Collecting and studying Chinese art honed Americans\u2019 belief that they should dominate Asia and the Pacific Ocean through the ideology of \u201cimperial stewardship.\u201d U.S. imperial stewardship encompassed both genuine curiosity and care for Chinese art, and the enduring structures of domination that underpinned the growing transpacific art market in the early twentieth century.\r\n\r\nFar more than a history of cultural \u201cexchange\u201d between the United States and China, this is also a history of rivalries and feuds with European curators and enterprising Chinese merchants.

This event is part of LRCCS's \"Dancing with the Dragon\" semester-long program (winter 2026) honoring the artistic creativity and collective spirit embodied by this fantastic creature.\n\nWhile dragons are commonly associated with political power in East Asian tradition, we aim to present a more nuanced portrait through \"Tales & Scales.\" The dragon is an auspicious, benevolent, and sometimes playful figure \u2014 a stark contrast to its Western counterpart. It appears in countless folk tales and remains active in everyday life through art, architecture, and vibrant festivals. The dragon dance, in particular, continues to be a vital celebration that fuses music, performing arts, and craftsmanship.\n\nOur curated selection showcases the dragon's evolution across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures. You can explore catalogs and literary works alongside original artworks that capture the dragon's iconic yet diverse forms. From ancient mythology to contemporary pop culture, these materials highlight the dragon's enduring charm.\n\nThird Thursdays at the Library is a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.

This talk, based on a chapter from an in-progress book, explores the micro-history of a single such hydropower station. From planning, finance, and construction, to labor, operation, and maintenance, Professor Ghosh\u2019s goal is to explain the political economy that enabled the Chinese to mount small hydropower projects and connect them to local grids, thereby contributing to our understanding of subnational governance and center-local relations in Mao-era China.\n \n Arunabh Ghosh (BA Haverford; PhD Columbia) is a professor in the History Department at Harvard University. A historian of modern China, his interests include social and economic history, history of science and statecraft, environmental history, and transnational history. Ghosh is the author of *Making it Count: Statistics and Statecraft in the Early People\u2019s Republic of China* (Princeton, 2020).
