  • The Arts of Making Do and Working out in Beijing, China
    What are friends for?: The arts of making do and working out in Beijing, China Michelle Yang Zhang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Michelle Yang Zhang All Rights Reserved Abstract What are friends for?: The arts of making do and working out in Beijing, China Michelle Yang Zhang Through a second look at the now twenty-five-year-old literature on guanxi, a form of reciprocal relationship making and using in China, I examine how the kinds of opportunities and challenges possible for young people intersect with who they know and how this has changed (with its own set of reflections on and consequences for a still-rapidly changing China) since China’s rural to urban transition. My dissertation project examines how young people in contemporary urban China form and produce guanxi ties (resource-full relationships) through the theoretical lens of practice and possibility, inspired by de Certeau’s conceptualization of practice, productive consumption, and strategies versus tactics (1984). Drawing on qualitative data gathered through participant observation and unstructured interviews, I sought to both describe and analyze when, where, and how social networks became consequential. Central to my methodology is an emphasis on people and their practices rather than the common sense categories used to describe them. The people in my field research were predominantly aged 18- 30 and came from a range of ethnic, professional, and education backgrounds. In so doing, I was able to examine the moments and contexts within which some people have opportunities and others do not, as well as when some are vulnerable while others are less so.

  • Community Commitment Report
    COMMUNITY COMMITMENT REPORT 1 FROM OUR CEO A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT Most people recognize The Greenbrier Companies today as a global supplier of freight railcars, marine barges and related services. Across the world, our more than 12,000 employees in 5 countries work hard every day to supply freight equipment and services to a diverse community of customers. People are often surprised to learn that Greenbrier’s roots trace to 1919, when the Gunderson brothers formed a steel fabrication business in Portland, Oregon. Over the years, that company grew and expanded to railcar and barge manufacturing, and today it remains our flagship manufacturing location supporting operations on four continents. As our company has grown, we’ve never forgotten the communities and people who helped us along the way. We still care deeply about Portland, just like we care about Świdnica, Poland, Hortolandia, Brazil, Arad, Romania, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the other communities around the world that Greenbrier calls home. Sometimes, Greenbrier’s investments are provided to help alleviate immediate human suffering, other times, they are simply about making our community a better place to live. We’re proud that Greenbrier’s success has enabled us to give back at a high level, making direct impacts in the communities where we do business, including in Sahagún, Tlaxcala and Monclova, Mexico, where our employees recently helped their local communities recover from two devastating earthquakes. This fiscal year, our employees across the globe dedicated over 10,616 hours to volunteer service. We’re proud of our commitment to making an impact in our local communities, and we challenge ourselves to do more every year.
