[CMS] Legacy of Biodiversity: Dr. Emmett R. Easton’s Specimen Donation Ceremony (11 December 2024)

2025-01-10T00:00:39+08:00

Dr. Emmett R. Easton is a former professor at UEA/UM. In the 1990s, he collected a significant number of specimens from the wild environment of Macao while researching at UM. Before leaving UM, Dr. Easton had donated a few hundred of the specimens to UM Library. He continued his academic career in the USA and retired a while ago. He would like to contribute the collection to the Centre for Macau Studies (CMS) of UM.

The specimens, meticulously collected over decades, offer a unique glimpse into the historical biodiversity of Macao. They include species that may no longer exist in the region, providing essential data for understanding ecological changes over time. This historical perspective is crucial for developing conservation strategies and understanding the impacts of environmental changes on local ecosystems.

The collection is considered important for understanding the historical ecology of Macao as recognized by Prof Leong Chi Man, adjunct assistant professor at CMS. This collection will significantly enhance the academic resources available to the CMS and UM, supporting research and education in entomology.

The specimens will be stored at University of Macau Library. The specimens will be used for research, educational purposes, and exhibitions to enrich public knowledge about Macao’s ecological history and biodiversity.

CMS： “The 123 Incident: Macau, the Cultural Revolution, and the 1960s World” Seminar (2023/06/14)

2023-07-20T15:23:23+08:00

Centre for Macau Studies will hold the seminar “The 123 Incident: Macau, the Cultural Revolution, and the 1960s World” on 14 June, 2023.

UM students and staff are welcome to attend. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Overview

Title:

The 123 Incident: Macau, the Cultural Revolution, and the 1960s World

Presenters:

Prof. Cathryn H. Clayton, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Her first book, Sovereignty at the Edge: Macau and the Question of Chineseness, won the Francis L.K. Hsu prize for best new book on East Asia from the Society for East Asian Anthropology of the American Anthropological Association.

Seminar

Abstract:

Macau’s 123 Incident in 1966-67 is best known as a side-show to the Cultural Revolution, a piece of local history whose main significance is as a precursor to the far more violent Hong Kong “disturbances” six months later. In this paper, I argue that a bigger story is needed. Based on decades of oral history and archival research in collaboration with Dr. Agnes Lam of the University of Macau, this project argues that the 123 Incident cannot be understood without reference to Macau’s position at the intersection of multiple contradictory but overlapping global projects in the post-war world. Adopting a multi-scalar framework, I examine how particular combinations of institutions and individuals, interests and ideologies, understandings and misunderstandings—local, regional, national and transnational—came together in the 123 Incident to produce an effect that was at once intensely local and profoundly global. Such an approach can provide new perspectives not just on the 123 Incident, but also on the Cultural Revolution as a global event.
