The large-scale introduction of Japanese rice varieties was a central component of this policy, and by the late 1930s, traditional varieties had been almost entirely replaced by new varieties from Japan. While some scholars argue that the introduction of new varieties contributed substantially to the growth of rice production, others contend that their marginal impact was limited without complementary investments in irrigation and the increased use of fertilizers. Using data from various sources, Kim estimates the impact of new varieties on rice production and finds that their adoption increased agricultural productivity but also heightened production instability. These findings shed new light on the effects of colonial agricultural policies and their implications for social discontent and the legacies of Japanese colonial rule.\n\nDuol Kim is professor of economics at Myongji University in South Korea. His research focuses on Korean and East Asian economic history, institutional economics, and law and economics. He received his Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 2003. He subsequently held a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Davis (2003\u20132006) and served as a fellow at the Korea Development Institute (2006\u20132013) before joining Myongji University. His research has been published in the *Journal of Economic History*, *Explorations in Economic History*, and other academic journals, and he co-edited a special issue of the *Asian-Pacific Economic History Review*. He has served as president of the Asian Historical Economics Society and the Korean Law and Economics Association. He is currently president of the Korean Economic History Association, an associate editor of the *Asian Journal of Law and Economics*, and editor of the *Seoul Review of Books*, a quarterly magazine.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at namhy@umich.edu.

But they all exhibit an acute fascination with founding Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, invoking select strands of his political thought and practice to legitimate their own political projects or imaginaries. Yet, while interest in Lee outside of Singapore is consistently growing, within Singaporean society there is a growing sense of exhaustion and indifference in appealing to his figure \u2013 especially when it is perceived as a cynical means to derive political profit for his long-ruling People\u2019s Action Party (PAP). Using this observation as a launching pad, this lecture explores the contradictions of Lee\u2019s legacy and develops rudiments to pursue a global history of Lee Kuan Yew, bringing his international reception and footprints within a single frame. This entails treating Lee as a global figure of world-historical importance, situating his political thought, movements, and interventions within global trends and networks. While this global approach magnifies Lee\u2019s stature, it also amplifies the less comfortable aspects of his legacy: his \u201coriginal sin\u201d is no longer the detention without trial, but his role in legitimizing the bloody Vietnam War. A global history of Lee thereby presents intensified contradictions to grapple with.\n\nQuah Say Jye is a Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University.

Drawing on more than three decades of artistic practice between New York and Japan, Yasuko Yokoshi reflects on how choreography, Nihon Buyo, and Noh have continually reshaped her body and artistic practice. Through performance examples and the ongoing dojojiproject, the lecture considers transformation not as the opposite of the archive, but as the very condition through which dance survives.\n\nYasuko Yokoshi is a choreographer and dancer whose work explores embodied transmission, dance lineage, and the unstable nature of dance as a living archive. Based in New York from 1996 to 2015, she received two New York Dance and Performance \u201cBessie\u201d Awards (2003, 2006), a Guggenheim Fellowship, a NYFA Artist Fellowship, support from Creative Capital, and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Award.

Register for the Zoom webinar at: https:\/\/myumi.ch\/8JNPb\n\nSynopsis:\nIn the past decade, Korean entertainment has gained global recognition, with Korean movies and TV shows winning Oscars and Emmys, and K-Pop groups becoming wildly popular. In Manhattan, Koreatown has become a popular destination for both locals and tourists, drawing them in with its bars, restaurants, and day spas. Jinwon Kim argues that Manhattan\u2019s Koreatown has become a new type of ethnic enclave, what she dubs a \u201ctransclave.\u201d This commercialized ethnic space exists solely for consumption, leisure, and entertainment, and has been shaped by South Korea\u2019s nation-branding strategy, new economic and cultural strategies, patterns in Korean migration, and shifts in tourism and urban policies in New York City. Kim posits that for many consumers in Koreatown, especially those who are not of Korean descent, the space has become a commercialized place where transnational culture meets the diverse racial and ethnic mosaic of New York City. Kim emphasizes how the space functions to \u201cbrand Korea\u201d as a space to \u201cconsume ethnicity,\u201d reflecting the landscape of South Korea\u2019s consumer culture through the physical appearance of buildings and stores and the inclusion of franchise brands. In this talk, Kim explores the recent popularity of Korean food in New York City by focusing on both transnational and domestic factors, leading to the new trend of commercialization of ethnic food, emphasis on authenticity, and rise of the omnivore society, by delivering the voices of ordinary people. While Koreatown\u2019s authenticity has been largely defined by commercialized ethnic cuisine by local entrepreneurs, the Korean government, and franchises, Kim argues that Koreatown\u2019s authenticity has represented the collective imaginations and narratives of various consumer groups\u2013Korean nationals, Korean Americans, and non-Koreans.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nJinwon Kim is assistant professor of sociology at Smith College. An urban sociologist and Asian Americanist, her research and teaching focus on race and ethnicity, transnational sociology, immigration, consumption, and qualitative research methods. Prior to her appointment at Smith College, she was a tenure-track assistant professor at the New York City College of Technology\/CUNY (2019\u20132024). Her peer-reviewed scholarship has appeared in journals such as *City & Community* and *The International Journal of Cultural Policy*, and she is the co-editor of the volume *Koreatowns: Exploring the Economics, Politics, and Identities of Korean Spatial Formations* (2020). Kim is currently working on two book-length projects that investigate transnational culture and urban transformation. The first, *New Trends, Old Conflicts: New Black-Korean Relations in an Era of Global Racism and Global Media*, draws on 280 international interviews to examine anti-Blackness and interracial dynamics within the Korean entertainment industry, situating these conflicts within East Asian geopolitics. Her second project, *The Asian Times Square: Gentrification, Displacement, and New Ethnic Placemaking in Flushing, NY*, examines how waterfront megaprojects, transnational investments, and gentrification drive the physical and symbolic displacement of working-class East Asian immigrant families and small businesses. It also explores how these processes reshape inter\/intraethnic relations among four East Asian groups\u2014Koreans, Korean Chinese, Chinese, and Taiwanese\u2014in Flushing, New York City.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at namhy@umich.edu.

In the recent past, we have seen how such hauntings of the past can suddenly return to a body of long-standing statues of American Confederate leaders, slave owners and imperialists, bringing on them the wrath of anti-white supremacist protests that began to rage across Western cities and universities during 2020. What the Black Lives Matter movement did was to return attention in India to the long-forgotten specimens of colonial statuary, mostly hidden away in remote locations of our cities - raising the issue again, after over 75 years of Independence, of their rights to remain in the spaces where they still stand. The afterlives of these relics of empire is a central theme of this lecture, as it explores various moments in the travels, dislocations and relocations of Calcutta\u2019s imperial statues, while charting a small parallel history of Indian statue-making over these transitional decades of the last years of British rule and the coming of Independence.\n\nTapati Guha-Thakurta was educated at Presidency College, Calcutta University, and the University of Oxford. She is currently an Honorary Professor of History at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta (CSSSC) and was its former Director from 2012 to 2017. She has written widely on the art and cultural history of modern India, held fellowships at Brown University, CASVA-National Gallery of Art, The Getty Research Institute, University of Cambridge, and Yale University and been a visiting professor at Columbia University and at the University of California, Berkeley. Her three main books are 'The Making of a New 'Indian' Art: Artists, Aesthetics and Nationalism in Bengal' (Cambridge University Press, 1992) and 'Monuments, Objects, Histories: Institutions of Art in Colonial and Postcolonial India' (Columbia University Press, and Permanent Black, 2004), and 'In the Name of the Goddess: The Durga Pujas of Contemporary Kolkata' (Delhi: Primus Books, 2015). She has also had a parallel career as exhibition curator and archivist, and has helped build a large digital image archive on the visual cultures of modern and contemporary Bengal at the CSSSC. She has co-edited three anthologies of essays \u2013 'Theorising the Present: Essays for Partha Chatterjee' (Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2011); 'New Cultural Histories of India: Materiality and Practices' (Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2013); and 'How Secular is Art? On the Politics of Art, History and Religion in South Asia' (Cambridge University Press, 2023). \nAmong her other professional work is the preparation of a dossier on the Durga Pujas of Kolkata for the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, which has brought to the festival the coveted UNESCO inscription under its List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in December 2021. \n\nTapati Guha-Thakurta's visit to Ann Arbor is sponsored by the Museum Studies Program with generous support from the History of Art, English Language & Literature, Comparative Literature, and Asian Languages & Cultures Departments.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"152023-21912628@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/152023", "building_id":"1000175", "building_name":"Haven Hall", "campus_maps_id":"542", "room":"Eldersveld Room, 5670", "location_name":"Haven Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Free","history of art","Lecture"], "website":"https:\/\/ummsp.rackham.umich.edu\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Asian Languages and Cultures", "group_id":"3364", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/asian" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152023_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21912628 } , "153231-21915480": { "datetime_modified":"20261005T144958", "datetime_start":"20261023T160000", "datetime_end":"20261023T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-23", "date_end":"2026-10-23", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"In the Shadow of Empire: Calcutta\u2019s Victoria Memorial and its Cast of Moving Statuary", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"In the Shadow of Empire: Calcutta\u2019s Victoria Memorial and its Cast of Moving Statuary: Tapati Guha-Thakurta", "event_subtitle":"Tapati Guha-Thakurta", "event_type":"Presentation", "event_type_id":"16", "description":"With a focus on Calcutta\u2019s landmark monument \u2013 the most grandiose of the memorials to the Queen of all the ones built across the British imperial territories \u2013 this lecture addresses the theme of the end of empire through the persistence and proliferation of the genre of civic public statuary, its shifting cast of characters, and its movements across time and space.

The afterlives of these relics of empire is a central theme of this lecture, as it explores various moments in the travels, dislocations and relocations of Calcutta\u2019s imperial statues, while charting a small parallel history of Indian statue-making over these transitional decades of the last years of British rule and the coming of Independence.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"153231-21915480@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/153231", "building_id":"1000175", "building_name":"Haven Hall", "campus_maps_id":"542", "room":"Eldersveld Room (5670)", "location_name":"Haven Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","Asia","European","Michigan Arts Festival","Museum","Visual Arts"], "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/umichmsp", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Asian Languages and Cultures", "group_id":"3364", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/asian" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/10\/event_153231_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21915480 } , "150169-21908314": { "datetime_modified":"20260911T121559", "datetime_start":"20261027T120000", "datetime_end":"20261027T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-27", "date_end":"2026-10-27", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Metricracy: The Data and Symbolic Politics of a Chinese Social Credit System", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Metricracy: The Data and Symbolic Politics of a Chinese Social Credit System: Chuncheng Liu, Northeastern University", "event_subtitle":"Chuncheng Liu, Northeastern University", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom.

Far from the all-seeing surveillance machine, the system runs on data that are selectively collected and routinely fabricated\u2014and even then, the state struggles to make the score mean anything, facing constant contestation and reinterpretation. This notorious system, Dr. Liu will suggest, is less an authoritarian anomaly than a sharp lens on the contradictions of governing by numbers anywhere.\n\nChuncheng Liu is a sociologist of knowledge and technology who studies the politics of data and classification. An assistant professor of communication and sociology at Northeastern University, he earned his Ph.D. in sociology and science studies at the University of California, San Diego, and was a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research New England. His current research examines the politics of sociotechnical systems that surveil and classify citizens.

A national hero in Korea and the University of Michigan\u2019s most famous Korean alumnus, Il Han New\u2019s remarkable biography is well known. Born in Pyongyang, New came to the United States at a young age and received primary and secondary education in the Midwest. In Hastings, Nebraska, New attended the Korean youth military school established by Park Yong-man in 1909. From Hastings, New moved to Detroit and then to nearby Ann Arbor to pursue a degree in business and commerce at the University of Michigan. While studying at Michigan New met his future spouse and trailblazing partner Mary Woo. In 1922, New and a friend from the University of Michigan named Wally Smith launched the brand La Choy and turned a seemingly impossible chance encounter into one of the most spectacular examples of the American Dream at Smith\u2019s grocery in Detroit. New returned to his homeland in 1926 at the age of 31 and established a successful pharmaceutical company named Yuhan yanghaeng. In the final years of the Pacific War, New once again demonstrated his ability to shape new forms of Asian, American, and Asian American agency as a consultant for the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS). After liberation in 1945, New made significant contributions to the rebuilding of South Korea through education, public health, and philanthropy.\n\nFar from taking New as an extraordinary individual who led an exceptional life, the conference will approach New\u2019s biography as a point of entry that opens onto several important avenues for thinking about Korean, American, and Asian American histories of the modern era, as well as a method for interrogating these histories\u2019 complex imbrications with one another. Particular attention will be paid to the lesser known forces that shaped New\u2019s trajectory and the transformative impact of New\u2019s life on these and other historical forces. Using Il Han New not as case study but as method, this conference will examine, among other things, the global footprint of Midwestern values and religiosity, the ethnicity of global industry and global nature of ethnic industry, fighting for a nation that is both singular and plural, and Korea\u2019s diasporic century.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the U-M Inclusive History Project and the New Il Han Heritage Research Foundation.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.

Her newest project, *Beyond the Seas Blue*, traces lapis lazuli from the mines of Badakhshan through histories of pigment making, museums, colonial collecting, and digital infrastructure. Kazmi is associate professor of art practice at the University of California, Berkeley, and teaches at the Berkeley Center for New Media.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

A national hero in Korea and the University of Michigan\u2019s most famous Korean alumnus, Il Han New\u2019s remarkable biography is well known. Born in Pyongyang, New came to the United States at a young age and received primary and secondary education in the Midwest. In Hastings, Nebraska, New attended the Korean youth military school established by Park Yong-man in 1909. From Hastings, New moved to Detroit and then to nearby Ann Arbor to pursue a degree in business and commerce at the University of Michigan. While studying at Michigan New met his future spouse and trailblazing partner Mary Woo. In 1922, New and a friend from the University of Michigan named Wally Smith launched the brand La Choy and turned a seemingly impossible chance encounter into one of the most spectacular examples of the American Dream at Smith\u2019s grocery in Detroit. New returned to his homeland in 1926 at the age of 31 and established a successful pharmaceutical company named Yuhan yanghaeng. In the final years of the Pacific War, New once again demonstrated his ability to shape new forms of Asian, American, and Asian American agency as a consultant for the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS). After liberation in 1945, New made significant contributions to the rebuilding of South Korea through education, public health, and philanthropy.\n\nFar from taking New as an extraordinary individual who led an exceptional life, the conference will approach New\u2019s biography as a point of entry that opens onto several important avenues for thinking about Korean, American, and Asian American histories of the modern era, as well as a method for interrogating these histories\u2019 complex imbrications with one another. Particular attention will be paid to the lesser known forces that shaped New\u2019s trajectory and the transformative impact of New\u2019s life on these and other historical forces. Using Il Han New not as case study but as method, this conference will examine, among other things, the global footprint of Midwestern values and religiosity, the ethnicity of global industry and global nature of ethnic industry, fighting for a nation that is both singular and plural, and Korea\u2019s diasporic century.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the U-M Inclusive History Project and the New Il Han Heritage Research Foundation.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.

This talk reevaluates the history of Japanese food culture by examining how ideas of healthy eating became both a popular phenomenon and a matter of grave concern among trained medical experts and amateur culinary enthusiasts alike. It explores why ordinary people ate what they did, how these ideas on proper eating came to be, and what social, economic, and moral concerns propelled their rise. Guidance on dietetics conveyed priorities about how well-nourished bodies were meant to act in the world, whether as agricultural workers, samurai bureaucrats, or merchant consumers. Failure to keep a proper diet carried life-or-death consequences, according to these guides, that could bring not just disease to oneself but financial and moral ruin to one\u2019s household, domain, or even society at large. This study of historical nourishment modes in Japan thus reveals an early modern dietetic revolution in the making, which disrupted older forms of expertise and provided a venue to critique official policies on eating and living right before the introduction of modern scientific nutrition.\n\nJoshua Schlachet is a historian of Japan, specializing in the cultural history of nourishment in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His new book, *Nourishing Life: Cultures of Food and Health in Early Modern Japan* (University of Hawai\u02bbi Press, 2026), examines how the emergence of a dietary common knowledge expanded concepts of a well-nourished body to encompass economic productivity, status hierarchy, and moral cultivation. Schlachet is co-editor of *Interdisciplinary Edo: Towards an Integrated Approach to Early Modern Japan* (Routledge, 2024), a collected volume of innovative humanistic research on society and culture in the Tokugawa era. He received his Ph.D. in East Asian languages and cultures from Columbia University in 2018 and is a proud graduate of the University of Michigan's Center for Japanese Studies.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

While the disturbances were promptly quelled and the instigators brought to justice, missionaries found themselves in heated debates about the origins of the riots. One of them was Welshman Griffith John who singled out the Sacred Edict as one root cause of anti-Christian sentiment and argued for its amendment. This talk examines the context behind the debate and what it can tell us about endurance of and contradictions within imperial ideology in late imperial China.\n\nP\u00e4r Cassel is an associate professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Michigan. He is strongly committed to multi-lingual and multi-archival research and is especially interested in historical problems where international relations, jurisprudence, institutional history, and linguistics intersect.

Drawing on two contrasting sets of empirical material\u2014interviews with romance fraud victims and publications and interviews with followers and supporters of the fraudster \u2018Ririchan the Grantee Gal\u2019\u2014the lecture argues that these seemingly disparate groups are connected by a common underlying dynamic: women's struggle for autonomy and\/or recognition within a gendered social hierarchy. It examines how aspirations for self-empowerment and liberation, often intensified by neoliberal ideals of personal responsibility and self-realization, can paradoxically lead individuals towards both victimization and offending.\n\nDr. Yutaka Yoshida is a lecturer in criminology at Cardiff University. His research explores romance fraud victimization, digital vigilantism, and far-right movements in Japan, with a particular interest in narratives, identity, and technology-mediated social harms. His current work examines how romance fraud victims make sense of their experiences and reconstruct their lives in the aftermath of victimization, drawing on psychosocial approaches.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

Many of these priests are from India and they come on the R-1 temporary religious worker visa - a lesser researched visa category in South Asian diaspora studies that does not require a salary, only compensation. Thomas' research shows that 64%+ of missionary priests from India come from dominant caste backgrounds. Based on chapters from my forthcoming book on Indian Catholic priests in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota, in this talk I discuss caste, remittances, and the intricacies of the R-1 religious worker visa. \n\nSonja Thomas is a professor of women\u2019s gender and sexuality studies at Colby College. Her research focuses on gender, race, caste, and Christianity in India and the U.S. She is the author of *Privileged Minorities: Syrian Christianity, Gender, and Minority Rights in Postcolonial India*. Her second book, *Indians and Cowboys, on Catholic priests from India in rural America*, is forthcoming from University of Washington Press. She is an associate editor of *South Asia: The Journal of South Asian Studies*, is a member of Waterville Maine's K-12 Social Justice and Equity group, and is an appointed commissioner with Maine\u2019s Permanent Commission on Racial, Indigenous, and Tribal Populations.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

Americans can't get enough of these dishes, yet food critics and historians often dismiss them as pale imitations of \"authentic\" Chinese cuisine. This lecture reveals the surprising origins of American Chinese takeout in the elite kitchens of the Chinese Nationalist Party in wartime Chongqing and traces its remarkable journey through postwar Taiwan to the United States in the 1970s. Far from being corruptions of Chinese food, these beloved dishes preserve a gourmet culinary tradition that once inspired swoons among China's elite and earned rave reviews from New York Times critics.\n\nMiranda Brown is the Yi-Tsi Mei Feuerwerker Collegiate Professor of Chinese Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Culture, where she has taught since 2002. A San Franciscan by birth and historian of early China by training, she discovered in her later career her true passion: Chinese food. Her book, *Dumpling Therapy*, will be published by St. Martin's Press in January 2027. Professor Brown spent the 2023-2024 academic year in Taipei, Taiwan on a Fulbright grant, which enabled her to research post-war Taiwanese foodways and to eat way too much.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150197-21908383@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150197", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "campus_maps_id":"47", "room":"10th Floor", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Asian Languages And Cultures","China","Chinese Studies","Cooking","Culture","Food"], "website":"https:\/\/myumi.ch\/8Jq1G", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Asian Languages and Cultures", "group_id":"3364", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/asian" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150197_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21908383 } , "152125-21913105": { "datetime_modified":"20260915T165014", "datetime_start":"20261202T080000", "datetime_end":"20261202T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-12-02", "date_end":"2026-12-02", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Dancing with the Dragon Exhibit", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Dancing with the Dragon Exhibit", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Experience a curated experience of the imaginary, featuring a lightly sci-fi, magnificent work of art--the LRCCS Fortune and Longevity Dragon, a 25-ft long, Asian-inspired full-body dragon sculpture for use in the traditional \"dragon dance\" crafted by renowned international artist Zhen Guo with U-M faculty arts lecturer Raymond Wetzel, artist Jeri Rosenberg, students, and volunteers The exhibition highlights the story of the dragon's fabrication and its impact on community..

Using a CES production framework with firm-specific distortions, the talk introduces a novel decomposition of aggregate TFP growth into efficient growth and changes in misallocation. The analysis documents a sharp slowdown in Chinese manufacturing productivity growth after 2010, driven both by weaker incumbent-firm productivity growth and by a diminished contribution from firm turnover and reallocation. \n\nLoren Brandt is a professor of economics at the University of Toronto specializing in the Chinese economy. He has published widely on the Chinese economy in leading economic journals including the *American Economic Review*, *the Quarterly Journal of Economics*, *Review of Economic Studies*, *Econometrica and the Journal of Political Economy*, and been involved in extensive household and enterprise survey work in both China and Vietnam. With Thomas Rawski, he completed *Policy, Regulation, and Innovation in China\u2019s Electricity and Telecom Industries* (Cambridge University Press, 2019), an interdisciplinary effort analyzing the effect of government policy on the power and telecom sectors in China. He was also co-editor and major contributor to *China\u2019s Great Economic Transformation* (Cambridge University Press, 2008), which provides an integrated analysis of China\u2019s unexpected economic boom of the past three decades. His current research focuses on issues of entrepreneurship and firm dynamics, industrial policy and innovation, and economic growth and structural change.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150699-21909978@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150699", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "campus_maps_id":"47", "room":"10th Floor", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Asian Languages And Cultures","China","Chinese Studies","Data","Economics"], "website":"https:\/\/myumi.ch\/DW8j6", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Asian Languages and Cultures", "group_id":"3364", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/asian" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150699_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21909978 } , "152125-21913112": { "datetime_modified":"20260915T165014", "datetime_start":"20261209T080000", "datetime_end":"20261209T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-12-09", "date_end":"2026-12-09", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Dancing with the Dragon Exhibit", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Dancing with the Dragon Exhibit", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Experience a curated experience of the imaginary, featuring a lightly sci-fi, magnificent work of art--the LRCCS Fortune and Longevity Dragon, a 25-ft long, Asian-inspired full-body dragon sculpture for use in the traditional \"dragon dance\" crafted by renowned international artist Zhen Guo with U-M faculty arts lecturer Raymond Wetzel, artist Jeri Rosenberg, students, and volunteers The exhibition highlights the story of the dragon's fabrication and its impact on community..

Ambedkar\u2019s (1891\u20131956) multi-pronged \u2013 social, cultural and political \u2013 strategies of creating manuski (human dignity), dharmantar (religious conversion) and respectable samaj (community) in a doubly colonial \u2013 British and brahmanical context. To Ambedkar, the larger Indian society denied manuski to Dalits. The caste mechanism restricted Dalits claims to personhood as Dalit humanity itself was constituted as a state of injury and punishment. The consequences were particularly dangerous for Dalit women lacking even minimal security. As a result, Ambedkar and his associates focused on both\u2014external and internal\u2014changes to cultivate manuski. Ambedkar constituted a new Dalit woman through these inner resources and interrelated ideas of an intrinsically caring and civilized humanity. He along with his associates robustly worked on a multi-pronged strategy\u2014social, educational, political, legal, and religious, to regenerate Dalits and not merely reform them like in the case of elite touchable reformers.\n\nShailaja Paik is Charles Phelps Taft Distinguished Professor of History and affiliate faculty in women\u2019s, Gender, and sexuality studies, sociology, and Asian studies at the University of Cincinnati. She is a 2024 MacArthur Foundation \u201cgenius\u201d Fellow. Paik is also the founding executive director of the Institute for Just Futures. Her work analyzes the politics of caste, gender, class, and sexuality, by focusing on the ideas, actions, and lives of Dalits (\u201cUntouchables\u201d). She is the author of the prestigious awards-winning book *The Vulgarity of Caste: Dalits, Sexuality, and Humanity* (Stanford University Press, 2022) and *Dalit Women's Education in Modern India: Double Discrimination* (Routledge, 2014). Paik is co-editing the *Cambridge Companion to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar* (forthcoming) and *Caste, Race, and Indigeneity in South Asia and Beyond* (Forthcoming Routledge). Her research is funded by the MacArthur Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Stanford Humanities Center, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Institute of Indian Studies, Yale University, Emory University, the Ford Foundation, and the Charles Phelps Taft Research Center, among others. Paik has published several articles on a variety of themes, including kissing and nationalism, the politics of naming, Dalit and African American women\u2019s solidarity, Dalit women\u2019s education, and new Dalit womanhood in colonial India. Her scholarship and research interests are concerned with contributing to and furthering the dialogue in anti-race, anti-caste, and anti-patriarchy, human rights, anti-colonial struggles, transnational women\u2019s history, and women-of-color feminisms.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

Thiranagama suggests new ways to think about contemporary inequalities within historical economies of humiliation and subordination, as well discussing the dignity projects embarked upon by Kerala\u2019s Dalit communities.\n\nSharika Thiranagama is professor of anthropology at Stanford University. Her research explores violence, inequality, and intense political mobilization through a focus on intimacy, gender and generation. She has been the author of multiple works on Sri Lanka including *In My Mother\u2019s House: Civil War in Sri Lanka* (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). Her most recent book *The Monster in Your Path* (University of California 2026) focuses on Dalit communities in Kerala, South India examining the gendered inheritance and life of enslavement, caste and work.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

Ganti illustrates the essential role played by translation in the political economy of media industries through an examination of screenwriting and dubbing practices in Mumbai. Investigating the translation practices, linguistic ideologies, and regimes of value structuring mainstream media production, she argues that translation is not merely a linguistic bridge but a constitutive and material force in media production. Foregrounding the symbiotic relationship between Hindi and English within Mumbai\u2019s media industries, Ganti demonstrates that translation operates beyond notions of linguistic purity or inherent hierarchy and is a dynamic and multimodal process of creating social, aesthetic, and economic value.\n\nTejaswini Ganti is professor of anthropology and core faculty in the Program in Culture & Media at New York University. A media anthropologist specializing in South Asia, her research and teaching interests include Indian cinema, media industries, production cultures, translation studies, visual culture, cultural policy, elites, political economy, and theories of development and globalization. She has been conducting research about the social world and filmmaking practices of the Hindi film industry since 1996 and is the author of *Producing Bollywood: Inside the Contemporary Hindi Film Industry* (Duke 2012) *Bollywood: A Guidebook to Popular Hindi Cinema* (Routledge 2004; 2nd ed. 2013; 3rd ed. 2027) and *Thinking in English, Speaking in Hindi: Translation, Creativity, and Value in Bollywood and Beyond* (Duke 2027).\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.
