  • 2016 Austin College Posey Leadership Award Co-Recipients: Sheryl Wudunn & Nicholas Kristof
    2016 Austin College Posey Leadership Award Co-Recipients: Sheryl WuDunn & Nicholas Kristof Founders of the Half the Sky Movement Sheryl WuDunn grew up in New York City, a third-generation Chinese American hailing from the Upper West Side. She earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and a master’s degree in public administration from Princeton University. WuDunn has worked in investment management at Goldman, Sachs & Co. and was a commercial loan officer at Bankers Trust. In addition, she spent time at The New York Times as both a journalist and an executive. During her time as a journalist, WuDunn and her husband, Nicholas Kristof, won a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of China’s Tiananmen Square movement in 1990. Nicholas Kristof grew up on a sheep and cherry farm near Yamhill, Oregon. He graduated from Harvard College and won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, where he studied law. He later studied Arabic in Cairo and Chinese in Taipei. Kristof’s work has taken him all over the world. He has lived on four continents, reported on six, and traveled to more than 150 countries, plus all 50 U.S. states, every Chinese province, and every main Japanese island. Joining The New York Times in 1984, Kristof initially covered economics. Since 2001, he has maintained an op-ed column. In addition to his 1990 Pulitzer honors for coverage of China’s Tiananmen Square movement, Kristof won a second Pulitzer Prize in 2006 for his journalistic coverage of the genocides in Darfur. The latest book by WuDunn and Kristof is A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity (2014).

  • Contemporary China: a Book List
    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST by Lubna Malik and Lynn White Winter 2007-2008 Edition This list is available on the web at: http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinabib.pdf which can be viewed and printed with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Variation of font sizes may cause pagination to differ slightly in the web and paper editions. No list of books can be totally up-to-date. Please surf to find further items. Also consult http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinawebs.doc for clicable URLs. This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of courses on "Chinese Development" and "Chinese Politics," for which students may find books to review in this list; --to provide graduate students with a list that may suggest books for paper topics and may slightly help their study for exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not much should be made of this because such books may be old or the subjects may not meet present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan; many of these are now available on the web,e.g., from “J-Stor”; --to suggest to book selectors in the Princeton libraries items that are suitable for acquisition; to provide a computerized list on which researchers can search for keywords of interests; and to provide a resource that many teachers at various other universities have also used.

  • Chapter 2: Challenges, Resources, and Recommendations
    CHAPTER Challenges, Resources, 2 and Recommendations The tools to crush modern slavery exist, but the political will is lacking. —Sheryl WuDunn he term human trafficking is becoming increasingly familiar among the Tgeneral public in the United States and perhaps even globally. However, a precise understanding of the magnitude of human trafficking is more difficult to grasp. Definitional disagreements, limited data, and unreliable measurement all result in a grave misunderstanding of the scope of human trafficking and its causes. Such misconceptions result in a lower prioritizationdistribute of trafficking in policy and a misallocation of resources for trafficking victims. There are some data and reports, however, that are considered reliable and informative, including the U.S. Department of State’s annual Trafficking in Persons Report, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s (UNODC’s)or Global Report on Trafficking in Persons, reports from the International Labour Organization, and reports from well-known nonprofit organizations such as Walk Free. While these resources are not without their own criticisms, they are the best resources we have to date. This chapter will review the general challenges faced when estimating the magnitude and complexities post,of human trafficking domestically and globally. Additionally, it will provide descriptions of the existing resources, their purposes, data collection strategies, criticisms they face, and their general contributions to the understanding of human trafficking. The chapter will conclude with a discus- sion of future directions for data collection and analyses. Challengescopy, to Understanding Human Trafficking The general population in the United States, and perhaps even the world, does not understand what human trafficking is, its complexities, and its massive reach.

    UIO WHAT’S MY IMAGE IN YOUR REPORTS Rediscussing Objectivity in International News ‐‐The Case of the New York Times and the People’s Daily MASTER THESIS Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo, Norway TAOTAO LIU SPING 2009 SUMMARY This is a 15-day research study aimed at showing how two newspapers, the New York Times and the People’s Daily, report on issues relating to each other countries i.e. The United States and China respectively. It is conducted in the comparative and analysis manner with the aim of finding out whether the two newspapers reported each other’s countries objectively. The quantitative and qualitative methods demonstrate that the problems related to objectivity that are reflected in the two newspapers are also connected to quantity and quality. This is because while reporting about Chinese issues, the New York Times had a total percentage of 67 of all its news items having a negative attitude. While reporting on the issues of the United States, the People’s Daily had more news items with a “superficial” neutral attitude. As a result, in certain aspects, the two elite newspapers violate the principle of objectivity. The differences between the two newspapers, such as the ownership, their writing style, and economy, culture and foreign policy, are the factors that resulted in the problems of the two newspapers that were reflected in this study. Nevertheless, the international integration has evolved into an unstoppable tendency, expanding from the economic field, slowly into the political and cultural field among different countries around the world. Objective international coverage could be the bridge that could connect countries and promote mutual understanding between them.

  • From Two of Our Most Fiercely Moral Voices, A
    U.S.A. :)>27·95 CANADA $34.00 rom two of our most fiercely moral voices, a Fpassionate call to arms against our era's most pervasive human rights violation: the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we under­ take an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope. They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women's potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the fema le half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely hecause they emancipated women and brought them into the form al economy.
