The Issues in African Development Seminar Series examines critical concerns in contemporary Africa using a different theme each semester. The seminars provide a forum for participants to explore alternative perspectives and exchange ideas. They are also a focal activity for students and faculty interested in African development. In addition, this seminar series prepares students for higher level courses on African economic, social, and political development. The presentations are designed for students who are interested in development as well as Africa’s place in global studies, want to know about the peoples, cultures, and societies that call Africa home, and wish to explore development theories and alternate viewpoints on development practice.

The imagination of the nonhuman in South Asian history was often through processes of dehumanization. References to Indian dogs in terms of caste and untouchability, the use of various animals as beasts of burden, the comparisons of aboriginal tribes with primates, and the enactment of animal cruelty acts, were all achieved through the multifarious processes of the dehumanization of castes, tribes, and the rural and urban poor. In the nineteenth century, this nonhuman adaptation of the human featured in the colonial deployment of anthropology, zoology, social stratification, empathy, and labor. While the nonhuman category has emerged as a critique of anthropocentrism in historical research, particularly within imperial history, this presentation problematizes this assumption by suggesting that historically, thinking with animals was a tool of deploying human labor and social hierarchies and their concomitant dehumanization.

The number and percentage of overseas students returning to China for employment and entrepreneurship after graduation is increasing year by year. The Cornell China Center has launched a career planning discussion series to provide current and recent graduates with an opportunity to learn about the current situation, needs and trends in the domestic job market, gain insight into the operational mechanisms of companies, workplace culture and key concerns in the hiring process, and have direct conversations with companies.

The first two events in the series focused on technology companies, and this third event in the series for students, alumni, and friends will focus on another hot area - the financial industry.
