Carole McGranahan, Talk on Self-Immolation in Tibet at Harvard University.

A talk by Carole McGranahan from the University of Colorado-Boulder Harvard University, April 11th, 2014 @ 6:30pm On Saturday, March 30th, 2014, a 31-year old Tibetan nun in eastern Tibet (Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province) set her body on fire to protest Chinese rule. She is the 130th confirmed report of a self-immolation in Tibet since 2009. This unprecedented wave of self-immolation protests by Tibetans has shocked the international community, outraged Chinese authorities and simultaneously devastated and united the Tibetan community worldwide. This lecture will focus on the information, stories, and history behind the self-immolations and Tibetan resistance to Chinese rule. Carole McGranahan, a specialist in the history and culture of Tibet and the Himalayan region, is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Colorado. She is the author of Arrested Histories: Tibet, the CIA, and Memories of a Forgotten War (Duke University Press, 2010). She is also co-editor, with Ann Laura Stoler and Peter C. Perdue of Imperial Formations (School of American Research Press, 2007), a volume that explores colonialism and empire outside of Europe. With Ann Armbrecht Forbes, she co-wrote the first report on development in Tibet: Developing Tibet?: A Survey of International Development Projects (Cultural Survival and the International Campaign for Tibet, 1992). Her current writing projects include a study of the Pangdatsang family, the leading Tibetan traders in the early 20th century, including a reconsideration of British empire via Tibet, and further works on the Tibetan resistance army. Her newest research focuses on concepts and practices of citizenship in the global Tibetan refugee diaspora.
