> Announcement ID: 184107
>
> III ENIUGH Kongress
>
> Every three years ENIUGH organizes the European Congress in World and
> Global History. Since the inaugural congress in 2005 it has developed into
> an outstanding meeting place for scholars in the fast developing fields of
> world, global and transnational history and the adjacent disciplines. The
> number of participants has increased steadily, and the success of the
> congress can be explained, among other factors, by its openness both to
> young and experienced scholars alike. It has become a forum for
> researchers to present and discuss their latest findings as well as to
> inform each other about new organisational patterns in the fields of
> teaching and research. It offers information and expertise on
> undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as PhD-programmes and provides
> the opportunity to develop emerging research agendas in transnational
> teams and to get the latest news about European and various national
> funding schemes.
>
> The third congress will take place 14 to 17 April 2011, in London, at the
> London School of Economics and Political Science, which has been among the
> pioneering institutions in research, teaching and journal-publication in
> global history. The congress theme of 'Comparisons and Connections' is
> meant to be both generic and specific. It is intended to be generic enough
> to attract participants from all the overlapping approaches which share a
> commitment to transcend national historiographies, whether under such
> headings as (to give only an incomplete list) 'world' or 'global' history,
> 'transnational' history, or histoire croisée. To judge from the nearly
> ninety panels accepted for the congress, this aim has been achieved. The
> theme is also specific, in that 'comparisons and connections' encapsulates
> a (broad) agenda shared by many scholars around the world concerned with
> global or transnational history.
>
> The range of themes will focus on different themes, include the
> entanglements between polities, societies, communities and individuals
> 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).

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.
