Alongside China’s rapid economic growth and urbanization, the country has witnessed an unprecedented wave of rural-to-urban migration. Educating this large population poses considerable challenges to the nation’s household registration (hukou)–based education system. Addressing the educational needs of migrant children is not only essential for promoting social equity and cohesion, but also carries profound implications for China’s long-term economic development and social progress. Since the central government issued a 2001 directive requiring destination cities to provide public education for migrant children, their access to urban schools has improved substantially, however, reforms related to high school admissions have progressed more slowly. This lecture addresses the data gathering structure created by the author and examines how these policies influence family migration decisions and the educational outcomes of migrant children.
Chen Yuanyuan is Vice Dean and Chair Professor of the School of…

Futurisms and the African Now: Tech for Development and Democracy
Free and open to the public. Registration required.
In this talk, Dr. Reginold Royston will discuss technology and role of Pan-Africanism in the fields of international development, diaspora and politics in Ghana and beyond. Royston's new book Pan-African Futurism examines the state of IT for development work in this critical moment of "post-aid” drawing from his ethnographic research with programmers, artists and entrepreneurs on the continent since 2010. The book charts the explosion of mobile Internet across Africa during the early 2000s, growing interest in African tech entrepreneurship as a development driver, and the flowering of digital diasporas in the time since, especially in the creative fields of Nollywood and AfroBeats. Royston describes how Ghana's Pan-African futurists advocate entrepreneurship and civil society activism as a means of “hacking” the kinds of socio-economic development work that has long been advocated by NGOs. He will discuss how the controversial ideas of Afropolitanism and…

Augustine the African: author Catherine Conybeare in conversation with Mark Letteney
Augustine of Hippo (354–430), also known as Saint Augustine, was one of the most influential theologians in history. His writings, including the autobiographical Confessions and The City of God, helped shape the foundations of Christianity and Western philosophy. But for many centuries, Augustine’s North African birth and Berber heritage have been dismissed. Catherine Conybeare puts the “African” back in Augustine’s story. As she relates, his seminal books were written neither in Rome nor in Milan but in Africa, where he had returned as a wanderer during a perilous time when the Western Roman Empire was crumbling. Using extant letters and other shards of evidence, Conybeare retraces Augustine’s travels, revealing how his ground-breaking works emerge from an exile’s perspective within an African context. In its depiction of this Christian saint, Augustine the African upends conventional wisdom and traces core ideas of Christian thought to their origins on the African continent.

Book Talk: 'Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy: Sexual Disorientation in the Films of Tsai Ming-liang' with Nicholas de Villiers
In Cruisy, Sleepy, Melancholy: Sexual Disorientation in the Films of Tsai Ming-liang (University of Minnesota Press, 2022), Nicholas de Villiers contends that we need to theorize both queer time and space to understand Taiwan-based director Tsai Ming-liang's cinematic explorations of feeling melancholy, cruisy, and sleepy. Building on those arguments, this presentation starts with a reading of Tsai’s short film It’s a Dream (2007)—set in a movie theater in Malaysia—as a microcosm of Tsai’s themes and motifs of sleep/dreaming, cruising, nostalgia, and the space of the cinema. It then addresses Tsai’s “post-retirement” (after 2013) films and museum installations, including the queer Teddy award-winning digital feature film Days (Rizi, 2020) shot in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and the short film The Night (2021) shot in Hong Kong in 2019. Both were featured in the solo exhibition Tsai Ming-liang’s Days at the Museum of National Taipei University of Education (MoNTUE) in 2023, experimenting with "expanded…

Book Launch: Mark Letteney – Ancient Mediterranean Incarceration
Please join the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies as we celebrate the recent publication of faculty member Mark Letteney's new book: Ancient Mediterranean Incarceration, co-authored by Matthew D. C. Larsen.
This book examines spaces, practices, and ideologies of incarceration in the ancient Mediterranean basin from 300 BCE to 600 CE. Analyzing a wide range of sources—including legal texts, archaeological findings, documentary evidence, and visual materials—Matthew D. C. Larsen and Mark Letteney argue that prisons were integral to the social, political, and economic fabric of ancient societies. Ancient Mediterranean Incarcerationtraces a long history of carceral practices, considering ways in which the institution of prison has been fundamentally intertwined with issues of class, ethnicity, gender, and imperialism. By foregrounding the voices and experiences of the imprisoned, Larsen and Letteney demonstrate the extraordinary durability of carceral structures across time and call for a new historical…

Join us for a talk on Miriam Udel's new book: Modern Jewish Worldmaking Through Yiddish Children's Literature, hosted by the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, a group of Yiddish-speaking educators, authors, and cultural leaders undertook a bold project: creating a corpus of nearly one thousand books and several periodicals, which flourished in conjunction with the secular Yiddish school systems that spanned the globe in the 1920s and 30s. These vibrant texts cut across continents and ideologies but shared in their creators’ overarching goal: to write into being a better world, a shenere un besere velt—in a distinctively Yiddish key. The question of what a “better world” looks like is, of course, inextricably bound up in questions of political vision. Investigated as an archive, the stories, poems, and plays written for children during the early twentieth century furnish a novel record of the movements—geographic and ideological—that made Ashkenazi Jewry fully…

Everyone loves the Middle Ages, or so it seems, says Umberto Eco in “The Return of the Middle Ages.”
The Middle Ages often provide a comforting script for stories that may bind a community together, driving a kind of nostalgia for an imagined past. This talk examines the reception of the German Middle Ages after the rediscovery of, and renewed interest in, German medieval texts from Minnesang and the Nibelungenlied or
Wolfram’s Parzival by intellectuals such as Ludwig Tieck or Friedrich von der Hagen. I argue that this reception
becomes a foundational aspect of the greater German cultural community (Kulturgemeinschaft) of ethnic
Germans after 1750 living outside of the contemporary nation state of Germany (after 1750). Drawing a large arc
from the thirteenth century to present, this talk will explore the continuing medievalist legacy that supports
the Kulturgemeinschaft. The malleable concept of the “Medieval” undergirds the practice of medievalisms that
embed the Middle Ages in the present, amplifying the…

Canada’s energy industry, like many other sectors in the country’s economy, is at a strategic inflection point, which has implications for trade, national unity, and Indigenous rights. In recent decades, mainly owing to the growth of oil sands/tar sands (bitumen) extraction in northern Alberta, Canada has moved to near the front of the global pack as an oil-exporting nation. In 2024, Canada exported, on average, a record 4.2 million barrels of oil per day. Much of this product has been exported to and/or processed in the US, with Canada now providing over half of US oil imports. Canada has also expanded pipeline capacity to the Pacific Coast to access Asia-Pacific markets. Given price discounts and current uncertainties of trade with the US, there is currently a push to build another coastal pipeline and to reduce perceived impediments to…

Indira Allegra: The Book of Zero
Death is a fundamental first step to rebirth, but this transition can be a daunting prospect without a compassionate guide. Our 2026 Jacob Lawrence Legacy Resident, Indira Allegra, intervenes with The Book of Zero, a multimedia meditative experience that brings together powerful sensations and visuals that have emerged during Allegra’s investigations into doula work, death care, and cycles of the body and environment.
In The Book of Zero, water, weaving, and projections animate the earth and its afflictions. The structures of hate that have plagued our communities—white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, bigotry—are in their final death throes, but they need to be helped along the way to their ultimate dissolution. Borrowing from the narrative structures and poetic repetition of sacred texts, Allegra’s guidance in The Book of Zero pushes through the violence of a difficult ending with compassion in order to welcome the spirit of a new beginning.
Rebirth happens on both collective and individual levels. The…

The Poetic Way of Xie Lingyun : Literary Expression and the Natural World (University Press 2025).
During the dark centuries between the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 CE and the golden age of reunified China under the Tang and Song dynasties (618–1279), the shi poetic form embraced new themes and structure. In this meticulously constructed study, Ping Wang traces the social conditions that sparked innovation and marked a significant turn in intellectual history. Using biography, social history, and literary analysis, she demonstrates how the shi form came to dominate classical Chinese poetry, making possible the works of the great poets of later dynasties and influencing literary development in Korea and Japan.
Focusing on the life of poet Xie Lingyun (385–433), Wang traces the exile of aristocratic families in the wild south, which led to their thematic use of “mountains and water” (shanshui) landscapes over the pastoral ones of earlier writers and artists. Changes in poetic form moved away from genres…

Free and open to the public. Registration encouraged.
Since the early 2000s, literary scholarship has read Hebrew and Arabic literatures together to find moments of transgression or trespass, challenging logics of partition. In Static Forms: Writing the Present in the Modern Middle East, Shir Alon develops an alternative model for reading Arabic and Hebrew literatures, as two literary systems sharing a remarkably similar narrative of modernization and developing parallel literary forms to address it. In this talk, Alon will discuss the potentials of a paradigm grounded in formal and affective analysis for new understandings of transnational modernism, Middle Eastern literatures, and comparative literary studies at large. She will also explore the limits of this approach, when parallel readings of Hebrew and Arabic literatures obfuscate rather than clarify the conditions of the present.
Shir Alon is assistant professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Her work on…

Katz Distinguished Lecture: Emily M. Bender, "Resisting Dehumanization in the Age of "AI": The View from the Humanities"
The production and promotion of so-called "AI" technology involves dehumanization on many fronts: the computational metaphor valorizes one kind of cognitive activity as “intelligence,” devaluing many other aspects of human experience while taking an isolating, individualistic view of agency, ignoring the importance of communities and webs of relationships. Meanwhile, the purpose of humans is framed as being labelers of data or interchangeable machine components. Data collected about people is understood as "ground truth" even while it lies about those people, especially marginalized people. In this talk, Bender will explore these processes of dehumanization and the vital role that the humanities have in resisting these trends by painting a deeper and richer picture of what it is to be human.
Emily M. Bender is the Thomas L. and Margo G. Wyckoff Endowed Professor in Linguistics and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Computer Science and the Information School at the University of Washington, where she has…

Book Talk: 'Ghost Nation: the Story of Taiwan and its Struggle for Survival' with Chris Horton
In Ghost Nation: the Story of Taiwan and its Struggle for Survival, Chris Horton compares Beijing's claim that Taiwan has been Chinese territory "since time immemorial" with Taiwan's actual history. Several different groups have controlled some or all of Taiwan over the last 400 years -- the Dutch, Spanish, Tungning, Manchu, Japanese, Chinese, and now, Taiwanese. By looking at those who have ruled Taiwan, Horton also tells the story of the Taiwanese people, highlighting their intergenerational quest for self-determination -- and the existential threat posed by an expansionist Chinese Communist Party.
, Chris Horton is a freelance journalist and author who has been based in Taipei, Taiwan for the past decade. He previously spent 13 years in China and two in Hong Kong. He has written extensively for The New York Times, Bloomberg News, Nikkei Asia, The Atlantic and elsewhere, covering Taiwan's national security, diplomacy, economy, culture and more.

Can political elites shape public opinion by influencing the tone of news coverage, even when they cannot dictate what gets covered? This study addresses that question using text analysis of more than five million Japanese news articles from 2004–2024, showing that rising negativity in legacy media closely corresponds with declines in cabinet approval. A newly compiled dataset of prime ministers’ daily schedules further reveals that periods of intensified elite engagement with journalists coincide with less negative coverage. Together, these findings suggest that incumbents may still temper media tone through proactive outreach, though this influence appears to weaken in the age of fragmented, digital media.
Colin Moreshead is a postdoctoral fellow at the Program on US-Japan Relations at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University. He completed his doctorate in Political Science at Yale University, where he specialized in comparative politics. His research centers on political…

Public Lecture: Seeing Like a Merchant – Jews and Greeks from Ottoman to Greek Rule
Join us for a talk with Paris Papamichos Chronakis on his new book: The Business of Transition – Jewish and Greek Merchants of Salonica from Ottoman to Greek Rule.
How did the cosmopolitan bourgeoisie of the Eastern Mediterranean navigate the transition from empire to nation-state in the early twentieth century? In this talk, Paris Papamichos Chronakis shows how the Jewish and Greek merchants of Salonica (present-day Thessaloniki) skillfully managed the tumultuous shift from Ottoman to Greek rule amidst rising ethnic tensions and heightened class conflict. Bringing their once powerful voices back into the historical narrative, he traces their entangled trajectories as businessmen, community members, and civic leaders to illustrate how the self-reinvention of a Jewish-led bourgeoisie made a city Greek. Salonica’s merchants were present in their own—and their city’s—remaking.
Paris Papamichos Chronakis is Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Modern Greek History at Royal Holloway University of London. His work…

LECTURE | Palestine to Iraq with Adam Hanieh
While World War I is often framed as a European conflict, its most far-reaching consequences were profoundly felt far beyond Europe’s borders. In the Middle East, the war sparked a sweeping political crisis that ultimately led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. In its wake, the European victors imposed new borders and mandates, carving the region into fragmented zones of imperial control and influence. Moving beyond frameworks centered solely on empire, the talk examines how anti-colonial actors envisioned their futures within a rapidly transforming global system—even as new hierarchies of race, empire, and capital were being redefined. Registration to receive the livestream link opens December 10, 2025. Free and open to all. About the speaker

Free and open to all. At the Jackson School, opportunities and events are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity.
As part of the ongoing LACS "Dangerous Subjects" workshop series, University of Oregon Professor Julie Weise will present her draft chapter, which forms part of a larger manuscript, Guest Worker: Lives across Borders in an Age of Prosperity, 1919-75, under contract with UNC Press. The project explores the histories of “temporary” labor migration policies and the people whose lives they shaped, grounded in one case study each from Europe, southern Africa, and North America. The chapter utilizes oral history interviews and archival evidence to examine the physical experiences of labor, life, and leisure for migrant workers in the United States, South Africa, and France, as well as the ways that the organization of work, food, and housing could foment specific constellations of relationships with political implications.
This colloquium series is designed to provide…

For most of Sorrel’s high school career, she was friendless and quietly weird. She didn’t even seem to fit in with the geeky kids. When she turned seventeen, and late puberty produced a supermodel physique, she became seen as a “hot dork”. Bunny spans twenty years of Sorrel’s life. Unencumbered by the burden of shame, she journeys through the complex social expectations surrounding female sexuality. MFA student, Ren, directs this intimate and thought-provoking play.
