Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ning Leng, "Politicizing Business: How Firms Are Made to Serve the Party-State in China" (Cambridge, 2025)

Q: So to kick things off, why don't you give us an example of the kind of politicization that you're talking about?

Ning describes how the Chinese state demands political services from companies, citing the example of a controversial infrastructure project in Qingdao where officials prioritized visibility over practicality.

Ian Smith, "Black Shakespeare: Reading and Misreading Race" (Cambridge UP, 2022)

Q: What is systemic whiteness?

Systemic whiteness refers to the biases and preferences embedded in institutions and systems that shape societal norms and prejudices towards race.

Florian Wagner, "Colonial Internationalism and the Governmentality of Empire, 1893–1982" (Cambridge UP, 2022)

Q: How did the ICI involve itself with the professionalization of the colonial administrator class?

The ICI established new colonial training schools, exchanged curricula, and aimed to prepare administrators who could speak local languages and respect local cultures.

Florian Wagner, "Colonial Internationalism and the Governmentality of Empire, 1893–1982" (Cambridge UP, 2022)

Q: Can you explain the founding and origins of the ICI?

In 1893, colonial experts from France and the Netherlands met to institutionalize their already existing exchange of knowledge on colonization, culminating in the establishment of the ICI.

Florian Wagner, "Colonial Internationalism and the Governmentality of Empire, 1893–1982" (Cambridge UP, 2022)

Q: What accounts for the relative invisibility of the ICI in the historiography of European colonialism?

Wagner suggests historians have primarily focused on national perspectives of colonialism rather than international networks, leading to the ICI's historical oversight.
