• April 4: "China’s Natural Rubber Plantation in the 1950s: A Global View"

  • 3:15PM - 4:30PM
  • Gibson 211
  • In the 1950s, China pursued large-scale natural rubber production, initially with Soviet support as part of a major joint economic project. However, the global economic cold war led to the collapse of this cooperation, straining Sino-Soviet relations and forcing China to seek alternatives. This case revealed how a sector of China’s economy could deeply be entangled with elements from the East, the West, and the South since the 1950s. This event is hosted by UVA's East Asian Center.

  • 12:30PM - 2:30PM
  • New Cabell Hall 349 and via Zoom
  • The goal behind this interdisciplinary event is to approach philology reflexively as critical knowledge, to bring to light and disrupt the invisible mechanisms that continue to govern it by naturalizing structures of domination or imposing self-evident or objective values of truth. This event will serve as both a working session to refine UVA scholars' works before submitting them to a university press in Spain and as an opportunity for them to showcase the results of their group to the UVA community. All are welcome!

• April 11: "Digital Authoritarianism in China as a Coordinated Project"

  • 3:15PM - 4:30PM
  • Gibson 211
  • To date, studies on the resilience of digital authoritarianism in China emphasize how the state has adapted its repressive measures—such as censorship and surveillance—to new technological and communication landscapes. However, this talk will explore how state measures and interactions that cannot be characterized as purely repressive serve to legitimize and strengthen state authority on Chinese social media.  Overall, this talk will illuminate digital authoritarianism in China as a coordinated project. This event is hosted by UVA's East Asia Center.

• April 11: "Ina Césaire's Rosanie Soleil, performed by guest artists ETC Caraïbe"
