    Vol.29 | Representations of Autism in Asia

    There are very few healthy representations of disability in our entertainment media, and particularly few of autism. In films and TV shows, autism has been stereotyped to a significant degree, which damages our social understanding of this neurological condition. Dr. Jessica Hatrick joins us in the lab to discuss the K-Drama ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’, and why this unusual Korean series offers a seminal representation of autism today. Jessica explains how the series is very important to autistic viewers, and why its central female character is groundbreaking in the portrayal of autism in Asia today. Jessica is a strong believer in the need for social justice and argues that having an accurate and balanced representation in our media is a very important way to achieve this. Join Mary and Derek in the lab as they discuss Jessica’s publication “Extraordinary Attorney Woo is the autism representation we need: Gen-MZ's engagement with Korea's first autistic lawyer”published in the Volume ‘Mediating Sex, Gender, and Sexual Identity in the Gen Z Era’. 荧幕中的自闭症形象：被看见，还是被定义？ 在影视娱乐作品中，残障群体的形象呈现正日益受到关注。影视作品在塑造自闭症角色时，既可能呈现出多样化的性格特征与能力，也可能倾向于采用某些较为固定的形象模式，而这些呈现方式会在很大程度上影响公众对自闭症的认知与理解。 本期Beyond the Books播客，我们邀请了来自国际传播系的Jessica Hatrick博士，她的一项研究聚焦2022年播出的一部韩国电视剧 《非常律师禹英禑》，批判性地分析剧中对自闭症谱系障碍的呈现方式，重点探讨其在塑造公众认知、增进对自闭症人士的理解与共情方面所发挥的作用。   | 收听方式 | 你可以在小宇宙、苹果播客、喜马拉雅、YouTube、Spotify等平台收听我们的节目。 | 参与人员 | 本期嘉宾：Dr Jessica Hatrick博士 （传播与媒体研究讲师） 本期主持：Dr Mary Ainslie （媒体与文化研究副教授），Prof Derek Irwin (应用语言学教授) 后期制作：Dr Richard Frenneaux （国际传播学助理教授），张珂婷 （国际传播学校友）   | 关注我们 | 微信公众号：宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院FHSS 小红书：宁诺人文社科学院FHSS Bilibili视频号：宁诺人文社科学院 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿

    Vol.28 | Attitudes to Meat-eating in China

    China is now the greatest meat producer and consumer by total volume in the world today. Within a single generation, meat has shifted from an occasional treat to an everyday staple, marking a significant nutritional shift tied to rising incomes. Yet animal agriculture accounts for the largest share of food-production emissions and so rising meat consumption complicates climate action. Will China’s meat consumption keep rising?   Dr. Tracey Fallon from the School of International Studies joins Mary and Derek in the lab to discuss Tracey’s publication “Meating Global China at Home” published in the Routledge Handbook of Global China. Listen as we discuss some of the issues and cultural currents around meat consumption and its reduction in China today. 读懂全球中国，先看你碗里的肉 说到吃肉，很多中国人的记忆里，它从来不只是一类食物。从逢年过节才舍得端上桌的珍馐，到如今外卖软件里随手可点的日常——肉，是几代中国人关于“生活变好”最真切的注脚。在全球化的今天，餐桌上越来越多的肉类，早已不局限于饮食文化，还牵动着全球气候、国际贸易与复杂的国内政策。 本期 Beyond the Books 播客，我们邀请到Tracey Fallon博士，依托她发表的文章《肉食里的全球中国》，与我们一起探讨 “肉化”（ meatification） 现象如何嵌入中国社会发展叙事，以及在全球化背景下中国人的肉食需求带来的连锁效应。   | 收听方式 | 你可以在小宇宙、苹果播客、喜马拉雅、YouTube、Spotify等平台收听我们的节目。 | 参与人员 | 本期嘉宾：Dr. Tracey Fallon 博士 （国际研究助理教授） 本期主持：Dr Mary Ainslie （媒体与文化研究副教授），Prof Derek Irwin (应用语言学教授) 后期制作：Dr Richard Frenneaux （国际传播学助理教授），张珂婷 （国际传播学校友）   | 关注我们 | 微信公众号：宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院FHSS 小红书：宁诺人文社科学院FHSS Bilibili视频号：宁诺人文社科学院 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿

    Vol.26 | Historical Rice Farming and Cooperative Behavior

    Suqin Ge is Professor of Economics and has come all the way from Virginia Tech in the USA. Taking time out from running the Center for Future Work Places and Practices, Prof. Suqin Ge joins us to discuss her article“Reaping What You Sow: Historical Rice Farming and Contemporary Cooperative Behavior in China”published in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization. While China is often described as a collective society, Prof. Suqin Ge explains how such practices can be traced to the cooperative behavior demanded by intensive agricultural labour. In particular, Prof. Suqin’s data explores how historicrice-farming communities engendered cooperation and kinship, traits that have continued and evolved long after such farming practices ended. She explains how it is often through studying these historical economic practices that we can explain the social organisation of today. Join us to learn about the historical economic formation of modern China. 水稻种植如何塑造了中国人的互助精神？ 说到中国社会，人们常说它重集体、讲合作、强调互助与关系。你是否想过这种国民性格不仅仅是文化使然，也是历史经济结构长期塑造的结果？本期节目，我们邀请到美国弗吉尼亚理工大学经济学教授葛苏勤，以严谨学术研究为依据，带我们一起探索稻作文明如何塑造中国人的合作基因，以及这种古老传统如何持续影响当代社会。 | 收听方式 | 你可以在小宇宙、苹果播客、喜马拉雅、YouTube、Spotify等平台收听我们的节目。 | 参与人员 | 本期嘉宾：葛苏勤教授 （弗吉尼亚理工大学经济学教授） 本期主持：Dr Mary Ainslie （媒体与文化研究副教授），Prof Derek Irwin (应用语言学教授) 后期制作：Dr Richard Frenneaux （国际传播学助理教授），张珂婷 （国际传播学学生） | 关注我们 | 微信公众号：宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院FHSS 小红书：宁诺人文社科学院FHSS Bilibili视频号：宁诺人文社科学院 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿

    Vol.25 | Diplomacy of Whataboutism and US Foreign Policy

    Many high-level political debates today tend to include the words “but, what about…?”, now a favorite phrase by leading political actors around the globe. Known as “whataboutism”, this recognized phenomenon is often the cause of many explanations, justifications, clarifications and reasoning, and continues to be a key part of political discourse. Dr. Wilfred Chow joins us from the School of International Studies to discuss his publication "The Diplomacy of Whataboutism and US Foreign Policy Attitudes" in the journal ‘International Organization’. Join Mary and Derek as they discuss “whataboutism” and its important, yet also problematic, role in international relations. 国际关系中的“那又怎么说主义”在国际政治辩论的舞台上，我们常常会听到这样的经典句式：“你指责我做了A，但你们当年不也做了B吗？”面对批评时，不直接回应指控，而是反问“那…又怎么说？”的话术, 在全球外交中屡见不鲜。它有一个专属名词 --- Whataboutism （那又怎么说主义）。 但它真的只是一种幼稚的言语反击吗？这背后究竟隐藏着怎样的政治逻辑？本期Beyond the Books 播客，我们邀请到宁波诺丁汉大学国际事务与国际关系学系的助理教授WilfredChow博士。他将从政治学与国际关系的视角出发，结合其发表于国际顶级期刊 《国际组织》的硬核研究《Whataboutism外交与美国对外政策态度》，带领我们深入剖析这一现象。 | 收听方式 | 你可以在小宇宙、苹果播客、喜马拉雅、YouTube、Spotify等平台收听我们的节目。 | 参与人员 | 本期嘉宾：Wilfred Chow 博士 （国际事务与国际关系学助理教授） 本期主持：Dr Mary Ainslie （媒体与文化研究副教授），Prof Derek Irwin (应用语言学教授) 后期制作：Dr Richard Frenneaux （国际传播学助理教授），张珂婷 （国际传播学学生） | 关注我们 | 微信公众号：宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院FHSS 小红书：宁诺人文社科学院FHSS Bilibili视频号：宁诺人文社科学院 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿

    Vol. 24 | Disability and Identity in Modern China

    In today’s modern China, disabled people have much to teach us about how to face challenges in everyday life. This unique perspective has been explored by Prof. Sarah Dauncey, our first guest from the University of Nottingham UK. Sarah has been visiting and studying China for over 30 years and has pioneered a new field relating to disability in modern Chinese culture. An underexplored area of study, Sarah’s work has focused on the development of new ways of understanding disability in anon-Western context. In this episode, Sarah joins us to discuss her British Academy-funded project entitled 'Disabled but not Useless: Disability and Identity in Modern Chinese Literature and Culture', which focuses on key figures whose lives and works have influenced the way in which disabled people are viewed and view themselves in the post-reform era. The results of this project were published in her 2020groundbreaking monograph ‘Disability in China: Citizenship, Identity and Culture’, by Cambridge University Press. 现代中国文学与文化中对残障身份的再呈现 本期节目，我们邀请到来自英国诺丁汉大学的Sarah Dauncey教授，带来她历时多年的研究项目 ——《现代中国文学与文化中的残障与身份》。该研究聚焦于一些关键人物，分析他们的生活和作品如何影响社会公众对残障人士的看法，以及残障人士的自我认知。这一研究成果发表于她的专著《中国的残障：公民身份、身份与文化》中，由剑桥大学出版社出版。SarahDauncey教授从电影、文学作品、纪录片中，梳理出1949年以来中国残障人群体的身份演变，提出全新理论“准公民身份”，重新诠释残障人士在社会中的归属与认同。 | 收听方式 | 你可以在小宇宙、苹果播客、喜马拉雅、YouTube、Spotify等平台收听我们的节目。 | 参与人员 | 本期嘉宾：Sarah Dauncey教授 本期主持：Dr Mary Ainslie （媒体与文化研究副教授），Prof Derek Irwin (应用语言学教授) 后期制作：Dr Richard Frenneaux （国际传播学助理教授），张珂婷 （国际传播学学生） | 关注我们 | 微信公众号：宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院FHSS 小红书：宁诺人文社科学院FHSS Bilibili视频号：宁诺人文社科学院 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿

    Vol.23 | Clean Energy Investment - how to do it properly

    The movement towards clean energy is gathering pace, as countries and companies around the globe work towards making our planet safer and livable for all. One big part of such a change is encouraging investment and introducing legislation, yet these policies can vary significantly in different places. While clear energy is a noble endeavor, the complex reality of the many uncoordinated efforts makes this movement very different in terms of impact, and can even end up hindering efforts. For this episode, Dr. Jingong Huang from the School of Economics drops into the Lab to talk about his research into clean energy policies around the world. Jingong demonstrates how ad hoc policies may be ineffective at lessening global emissions, and argues that a coordinated international policy framework is required to stop pollution. 为什么“绿色投资”未必带来全球减排？ 当一个国家大力投资清洁能源、不断收紧环保政策时，我们可能会理所当然地认为，这一定有助于减少全球碳排放。但现实真的如此吗？在本期节目中，一项来自经济学研究的发现，恰恰对这一看似合理的直觉提出了挑战。 恰逢1 月 26 日世界清洁能源日，我们邀请到宁波诺丁汉大学经济系副教授黄锦塨博士，从经济学视角出发，结合自己发表于《能源经济学》的研究，带领我们重新思考清洁能源投资与全球减排之间的复杂关系。 | 收听方式 | 你可以在小宇宙、苹果播客、喜马拉雅、YouTube、Spotify等平台收听我们的节目。 | 参与人员 | 本期嘉宾：黄锦塨 博士（经济学副教授） 本期主持：Dr Mary Ainslie （媒体与文化研究副教授），Prof Derek Irwin (应用语言学教授) 后期制作：Dr Richard Frenneaux （国际传播学助理教授），张珂婷 （国际传播学学生） | 关注我们 | 微信公众号：宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院FHSS 小红书：宁诺人文社科学院FHSS Bilibili视频号：宁诺人文社科学院 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿

    Vol.22|Exploring Distant Ancestors through Paleoanthropology

    This week, Beyond the Books is visited by an academic heavyweight! Professor Laura Bishop is a Professor of Paleoanthropology and has a wealth of experience exploring ancient sites around the world. One of these sites is atNyayanga in modern day Kenya, where there is evidence of an early Hominid presence from between 2 and 3 million years ago. Laura cautions that we can never be too sure about life so far back in time and explains how her research is part of putting together a wider puzzle to explain the lives of our distant ancestors. Through better understanding such a past, we can draw new conclusions about our own existence and what it means to be human. Join Mary and Derek as they welcome Laura to the Lab and hear about her research in the published article Expanded geographic distribution and dietary strategies of the earliest Oldowan hominins and Paranthropus in the journal Science. 远古回响：古人类学漫谈Laura Bishopi教授是一位古人类学教授，拥有在世界各地探索古代遗址的丰富经验。本期播客，我们将深入探讨Laura Bishop教授与团队发表于《科学》期刊的重要研究《奥杜韦文化时期地理分布的拓展及古人类和傍人的饮食策略》，探究非洲大地上的那些沉默的石器与骨骼背后蕴含着的有关远古人类适应环境、开拓生存空间的壮阔历程。 长期以来科学家们认为“奥杜韦石器是由现代人类的直系祖先直立人制造和使用”， 而肯尼亚尼亚扬加遗址的发现揭示了早在约300万年前，早期人类开始使用工具准备食物，并将奥杜韦石器遗址范围扩大了1300余公里。这里不仅出土了与埃塞俄比亚奥杜韦石器工艺相当的精细石器，还发现了目前已知最古老的傍人臼齿化石，证明傍人可能是这些石器真正的制造和使用者。最早的奥杜韦工具制作者究竟掌握了怎样的技术能力？他们如何利用这些工具处理包括河马在内的大型动物资源？傍人属的牙齿化石又为我们揭示了怎样的饮食结构？地理范围的扩展是否意味着更复杂的社会行为？ Laura Bishop教授提醒我们，对于如此遥远历史时期的生活，我们永远无法百分之百确定；她还解释了她的研究是如何拼凑一个更宏大谜题的一部分，旨在揭示我们远古祖先的生活图景。通过更好地理解过去，我们才能对自己的存在以及“何以为人”的真正含义得出新的结论。 | 收听方式 | 你可以在小宇宙、苹果播客、喜马拉雅、YouTube、Spotify等平台收听我们的节目。 | 参与人员 | 本期嘉宾：Prof Laura Bishop（古人类学教授） 本期主持：Dr Mary Ainslie （媒体与文化研究副教授），Prof Derek Irwin (应用语言学教授) 后期制作：Dr Richard Frenneaux （国际传播学助理教授），张珂婷 （国际传播学学生） | 关注我们 | 微信公众号：宁波诺丁汉大学人文社科学院FHSS 小红书：宁诺人文社科学院FHSS Bilibili视频号：宁诺人文社科学院 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿
