• On Tuesday, February 15, at 7 pm is The End of the Village: Planning the Urbanization of Rural China. Nick R. Smith’s recently published book, The End of the Village: Planning the Urbanization of Rural China, explores the contested implementation of a radical new approach to urbanization in the municipality of Chongqing.

• On Thursday, February 17, at 12 pm is Violence, Politics, and the Graphic Novel. Image-text forms—like comics, caricatures, etc.—have long been a venue for depicting historical violence in wartime propaganda or in stand-out examples like Francisco Goya’s woodcuts. Since Art Spiegelman first made waves with Maus, graphic novels have become an important venue for representing historical violence. This panel brings together several eminent specialists in comic and graphic novels studies and French and Comparative Literature.
• On Thursday, February 17, at 6 pm is Indigenous Futures. This will be a Q&A panel event with four Indigenous climate activists, which will focus on Indigenous perspectives on climate change and create a space where Indigenous voices are centered within the climate conversation. Right now, Indigenous communities protect 80% of the world’s biodiversity, and Indigenous technologies are used in climate adaptation efforts; however, Indigenous activists are seldom given the same platforms and support as white activists. 
• On Friday, February 18, at 12:30 pm is Feminist Anthropologies in Mexico.
