Instructions on How to Read the Time Zones Each Schedule for the Conference Days Includes the Time Zones of Presenters and Participants Instructions on how to read the time zones Each schedule for the conference days includes the time zones of presenters and participants. The events are always scheduled in the column representing the time zone of the presenter. What does that mean? If you are scheduled to present and are located in the US where the central time UTC-5 is valid, then you check that column for your event and the left of that column for the time of your event. For example, workshop 9a is taking place at 10:30 AM US Central UTC-5. Participants who want to view the presentation need to have their time zone in mind and check the times either left or right of the 10:30 AM US Central UTC-5, that is, on the same line. If you are a viewer located in Germany, workshop 9a takes place at 4:30 PM (UTC+1). If you are joining from China (UTC+8), that would make the workshop a late evening event at 11:30 PM. soon. iConference 2021 Agenda Public Schedule The schedule presented in SCOOCS (formerly iChair), our online conferencing platform, automatically converts the presentation times to the time zone of your location. 17.03 - 31.03 Please check the digital public schedule here: https://iconference2021.ichair.org/public/conference/150/timeline-agenda Version: 11 March 2021 Color Keys Full Papers Visions Workshops Posters Student symposium Chinese Papers Early Career Colloquium Previous day / Next day Short Papers Keynotes SIE VIS Doctoral Colloquium 2 Archival Education Break Wednesday, 17.03 Time US - Pacific UTC-7 Time US - Mountain UTC-6 Time US - Central UTC-5 Time US - East UTC-4 Time UTC +1 Time China UTC+8 Time Japan/Korea UTC+9 Time Australia UTC+11 Time New Zealand UTC+13 12:30:00 PM 1:30:00 PM 2:30:00 PM 3:30:00 PM 8:30:00 PM 3:30:00 AM 4:30:00 AM 6:30:00 AM 8:30:00 AM 1:00:00 PM 2:00:00 PM 3:00:00 PM 4:00:00 PM 9:00:00 PM 4:00:00 AM 5:00:00 AM 7:00:00 AM 9:00:00 AM 1:30:00 PM 2:30:00 PM 3:30:00 PM 4:30:00 PM 9:30:00 PM 4:30:00 AM 5:30:00 AM 7:30:00 AM 9:30:00 AM 2:00:00 PM 3:00:00 PM 4:00:00 PM 5:00:00 PM 10:00:00 PM 5:00:00 AM 6:00:00 AM 8:00:00 AM 10:00:00 AM 2:30:00 PM 3:30:00 PM 4:30:00 PM 5:30:00 PM 10:30:00 PM 5:30:00 AM 6:30:00 AM 8:30:00 AM 10:30:00 AM 3:00:00 PM 4:00:00 PM 5:00:00 PM 6:00:00 PM 11:00:00 PM 6:00:00 AM 7:00:00 AM 9:00:00 AM 11:00:00 AM 3:30:00 PM 4:30:00 PM 5:30:00 PM 6:30:00 PM 11:30:00 PM 6:30:00 AM 7:30:00 AM 9:30:00 AM 11:30:00 AM 4:00:00 PM 5:00:00 PM 6:00:00 PM 7:00:00 PM 12:00:00 AM 7:00:00 AM 8:00:00 AM 10:00:00 AM 12:00:00 PM 4:30:00 PM 5:30:00 PM 6:30:00 PM 7:30:00 PM 12:30:00 AM 7:30:00 AM 8:30:00 AM 10:30:00 AM 12:30:00 PM 5:00:00 PM 6:00:00 PM 7:00:00 PM 8:00:00 PM 1:00:00 AM 8:00:00 AM 9:00:00 AM 11:00:00 AM 1:00:00 PM 5:30:00 PM 6:30:00 PM 7:30:00 PM 8:30:00 PM 1:30:00 AM 8:30:00 AM 9:30:00 AM 11:30:00 AM 1:30:00 PM (168) AI + Informetrics: Multi-disciplinary Interactions in the Era of Big Data Zhang, Yi (1);

  • Conceptualizing the Blue Frontier: the Great Qing and the Maritime World
    Conceptualizing the Blue Frontier: The Great Qing and the Maritime World in the Long Eighteenth Century Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultüt der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg Vorgelegt von Chung-yam PO Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Harald Fuess Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Joachim Kurtz Datum: 28 June 2013 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Acknowledgments 3 Emperors of the Qing Dynasty 5 Map of China Coast 6 Introduction 7 Chapter 1 Setting the Scene 43 Chapter 2 Modeling the Sea Space 62 Chapter 3 The Dragon Navy 109 Chapter 4 Maritime Customs Office 160 Chapter 5 Writing the Waves 210 Conclusion 247 Glossary 255 Bibliography 257 1 Abstract Most previous scholarship has asserted that the Qing Empire neglected the sea and underestimated the worldwide rise of Western powers in the long eighteenth century. By the time the British crushed the Chinese navy in the so-called Opium Wars, the country and its government were in a state of shock and incapable of quickly catching-up with Western Europe. In contrast with such a narrative, this dissertation shows that the Great Qing was in fact far more aware of global trends than has been commonly assumed. Against the backdrop of the long eighteenth century, the author explores the fundamental historical notions of the Chinese maritime world as a conceptual divide between an inner and an outer sea, whereby administrators, merchants, and intellectuals paid close and intense attention to coastal seawaters. Drawing on archival sources from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the West, the author argues that the connection between the Great Qing and the maritime world was complex and sophisticated.

Chung A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY CALGARY, ALBERTA SEPTEMBER, 2013 © Chris Chung 2013 Abstract Four archipelagos in the South China Sea are territorially disputed: the Paracel, Spratly, and Pratas Islands, and Macclesfield Bank. The People’s Republic of China and Republic of China’s claims are embodied by a nine-dashed U-shaped boundary line originally drawn in an official Chinese map in 1948, which encompasses most of the South China Sea. Neither side has clarified what the line represents. Using ancient Chinese maps and texts, archival documents, relevant treaties, declarations, and laws, this thesis will conclude that it is best characterized as an islands attribution line, which centres the claim simply on the islands and features themselves.

  • 11.13.2020 CHINA | Concerns Remain for Detained Activist
    11.13.2020 CHINA | Concerns Remain for Detained Activist CSW has reiterated calls for the release of detained Chinese human rights defender Zhang Zhan, amid continued concerns for her health and well-being. Nov. 14 will mark six months since Zhang, a Christian and former lawyer, was detained by Chinese authorities. Zhang had travelled to Wuhan, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak, in early February, from where she posted videos and articles about the COVID-19 outbreak on Twitter and YouTube, both of which are blocked in China, and other social media platforms. She was taken away from her hotel room in Wuhan by Shanghai police on May 14 and has been detained the Pudong District Detention Centre in Shanghai ever since. In October, CSW reported that Zhang had been on a hunger strike in protest of her detention since the beginning of summer, with staff at the detention center force-feeding her as she refused to eat or drink anything. Recent reports indicate that Zhang remains on hunger strike, and there are serious fears for health and wellbeing. Additionally, CSW sources report that Zhang’s lawyer Wen Yu, who was only able to meet with her in September, is no longer responsible for her case. The reasons for this are unclear. CSW’s Founder President Mervyn Thomas said, “Once again CSW calls for the immediate and unconditional release of Zhang Zhan, who has now been detained for six months solely for reporting information of public concern. We are deeply concerned for Zhang’s health, and at reports that her lawyer has left her case.

  • The History and Context of Chinese-Western Intercultural Marriage in Modern and Contemporary China (From 1840 to the 21St Century)
    The History And Context Of Chinese-Western Intercultural Marriage In Modern And Contemporary China (From 1840 To The 21st Century) Australian wife Margaret and her Chinese husband Quong Tart and their three eldest children, 1894. Source: Tart McEvoy papers, Society of Australian Genealogists 1.1 Brief Introduction It is now becoming more and more common to see Chinese-Western intercultural couples in China and other countries. In the era of the global village, intercultural marriage between different races and nationalities is frequent. It brings happiness, but also sorrow, as there are both understandings and misunderstandings, as well as conflicts and integrations. With the reform of China and the continuous development, and improvement of China’s reputation internationally, many aspects of intercultural marriage have changed from ancient to contemporary times in China. Although marriage is a very private affair for the individuals who participate in it, it also reflects and connects with many complex factors such as economic development, culture differences, political backgrounds and transition of traditions, in both China and the Western world. As a result, an ordinary marriage between a Chinese person and a Westerner is actually an episode in a sociological grand narrative. This paper reviews the history of Chinese-Western marriage in modern China from 1840 to 1949, and it reveals the history of the earliest Chinese marriages to Westerners at the beginning of China’s opening up. More Chinese men married Western wives at first, while later unions between Chinese wives and Western husbands outnumbered these. Four types of CWIMs in modern China were studied. Both Western and Chinese governments’ policies and attitudes towards Chinese-Western marriages in this period were also studied.

  • China's Response to the Coronavirus Pandemic: Fighting Two Enemies
    China’s Response to the Coronavirus Pandemic: Fighting Two Enemies Eva Pils 2020-05-25T13:03:57 Autocratic crisis management as model? In many countries around the world, the coronavirus outbreak may have increased the risk of democratic retrogression, as a result of proto-autocratic emergency responses to the public health crises unfolding in their societies. In China, autocracy is already well-entrenched. From the perspective of the Chinese Communist Party, indeed, its handling of the pandemic has been a global model teaching us that China’s governance system is better suited to deal with crises than liberal democracies with their complex constraints on emergency powers. But the reality of China’s coronavirus experience raises distinctive legal-political concerns. The Party has used its vast and concentrated power to fight not only the virus, but also domestic critics of its response, including medical professionals, journalists, human rights activists, a constitutional law professor, and citizens simply speaking up via the social media because they were engaged, or enraged, or both. The fight against one of these ‘enemies’, inevitably, has affected that against the other. To understand this correlation, it is necessary to recall how China’s public health emergency unfolded. It is now believed that the global coronavirus crisis started in November 2019, when the first infections were recorded in Wuhan, an 11 million city in Hubei Province, central China. As the dangerous nature of the new disease unfolded in the following weeks, local and central authorities came under rising pressure to acknowledge the problem; but instead, they suppressed its discussion by healthcare workers even after taking some initial measures to contain and study the outbreak.
