Cornell Classical Chinese Colloquium 古文品讀

The Cornell Classical Chinese Colloquium (CCCC) 古文品讀 is a reading group for scholars interested in premodern Sinographic (古文) text. The group typically meets monthly during the semester to explore a variety of classical Chinese texts and styles. Other premodern texts linked to classical Chinese in Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese have been explored. Presentations include works from the earliest times to the 20th century. Workshop sessions are lead by local, national, and international scholars.

All are welcome, with any level of experience with classical Chinese.

At each session, a participant presents a classical Chinese text. Attendees discuss historical, literary, linguistic, and other aspects of the text, working together to resolve difficulties in comprehension and translation.

No preparation is required, all texts will be distributed at the meeting.Contact eap-guwen@cornell.edu for more information.

This event focuses on research and academic freedom. Specifically, it will be about the politics of ethnographic and medical research in Turkey. Against the backdrop of debates around rising authoritarianism in the country, we will discuss ethical and political dilemmas researchers face when conducting research with human subjects. We will highlight a non-profit research center supporting academics. Finally, we will reflect on the relationship between knowledge production and authoritarianism. The event will conclude with a 30-minute Q & A session.

Bio: Lyndsey Deaton, Ph.D., RA, AICP, PMP is passionate about current issues of social sustainability in the city. She engages these issues through academic and professional roles. She is the Director of the Urban Design Lab (UDL) at the University of Oregon, an organization that gives students the opportunity to practically apply theory to real design projects. At the UDL, she continues her dissertation research investigating the spatialities of neoliberal dispossession through children's use of public space. She is also the co-founder of and a senior architect and planner at The International Development Collaborative, where she manages the design and construction program for the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Lyndsey has worked on over 82 design projects across the United States, the Middle and Far East, Asia, and Africa receiving 21 awards. Her work has been featured in Architect Magazine (2011) and she has recently published an article in Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review, Freemen's Town versus Frenchtown: A Spatial History of Black Settlements in Houston, TX (2020). Her research has been supported by the Julie & Rocky Dixon Foundation and the Sasakwa Young Leaders Fellowship Foundation as well as partnerships with Save the Children Australia, the Hyderabad Urban Design Lab, and the International Association for the Study of Traditional Environments. Abstract: As competition for space in the city heats up, development-forced dispossession generally described as complex neoliberal processes often pushes out or squeezes in low-income communities reducing their access to quality public space. Although scholars agree that public space is essential for adolescents living in low-income communities and that development-forced dispossession is now more widespread than ever, the lives of adolescents in dispossessed communities have rarely been subjected to systematic and in-depth study. In this talk, I approach the spatialities that perform as public space and adolescents' behaviors within them through the lens of environmental psychology. I use a sequential case study model first investigating public space in four resettled communities on the periphery Manila, Philippines, and then transfer the protocol to three "erased" communities in Hyderabad, India, all the time working inductively through a series of iterative and participatory methods with local children, community stakeholders, and planning professionals. These adolescents reveal that they socialize in small informal public spaces, typically threshold or transitory spaces, that were closer to home than the current international planning standards suggest. I conclude by drawing transnational conclusions about the deeply gendered consequences of development-forced dispossession in low-income communities.
