What creative, political, and liberatory possibilities emerge at the intersections of Asian America, Buddhism, and literature? This roundtable brings together five prolific authors—Quyên Nguyễn-Hoàng, Tsering Yangzom Lama, Shin Yu Pai, Ryan Lee Wong, and Bryan Thao Worra—to discuss the cultural and spiritual influences in their work. In a panel conversation moderated by Chenxing Han, these writers will share how a wide range of Buddhist traditions—in conjunction with their Vietnamese, Laotian, Tibetan, Taiwanese, Korean, and Chinese heritages—shape their artistic practice and political commitments.

If you’re able, please join us in person at the Michigan League to welcome our guest speakers, who are visiting from Pittsburgh, New York City, Seattle, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Vancouver, Canada. After the author readings and roundtable discussion, there will be time for audience Q&A followed by an informal reception and book signings. Please stay to enjoy light refreshments and to meet the authors one-on-one!

This event is sponsored by the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures and co-sponsored by the Department of American Culture, the Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies program, the Nam Center for Korean Studies, the Department of Comparative Literature, the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, and the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies with local bookshop Booksweet organizing the book signings.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Seeing the World like a Sage: Mengzi on Cultivating Perception (April 2, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117591 117591-21839558@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 2, 2024 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Attend in perason or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/MrNjW

Mengzi claims that human beings have natural affective responses that lead them toward being good, but virtue requires extending and modifying these feeling so that they arise in all of the appropriate circumstances. In this talk, I argue that, for Mengzi, the cultivation of emotions is based not on judgment or analogy but on perception. The goal of cultivation is to shape oneself so that the world appears in a certain way.

Franklin Perkins is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa and editor of the journal Philosophy East and West.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Scent from Afar: Aromatics, Healing, and the Making of Olfactory Knowledge in Tang and Song China (April 9, 2024 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/117592 117592-21839559@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 9, 2024 12:00pm

Among the rich variety of substances that flowed into Middle Period China, aromatics (Chi. xiang) figured prominently, including saffron from Kashmir, camphor from Sumatra, and frankincense from Arabia. Introduced by envoys, monks, and traders via both overland and maritime routes, these fragrant materials acquired diverse virtues in Chinese medical, religious, and culinary culture. By focusing on the medicinal uses of these articles in Tang and Song China with attention to the role of smell in healing, this talk reveals the dynamic process of producing new olfactory knowledge and sensorial experience upon cross-cultural exchange.

Yan Liu is an associate professor in History at SUNY, Buffalo. He specializes in the history of medicine in premodern China, with a focus on material practices of medicine, religious healing, the history of the senses, and the global circulation of knowledge. His first book, "Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China," was published by the University of Washington Press in 2021 (open access available), and won the 2023 William H. Welch Medal from the American Association for the History of Medicine. His second book explores a transcultural history of aromatics and the production of olfactory knowledge in Tang and Song China.

Co-authored by Matthew E. Kahn and Wen-Chi Liao

The Trump Administration's tariffs created a wedge between mutually beneficial trades between China's producers and US consumers. Moving production to nearby Vietnam allows firms to jump the tariff wall. Locations within Vietnam differ in their proximity to China, industrial mix, and existing transport infrastructures such as roads, rails, and ports. We exploit these exogenous attributes to explore Vietnam's new emerging economic geography induced by the US/China Trade War. Using data from 2015 to 2021 on Vietnamese cities and provinces, we conduct a Bartik shift-share analysis to study the effects of the S310 China tariffs. Locations within Vietnam closer to China gain more—a border effect—in output and new FDI, particularly for industries producing goods the US demands. A multiplier effect benefits the local sector, evidenced by retail sales. The border effect relates to global-value-chain restructuring and manufacturing reallocation. We study how the urban lights at night and local air pollution PM2.5 evolve as Vietnam's cities grow. We compare the lessons between Vietnam's urban growth through tacit integration with China during the US/China Trade War and Mexico's growth through joining NAFTA.

Siqi Zheng’s field of specialization is urban and environmental economics and policy, including sustainable urbanization, sustainable real estate, and urbanization in emerging economies. She published in many peer reviewed international journals including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Nature Human Behaviour, and the Journal of Economic Literature, Journal of Economic Perspectives, Journal of Economic Geography, European Economic Review, Journal of Urban Economics, Regional Science and Urban Economics, Transportation Research Part A, Environment and Planning A, Ecological Economics, Journal of Regional Science, Real Estate Economics, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics. A book she has co-authored with Matthew Kahn, "Blue Skies over Beijing: Economic Growth and the Environment in China" (Princeton University Press) was published in 2016. Dr. Zheng has completed or been undertaking research projects granted or entrusted by the World Bank, the MassCPR, MITEI, MIT Portugal, MIT MCSC, the Asian Development Bank, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, among others. She won the MIT Frank E. Perkins Award for Excellence in Graduate Advising in 2022; and Asian Real Estate Academic & Professional (AsREAP) Woman Achievement Award (by Asian Real Estate Society) in 2023. She received her PhD in urban development and real estate from Tsinghua University in 2005, and did her post-doc research at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. Prior to coming to MIT, she was a professor and the director of Hang Lung Center for Real Estate at Tsinghua University, China. Her research website is http://www.siqizheng.com.

In four decades since the late 1970s, China has experienced one of the most consequential economic transformations in world history. One-fifth of the Earth’s population has left behind a life of scarcity and subsistence for one of abundance and material comfort. Based on his newly published book, Wang Feng revisits the origins, forces, and processes of the meteoric rise in living standards of the Chinese population, and offers a systematic historical and sociological analysis of this unique historical juncture. Anticipating headwinds, including an aging population, increasing inequality, and intensifying political control, Wang Feng discusses why China’s age of abundance has come to an end, and the challenges China faces in its aftermath.

WANG Feng currently holds the position of professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine. He is a scholar with expertise in China’s social and demographic changes, of social inequality, and of comparative population and social history. He is the author of multiple books and many articles in professional journals, books, and other media outlets. His work and views have appeared frequently in major global media outlets. He has served as an expert for the United Nations, the World Bank, and the World Economic Forum, among many others. His multifaceted professional service includes terms as Chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine (2007-2010), Senior Fellow in Foreign Relations and in Global Development at the Brookings Institution, a leading think-tank in the United States, and the Director of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy in Beijing (2010-2013). He is an elected member of the Sociological Research Association, an honor society of sociologists in the United States. He is also an elected foreign member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (National Academy of Italy). Professor Wang Feng is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the first from the PRC receiving a PhD degree in social sciences at U-M.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

The Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars (CCAS) was founded in 1968 in the wake of the US aggression in Vietnam. Fifty-five years later, what lessons might be drawn from CCAS' efforts to practice anti-imperialist research? Join us for a full day of intergenerational conversations among the founding and early members of CCAS, editors of critical Asian studies journals, and younger scholars working on Asia. We will discuss the place of politically committed scholarship in the academy and the role of the public intellectual in our society, all in order to ask: What does it mean to be a scholar concerned about Asia in the US today?
