SUMMARY:Release of Dr. Dong Shikui’s New Book
DESCRIPTION:About this book:This edited volume summarizes information about the situational context\, threats\, problems\, challenges and solutions for sustainable pastoralism at a global scale. The book has four goals. The first goal is to summarize the information about the history\, distribution and patterns of pastoralism and to identify the importance of pastoralism from social\, economic and environmental perspectives. The results of an empirical investigation of the environmental and socio-economic implications of pastoralism in representative pastoral regions in the world are also incorporated. \n\n\n\nThe second goal is to argue that breaking coupled human-natural systems of pastoralism leads to degradation of pastoral ecosystems and to create an analysis framework to assess the vulnerability of worldwide pastoralism. Our analysis framework provides approaches to help comprehensively understand the transitions and the impacts of human-natural systems in the pastoral regions in the world. \n\n\n\nThe third goal is to identify the successful models in promoting coupled human-natural systems of pastoralism\, and to learn lessons of breaking coupled human-cultural pastoralism systems through examining the representative cases in regions including Central Asia\, Southern and Eastern Asia\, Northern and Eastern Africa\, the European Alps and South America. \n\n\n\nThe fourth goal is to identify the strategies to build the resilience of the coupled human-natural systems of pastoralism worldwide. We hope that our book can facilitate the further examination of sustainable development of coupled human-natural systems of pastoralism by providing the summaries of existing data and information related to the pastoralism development\, and by offering a framework for better understanding and analysis of their social\, economic and environmental implications. \n\n\n\nAuthor”s Bio: \n\n\n\nDr.Dong Shikui is currently a full Professor at School of Environment\, Beijing Normal University and an Adjunct Professor at Natural Resource Department of Cornell University\, as well as a fellow of India China Institute and New School\, New York.

SUMMARY:Reflections on the Chinese Cultural Revolution - Impact and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Impact and Legacy of the Cultural Revolution\n\n\n\nA Public Talk by Professor Xu Youyu \n\n\n\nThursday\, October 13\, 2016 \n\n\n\n 4:00-5:30 PM\, Orozco Room \n\n\n\nThis year is the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution in China. To mark this extraordinary period in Chinese history\, the India China Institute has organized several events that examine the revolution’s significance and its lasting impact on China and the world. The events will feature leading scholars on the subject\, some of whom experienced the revolution firsthand. \n\n\n\nSeminar Series: \n\n\n\nReflections of the Cultural Revolution is a seminar series with Xu Youyu\, a Professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Science and a current Scholar in Resident at The New School. The cultural revolution was full of violence and suppression\, and continues to be shrouded in conspiracy. This seminar series is comprised of four parts\, with each part focusing on a different theme\, and attempts to address some of the crucial questions concerning the movement. Professor Xu will deal with key controversies surrounding each theme and develop his own positions. \n\n\n\nXu Youyu was a teenager in the Red Guard at the time of the Chinese Revolution and witnessed the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989. As a pro-democracy activist\, Xu was one of the most prominent signatories of the 2008 Charter 08 manifesto\, which demanded political and humanitarian reforms in China. \n\n\n\nThis is the fourth and final lecture in this series with Professor Xu. This seminar will explore whether the Cultural Revolution was a period of great democracy or anti-democracy? Why do Mao’s former loyal followers fight for democracy? Do Chinese today condemn the Cultural Revolution\, or view it with some nostalgia? \n\n\n\nA link to RSVP for the event will be posted here.

SUMMARY:Colloquium on the Economies and Societies of India and China - Olle Törnquist
DESCRIPTION:Olle Törnquist\n\n\n\nCan social democracy be reinvented? Insights from Indian and Scandinavian comparisons\n\n\n\nOct 17\, 2016 | 4-6pm Orozco Room\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the age of market driven globalisation\, social democracy is hard pressed. Can it be reinvented? Scholars on Scandinavia and India are just out with a joint book that is the first to compare experiences in the South and the North. Having identified the universal processes of social democracy and analysed Indian experiences by asking questions from Scandinavia\, and vice versa\,  they arrive at four general conclusions. One\, the development strategy from the 1930s remain tenable\, but it is missing a fundamental pillar in the form of comprehensive industrialisation and relatively coherent labour movement and modernisation oriented employers. The conditions for social growth pacts are poor in countries like India. Two\, however\, these conditions can be improved by transformative politics. Several additional historical factors in the rise of social democracy remain valid in the South too. Three\, renewal in the South calls for reversed priorities. Struggles for welfare state\, decent conditions at work and representation of the most vital interests in public policy making and administration must come ahead of social growth pacts. A number of experiences suggest that this may not be impossible. Four\, it should be in the enlightened self-interest of social democracy in countries like Sweden and Norway to support such processes. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\n\n\nOlle Törnquist\n\n\n\nProfessor of Political Science and Development Research\, University of Oslo\, Olle has written widely on radical politics\, development and democratization. In addition to parts of India\, especially Kerala\, his main empirical focus since the 1970s is Indonesia\, where he also co-directs research with scholarly activists. His recent books are Assessing Dynamics of Democratisation (Palgrave\, 2013) and the anthologies (with co-editors) Democratisation in the Global South (Palgrave\, 2013) and Reclaiming the State: Overcoming Problems of Democracy in Post-Soeharto Indonesia (PolGo; PCD 2015).

SUMMARY:Triple Play | 3 Films on Kashmir w/ Filmmaker Sarah Singh
DESCRIPTION:TRIPLE PLAY: Three films on Kashmir\nFilm Screening and Panel Discussion on Kashmir \nAward-winning filmmaker and New School alumna Sarah Singh \nPanel – Mohamed Junaid and Prof. Nitin Sawhney in conversation with Sarah Singh \n 5:45pm-7pm | Theresa Lang Community Center (55 W 13th St\, NY) \n\nAll three films are approximately 10 min each. \n\nThe Sky Below (segment from her award-winning documentary)\nA Million Rivers (segment from her new surrealist fiction work)\nSufiyana: Music of the 21st Century (segment from a new film in progress)\n\nThese three completely different film works offers a rare opportunity to construct a cubistic portrait of a people\, land\, culture\, history\, and future\, thereby expanding the narrative portrayal regarding one of the most disturbing and dangerous regional issues of our time. Kashmir is at the forefront of global politics\, like a stick of dynamite between two nuclear nations. The region has been called a ‘frozen conflict’ in which many thousands of lives have been destroyed by a deadly cocktail of internal and external players over decades. \nWhat are the possible outcomes or ways forward in what appears to be an increasingly hostile and desperate clash where ramifications echo across the world\, and importantly\, resonate immediately across Central\, South\, and East Asia? \nThe event is co-sponsored by The India China Institute\, the School of Media Studies and the Engage Media Lab at The New School. \nEvent on Facebook. \nAbout the Filmmaker \nSarah Singh was born in Patiala\, Punjab\, India and moved to the US in 1974. She is an award-winning filmArtist and has completed two feature-length films\, several short film works\, and is in the development of a third feature film. Sarah has worked in the film and TV industry for over a decade. Prior to that she exhibited paintings\, drawings and photography. Starting from her first solo show in 1996 at the Prithvi Gallery in Juhu\, Bombay\, her work has been privately collected. She is on the Board of Advisors for Sindhi Voices Project and The Journal for Ethnic and Migration Studies. \nYou can learn more about Singh’s work on her website. You can follow Sarah on @sarahsinghNY. \nThe Sky Below  is a critically-acclaimed doc on the 1947 Partition of the Subcontinent and the Kashmir question. \nA Million Rivers recently had its’ world premiere at the V&A Museum and will premiere in New York later this Fall. This is an opportunity to get a sneak preview of one of the main thematic aspects of this work. The film starts Om Puri\, Lillete Dubey and Asif Basra as “the man from Kashmir”. \nMusic For the 21st Century is a new film series devoted to exploring music traditions and practices across the Subcontinent. This segment showcases a memorial concert for the world’s last known Kashmir Sufiyana master\, Ghulam Mohammed Saznawaz. \n
