On the Passing of James Scott

August 9, 2024

Eric Tagliacozzo

On July 19, 2024, James Scott, Sterling Professor at Yale in both Political Science and Anthropology, and founder of Yale’s Agrarian Studies Program, passed away at the age of eighty-seven. 

Scott was a giant of the field, and his work transcended Southeast Asian Studies, as well as the disciplines that housed him at Yale. Through a series of books penned over the course of his career, each more successful than the next, he showcased a remarkable intellectual range that was as broad as it was unique in its conception. Scott had a peripatetic intelligence. Though he was the author of books on the moral economy of Burmese and Vietnamese peasants in the 1920s and 30s, as well as the effects of the green revolution on small-town Malaysia in the second half of the 20th century, his horizons stretched ever-further as he got older, both geographically and temporally. High-altitude Southeast Asia (stretching in fact into parts of South and East Asia), and eventually even the Ancient Near East also came to be folded into his erudition. Throughout all these projects, his profound connection with theory -- and the human condition writ-large -- pervaded his work. He was a Southeast Asianist at base, therefore, but one read by millions of people outside of Southeast Asian Studies. He was a one-man band in not following intellectual trends, but rather, in setting them. Few people have been more cited across the academy in the last half-century, across a huge swath of disciplines and sub-fields.
 
More than any of this, however, Scott was an exceedingly decent man. At once respected and beloved, it’s hard to imagine someone who had more influence on his peers, and on generations of students (his own, and others) who came after him. His passing leaves a hole in the fabric of the academy. He will be missed.

Information Session: International Relations & Migration Studies Minors

October 30, 2024

4:30 pm

Uris Hall, G08

The Migration Studies Minor is a university-wide, interdisciplinary undergraduate minor that prepares students to understand the historical and contemporary contexts and factors that drive international migration and shape migrant experiences around the globe. This minor draws on the rich course offerings found across the humanities and social sciences at Cornell and is designed to draw students outside of their major fields and to extend their knowledge beyond a single country.

Is the Einaudi Center's International Relations minor for you? Here's a chance to find out. In the international relations minor, you study the politics, economics, history, languages, and cultures of the world and gain a fresh perspective on your major field of study. Graduates go on to successful careers in fields like international law, economics, agriculture, trade, finance, journalism, education, government service, and more.

Can’t attend? Contact migration-minor@einaudi.cornell.edu (Migrations) or irm@einaudi.cornell.edu (International Relations).
