The Weatherhead Center engaged in a very full program of research, sponsored seminars, and new initiatives in 2010–2011. In the fall we welcomed over a dozen new Faculty Associates, sixteen new Fellows, and six visiting scholars into our midst. Twenty-five graduate students made up our Graduate Student Associates program. After a summer of field research sponsored by the WCFIA, we welcomed back sixteen undergraduate senior thesis writers as part of our scholarly community.

In 2010–2011 the WCFIA hosted a number of exciting events. Two special public lectures took place in the fall: the Paul-Henri Spaak Lecture was presented in September by Baroness Catherine Ashton, high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy; and the Manshel Lecture on American Foreign Policy was presented in October by Seymour Hersh, journalist and winner of the Pulitzer Prize. For the first time, the Weatherhead Center hosted, in November, the annual conference of the International Political Economy Society, during which faculty and advanced graduate students from around the country presented papers on topics ranging from the workings of international economic organizations to climate change and economic growth. The Center also experimented with international teleconferencing with a series of six seminars emanating from Harvard for politicians, scholars, journalists, and business people in Sri Lanka on issues of reconciliation, reconstruction, and development—an experiment made possible by our Executive Director Steve Bloomfield’s visit to that country in the summer of 2010.

Of course, our central mission is to support research on international, transnational, and comparative social phenomena, and so we enthusiastically supported an array of interesting faculty research projects this past academic year. Peter Bol, Charles H. Carswell Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, launched an incubation project called “ChinaMap: A Framework for the Spatial Analysis of Contemporary Chinese Society” aiming to provide researchers with the means to map datasets on the web, combine different spatial layers, choose data for statistical analysis, and store and make their research accessible to other scholars. Another incubation grant designed to attract further outside support was initiated by Mary Brinton, Reischauer Institute Professor of Sociology, on “Lowest-Low Fertility in Postindustrial Societies: Family Norms, Gender-Role Norms, and Economic Context,” an effort to build a theoretical framework positing how family- and gender-role norms interact with social institutions and secular economic change to affect societies’ fertility rates and individuals’ marriage and child-bearing decisions. Another valuable project, toward the writing of a scholarly book, was launched by Professor of American History Sven Beckert who has been working on “Europe, Africa and the ‘American Danger,’” an effort to understand how, during the decades from 1870 to 1914, economic globalization and state formation were connected.

Our student programs flourished under the leadership of Professor of History Erez Manela, director of graduate programs, and Vernie Oliviero, lecturer on history, who organized the activities of our undergraduate student researchers. Our graduate students and undergraduates returned in the fall from such far-flung intellectual ventures as studying electoral behavior in Kenya to labor mobility and wage structure in the United States and China, and from an analysis of Arab memories of the Oslo process and the 1994 Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty to how governments and NGOs address the convergence between population and the environment.

Working to facilitate connections between researchers and programs that might otherwise not take place, the Weatherhead Center’s Project on Justice, Welfare, and Economics and the Center for History and Economics took an initiative last year through which young scholars of both programs were encouraged to think about their fundamental research in a context that was not only interdisciplinary but also addressed issues of contemporary public importance. The Center also added to our array of seminars a series on Nigeria in the World, chaired by Jacob Olupona, Professor of African Religious Traditions at the Harvard Divinity School, and Professor of African and African American Studies

INTRODUCTION • WCFIA ANNUAL REPORT • 2010–2011 3 in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and a revived Africa Research Seminar under the supervision of Matthew Jukes, assistant professor of education.

Calendar year 2011 began with an array of events that justly captured the attention of humanity worldwide, and the Weatherhead Center sponsored a series of gatherings that convened our intellectual community to discuss critical “local” issues of global importance. (As scholars, our hope is to continually engage with not only theory and scholarly trends but also world events with a depth and breadth of experience and understanding that only a diverse research community can provide.)

Events in the Middle East and Northern Africa provided one common theme around which our research community convened. Democratic change in Egypt and elsewhere sparked discussion about the experience of demanding peaceful change at the street level. In March, the Center co-sponsored a screening of the powerful film documentary, We Are Egypt, the story of the struggle for democracy in Egypt that led to the historic uprising in January and February 2011. The screening was followed by commentary from Harvard Kennedy School professor and WCFIA Faculty Associate Tarek Masoud and filmmaker Lillie Paquette.

In addition, the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Center co-hosted a lecture by Sahar El-Nadi, creator and director of the award-winning intercultural communication project, “Don’t Hate, Educate.” Her lecture was yet another opportunity to bring into our midst eyewitness accounts of the processes most of us saw unfold only in the newspapers. Also, in the middle of April, the Center’s Program on Transatlantic Relations organized a seminar entitled “After Libya: A Revival of the Age of Intervention?” in which Associate Bjoern Seibert, a policy adviser for the Policy Planning and Advisory Staff of the German Federal Ministry of Defense in Berlin, moderated a discussion among Barry Posen, Ford International Professor of Political Science and director of the Security Studies Program at MIT; Roger Owen, A.J. Meyer Professor of Middle East History in Harvard’s Department of History; and Weatherhead Center Fellow and US Air Force Colonel, Dagvin Anderson.

The tragic triple disaster in Japan of March 11 also spawned a wide array of activities that informed our affiliates and the broader Harvard community. Long one of our most vibrant programs, the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations worked alongside Harvard students to organize a “Harvard for Japan Week” (March 21–26, 2011). Kotaro Tamura, Research Associate of our Program on U.S.-Japan Relations, soon thereafter spoke at a very well-attended seminar on “How Will Japan Recover from the Great Earthquake?” Then on March 23, the CGIS Tsai Auditorium was packed for a panel discussion entitled “Crisis in Japan: The Way Forward.” The event was sponsored by the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations, the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies, the Harvard University Asia Center, and the Takemi Program in International Health at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH).

As a Center devoted to basic research in the social sciences in international and transnational affairs, those few months provided ample opportunities for us to think about how what we study connects with developments—positive and disastrous—around the world.

As the largest social-science research center at Harvard University, the Weatherhead Center continued to do its share to support the financial needs of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). We once again contributed approximately $830,000 toward the highest priorities of the FAS, including regular faculty sabbaticals and graduate students’ dissertation completion grants. Of course, this practice continued to somewhat curtail our independent ability to pick and choose those projects and those investigators whose work on international, transnational, and comparative social phenomena merits extra financial support in order to reach fruition. But with the collective wisdom of the Center’s Steering Committee and Executive Committee, as well as the unparalleled support of our highly professional staff, I continued to work to be sure that the Center stayed true to its tradition of funding as much cutting- edge and policy-relevant basic research in the international social sciences as we possibly could.
