> The range of themes will focus on different themes, include the

> situated in, or spanning, different regions of the world, the interactions
> between humanity and the environ¬ment, including those which developed
> over the very long term, through the cultural and economic histories of
> material and social life, the histories of empires, large-scale crises,
> interna¬tional organisations, and the intercontinental sources and
> consequences of revolutions, whether political, technological, the social
> or ideological exchanges on oceans as spaces of sustained interaction
> between communities from different continents, the experience and the
> consequences of migration, and the description of the periods of
> de-globalisation and globalisation.
>
> The congress will be opened by two keynote lectures:
>
> Prof. Maxine Berg (University of Warwick): Europe's Asian Centuries:
> Material Culture and Useful Knowledge 1600–1800
>
> Prof. Michel Espagne (CNRS, Paris): Global History and the
> Conceptualisation of Cultural Transfers
>
> A further feature will be the roundtable on 'Empires and colonies' on
> Friday evening, hosted by the German Historical Institute. Three
> outstanding scholars in the field – Frederick Cooper (New York
> University), John Darwin (University of Oxford), Regina Grafe
> (Northwestern University) – will discuss various, possibly contradicting
> approaches to imperial and colonial history, chaired by Peer Vries
> (University of Vienna).

Fw: H-ASIA: Norma Diamond, 1933-2011

Norma Diamond, 1933-2011
*****************************
From: Susan Blum <sblum@nd.edu>

Dear Colleagues,

It is with sadness that I announce that Norma Diamond, Professor
Emerita, Anthropology, of the University of Michigan, has died.
Originally from New York, Norma was living in retirement in
Gainesville, Florida, but her heart remained in her adopted home town
of Ann Arbor, where her ashes will be placed.

I'm sure many of you knew Professor Diamond's sparkling and insight-
filled work on Chinese women, economy, minorities, and religion. She
leaves many students in the field of China studies to carry on her
legacy of courageous truth-telling.

In 2005 a panel at the American Anthropological Association was
devoted to Norma's work. Titled "Gender, Power, and Ethnicity in
China: Papers in Honor of Norma Diamond," the panel featured several
former students who presented work inspired by Norma's example.

Norma was a broadly trained social scientist and Sinologist who read
extremely broadly and wrote extremely cogently. She earned her BA at
the University of Wisconsin, her PhD was from Cornell University, and
she taught at the University of Michigan for more than thirty years,
where she was a pioneer in women's studies, as well as Asian studies.
She wrote a single-authored monograph, K'un Shen: A Taiwan Village and
many seminal articles such as "The Status of Women in Taiwan: One Step
Forward, Two Steps Back," "Collectivization, Kinship, and the Status
of Women in Rural China," Women Under Kuomintang Rule: Variations on
the Feminine Mystique," "Model Villages and Village Realities,"
"Taitou Revisited: State Policies and Social Change," "Rural
Collectivization and Decollectivization in China—A Review Article,"
"The Miao and Poison: Interactions on China's Frontier" (winner of
the Murdock Prize), "Defining the Miao: Ming, Qing, and Contemporary
Views," and "Christianity and the Hua Miao: Writing and Power." Her
book reviews were models of clarity and sometimes wry forcefulness.

Norma never shied away from honest criticism, even of her own earlier
positions. She followed the news of contemporary China with love and
often disappointment; her hopes had been high for this other homeland
of hers. A fierce believer in equality and justice, she found all too
much inequality and injustice.

Her voice will never be imitated. But it will be missed.
