instructional approaches? This Practice Teaching session (formerly known as “Microteaching”) will pair you with a trained peer facilitator and a group of 3-4 other graduate students. Together\, you and your fellow participants will take turns delivering short (<10 min.) samples of instruction to each other. After each teaching sample\, your facilitator and your peers will offer structured feedback to support your teaching. Whether you are currently teaching at Columbia or not\, all graduate students looking to practice teaching are welcome to attend this Practice Teaching session. \nSome teaching skills you could practice at this session include: \n– Introducing new content\, concepts\, or skills to students (i.e.\, an engaging mini-lecture) \n– Testing new and varied modes of student engagement to boost participation and inclusivity \n– Using of visuals (blackboard\, whiteboard\, slide decks\, handouts\, etc.) to bolster learning \n– Facilitating discussion (i.e.\, posing discussion questions\, monitoring student engagement\, attention\, and learning\, etc.) \nParticipants should determine which skill they wish to focus on and come prepared with something to teach their peers in an active and engaging way. Registrants will be provided additional guidance to help prepare for Practice Teaching in the week prior to the session. \nPractice Teaching sessions are facilitated by CTL’s trained graduate student Teaching Consultants. These sessions satisfy the “Application and Practice” requirement in the Teaching Development Program. \n\nColumbia University makes every effort to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Contact ColumbiaCTL@columbia.edu or 212.854.1692 for accommodations. \nThis event may be photographed. Note\, if this is an online event\, CTL staff may take screenshots.

SUMMARY:In the Shadow of Empire: Art in Occupied Japan
DESCRIPTION:This talk unearths an immensely creative yet almost entirely overlooked body of Japanese art. Drawn from Volk’s recently published In the Shadow of Empire: Art in Occupied Japan\, and introducing charismatic but little-known paitnings\, prints\, and sculpture made during the US occupation (1945-1952). It will show how the forgotten art of a country in the shadows of American empire both accommodated and resisted the Cold War global realignment that followed on the heels of World War II. Volk will reveal the transnational dimensions of early postwar Japanese artistic practices and show how they hold the potential for rethinking our histories of Japanese and global postware are alike. \nPreregistration required.
