Seminar 1: The Nanai\/Hezhe people and China-Russia relations since the mid-nineteenth century<\/h2>\nOutline<\/h6>\n
Far from the capital cities and political centres of the vast Chinese and Russian worlds, the lives of indigenouspeople living along the Amur River reveal much about the nature of each polity over time. Drawing on myresearch over several years and on both sides of the Russia-China border, in this seminar I will show how theexperiences of indigenous Nanai (Russia) and Hezhe (China) in spheres including material culture, religion,art, language and education over the past 150 years offer new perspectives on relations between these vast states.<\/p>\n

Seminar 2: Migration, settlement and the state in northeast Asia: Cross-border perspectives from the 1840s to today<\/h2>\nOutline<\/h6>\n
Northeast Asia remains divided as a region, particularly compared to other transnational spaces such as Southeast Asia or the EU. A lack of formal regional integration is often reflected in academic institutions where, despite bordering one another directly, China, Russia, Korea and Japan are often studied in distinct Area- or Language-based departments. Much of this division is a result of disputes over historical contact and conflict, yet particularly when it comes to histories of migration and settlement there is much that cross-border study can reveal about similarities between the neighboring regions of Northeast China, the Russian Far East, and Japan\u2019s Hokkaido prefecture. In this seminar I will show how cross-border study of the parallels between experiences of settlement in these regions over the past century and a half offers new insights into particular regional practices of statehood. Bringing notionally divided locations together in this way offers a means of framing \u201cGlobal History\u201d in a highly localized way.<\/p>\n

Seminar 3: Identity and Opportunity among Transnational Chinese Minorities in Asia<\/h2>\nOutline<\/h6>\n
China\u2019s increased political, economic and social importance worldwide in recent decades has motivated recent social scientific interest in two China-connected research areas. Alongside outward flows of capital, people and ideas embodying \u2018global China\u2019, also attracting attention have been developments within the PRC where minority populations confront a state uncompromising on ethnic pluralism. Absent from these agendas, however, have been Chinese minority, i.e. non-Han, communities beyond the country\u2019s borders. This is striking since such groups are positioned exactly at the intersection of the PRC\u2019s shifting geopolitical and ethnopolitical stances, negotiating both challenges and opportunities these present. This seminar will discuss preliminary findings from an ethnographic and textual project which focuses on three communities living in regional hubs neighbouring China: Dungans\/Hui in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Zhuang\/N\u00f9ng in Hanoi, Vietnam and Chosonjok\/Chaoxianzu in Seoul, South Korea. Exploring questions of identity and opportunity among these groups, the project aims to shed light on intersections between changing ideas of \u2018Chineseness\u2019 within and beyond China, and on shifting Asian regionalisms.<\/p>\n
