SUMMARY:Fifth International Conference on the Unfinished Legacy of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar - Dalits in Global Context: Rethinking Gender and Religion
DESCRIPTION:RSVP for The Fifth International Conference on Unfinished Legacy of Dr. Ambedkar \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom October 24-26\, 2019\, the New School will host the Fifth International Conference on the Legacy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. This year’s conference theme is Dalits in Global Context: Rethinking Gender and Religion. \n\n\n\nAmbedkar Conference Agenda Final \n\n\n\n5th International Ambedkar Conference Bios \n\n\n\nThe conference will explore critical issues faced by the Dalit community\, with a focus on the intersecting nature of gender\, religion\, and caste-based discrimination. Since its inception\, the Ambedkar Conference has convened various scholars and practitioners\, institutions and organizations across the world\, creating a space to discuss the politics of equal dignity and equal rights for Dalits. This year\, we hope to further this conversation. \n\n\n\nWhile the New School is this year’s host\, the conference is a collaboration between the following universities and think tanks: \n\n\n\nBrandeis University Barnard College\, Columbia University University of Massachusetts\, Amherst The Indian Institute of Dalit Studies\, India SAMATA Foundation\, NepalUniversity of CincinnatiCASTE: a Global Journal on Social Exclusion International Ambedkar Mission\, USABoston Study GroupIndia China Institute\, The New SchoolJulien Studley Graduate Study Program in International AffairsThe Global Studies Program\, The New School\n\n\n\nRelated Event: \n\n\n\nSecond Annual Ambedkar Lectures at Columbia University\, organized by Anupama Rao  \n\n\n\nOct. 17th: Race\, Caste\, and American Pragmatism  \n\n\n\nOct. 18th: Remaking Publics: Gender\, Affect\, Insurgence\, Presence \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOther Related Events: \n\n\n\nWorkshop (invite-only) on Dalits in Global Context: Rethinking Religion and Gender Sponsored by The Henry Luce Foundation \n\n\n\nFrom October 21-24\, 2019\, the India China Institute at The New School is hosting a focused workshop along the theme of the conference. The primary goal of the workshop is to convene an invited group of Global Dalit Change-makers — young and emerging scholars from within and outside of the Dalit community who are already working at the junction of gender\, religion\, caste\, and social justice. ICI will also invite established scholars and practitioners in the field to help inspire the workshop with intellectual rigor\, deep critical inquiry\, and innovative practices.  \n\n\n\nThis will be a new kind of conversation— the first workshop of its kind outside of South Asia\, one that combines scholarship and activism\, and strengthens conversations between scholars and practitioners when analyzing caste-based discrimination. The selected group of workshop participants will then join the Ambedkar Conference at the New School\, where they will present their work. \n\n\n\n100 Years of New \n\n\n\n2019 marks The New School’s centennial year\, and thus provides an opportunity to reflect not only on the university’s history of critical social inquiry\, but also the early days of the school’s founding. B.R. Ambedkar\, while a student at Columbia University\, studied under one of The New School’s co-founders\, John Dewey\, and was greatly influenced by him. The Ambedkar Conference is an opportunity for the New School to convene individuals who are writing and researching in the New School’s spirit of creative and critical scholarship\, and who\, more than anything\, are training their gazes on a future we’ll soon inhabit. \n\n\n\nThe Bluestone Rising Scholars Prize \n\n\n\nBrandeis University\, original convener of the International Conference on the Unfinished Legacy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar\, awarded inaugural Bluestone Rising Scholar Prizes to two early career scholars\, to be published in CASTE: A Global Journal on Social Exclusion. The prize recipients will take part in an Award Ceremony at Brandeis University\, and then join the International Conference at The New School. \n\n\n\nMore Conference Information: \n\n\n\nInformation for Call for Papers \n\n\n\nCall for Papers \n\n\n\nI am born a Hindu\, but I will not die a Hindu\, for that is in my power. \n\n\n\nB. R. Ambedkar\, Yeola Conference\, Maharashtra\, India\, 193 \n\n\n\nThe most problematic aspect of Hindutva is the issue of the treatment of lower castes and tribes. It’s not only that you can ignore some people\, but that you identify who it is that you can ignore.  \n\n\n\nAmartya Sen\, Harvard University Interview in The Hindu\, Feb. 28\, 2019 \n\n\n\nAccording to the International Dalit Solidarity Network\, “caste discrimination is one of the biggest human rights violations facing the international community today; both in terms of the numbers affected and the severity of the human rights violations caused by this form of discrimination.” The caste system is one of the most brutal forms of hierarchical social organization and caste-based discrimination affects over 250 million people in South Asia and across the globe. Dalits\, that is\, the “former Untouchables” are on the lowest rung of the Hindu social structure and South Asian society. Despite some increased legal protections in caste-affected countries within and without South Asia\, the Dalit community continues to face indignities ranging from daily humiliations\, to extreme poverty and servitude\, to violence and murder. These indignities are still largely shaped by understandings and practices of religion and underlying notions of purity and impurity as determined by birth and exacerbated by gender relations. For the Dalit community\, the entrenched caste system sanctions a massive denial of citizenship and fundamental rights which others enjoy under the constitutions of countries in South Asia. \n\n\n\nDuring this conference\, we aim to address issues or questions related to the theme of religion\, caste\, gender and social justice in or comparative to the South Asian context. These questions might include some of the following: \n\n\n\nHow can we rethink and reimagine established and emerging debates concerning these issues on methodologies\, research\, policies\, and trans-boundary collaborations? \n\n\n\nHow have the hierarchies of gender and sexuality affected and been transformed by Dalit women and men? \n\n\n\nWhat are the personal and political actions that Dalit women and men have taken to negotiate with patriarchy\, both inside and outside the Dalit community? \n\n\n\nHow do we engage with Dalit women’s lives at the intersections of gender\, caste\, class\, and religion? \n\n\n\nHow have Dalits used practice and faith to claim dignity and build solidarity? How have they expressed their experiences and aspirations in literary and other art forms to resist injustice and inhumanity? \n\n\n\nIn what ways have Dalit women (and men) carved out a new transnational political space to imagine a brighter future? \n\n\n\nHow can we analyze the intersections of caste and religion beyond Hinduism\, for example in Islam\, Christianity\, Buddhism or Sikhism\, specifically in South Asia? \n\n\n\nFor more information about Dalit issues\, please visit: \n\n\n\nInternational Dalit Solidarity Network \n\n\n\nIndian Institute of Dalit Studies \n\n\n\nSAMATA Foundation

SUMMARY:Fueling Revolution: Carbon Technocracy in the Early People's Republic of China
DESCRIPTION:RSVP: Fueling Revolution \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVictor Seow is a historian of technology\, industry\, and the environment. His research interests revolve around questions of how technological developments intersect with economic life and environmental change in the making and unmaking of industrial society. Geographically\, he focuses on East Asia\, which\, in the modern era\, witnessed monumental transformations across its vast expense and multiple environments as regimes that ranged from imperialist to socialist pursued industrial expansion through heavily technological means. His research sets out to map the contours of those transformations in the past that gave rise to outcomes with which the region still grapples in the present\, from despoiled environments to divided societies. At the same time\, his work situates East Asia within a global frame and seeks to show how attention to East Asian experiences may sharpen historical and contemporary understandings of technology and the environment in our modern world. \n\n\n\nSeow is currently finishing his first book\, Carbon Technocracy: Energy Regimes in Modern East Asia\, which explores how coal resources and mining technologies shaped Chinese and Japanese experiences with global industrial modernity. Centered on the Fushun colliery in Manchuria\, which once boasted the largest coal mining operations in Asia\, this project examines how the various Chinese and Japanese regimes that had at different times owned and operated the Fushun coal mines became committed to large-scale\, state-led energy extraction amidst concerns over economic growth\, resource scarcity\, and national autarky. Pivotal to this process was the development and deployment of technologies of extraction: from methods such as open-pit mining and shale oil distillation that enabled the extraction of carbon energy to mechanisms such as fingerprinting and calorie counting that allowed for the extraction of the human labor undergirding the entire enterprise. Grounded in a range of Chinese and Japanese sources\, including engineering students’ practicum reports\, workers’ oral histories\, and the personal papers of mining managers\, this project uncovers links between the intensification of coal extraction and the rise of technocratic governance in transwar East Asia\, ultimately contributing to interdisciplinary debates about the relationship between energy and the state. \n\n\n\nOther ongoing projects include a history of scientific management in China and an environmental history of Chinese innovation as well as two collaborative projects: one on Mr. Science in May Fourth China and beyond (with Sean Hsiang-lin Lei) and the other on technologies of production in East Asian history (with Dagmar Schäfer). \n\n\n\nAt Harvard\, Seow offers or will be offering courses in the history of modern science and technology in East Asia\, the history of the factory\, and the history of technology and capitalism. \n\n\n\nBorn and raised in Singapore\, Seow received his B.A. in History and Political Science from McGill University and his Ph.D. in History and East Asian Languages from Harvard University. Before joining the Harvard faculty in 2017\, he was an Assistant Professor of History at Cornell University.
