SUMMARY:Gender-Differential Effects of Terrorism on Education: The Case of the Punjab Insurgency 1981-1993
DESCRIPTION:This study explores the long-run effect of the 1981-1993 Punjab Insurgency on the educational attainment of adults who were between ages 6-16 years at the time of the insurgency. To examine the long-term effect of the insurgency on education\, we use a large scale cross-sectional dataset – the 2005 India Human Development Survey. To explore the channels through which the conflict affected education\, we use a unique historical dataset on the annual expenditure decisions by farmers (farm account surveys) for Punjab during 1978-1989. We combine both datasets with the annual district level data on major terrorist incidents from the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP). We find a substantial and statistically significant effect of terrorism on educational attainment by girls who were of school age during the conflict. We also identify the impact of terrorism at the household level. Households that had high ratios of girls to boys and who resided in the districts that experienced terrorist events\, had reduced the amount of educational expenditures. This finding suggests that this reduction was one of the channels through which conflict affected education. \nPrakarsh Singh is Assistant Professor of Economics at Amherst College\, Massachusetts. His research falls into three main categories in development economics: a. Performance Incentives in Public Health to target Child Malnutrition; b. Causes and Consequences of Conflict\, particularly civil wars; c. Teaching Development Economics. He has written and published widely in all three areas. A sampling of his recent work can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/prakarshsinghac/research.

SUMMARY:Sikh Rappers & Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nSikh hip-hop artists Baagi and Hoodini will explore facets of the immigrant and minority experience in multicultural America\, in an evening of music\, poetry and collective discussion. The evening will touch on topics such as race relations and social inequalities in today’s complex society. Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nBaagi\n“Babbey nu Kanna\, Gaggay nu Bihari.” In spelling the word “Baagi\,” the celebration of a rebellious Punjabi heritage is reborn. Baagi is one of the few artists to rap exclusively in Panjabi. Born and raised in Bombay until moving to Los Angeles in his early teens\, Baagi brings a unique perspective both to Hip-Hop and to the evolution of Punjabi culture. A childhood passion for composing Punjabi poetry coupled with his love for Hip-Hop eventually turned an after-school hobby into a career of expression. This artist uses Farsi\, Hindi and Panjabi vocabulary to add a new voice to the musical conglomerate. Baagi uses his platform to paint pictures of social issues\, easygoing personal anecdotes\, and day-to-day experiences\, as seen through the lens of a young man influenced by the intersections of many worlds. Professor Navdeep Dhillon writes\, “I am looking to forward to seeing what else he comes up with and remain optimistic that he will be the breath of fresh air for Punjabi music\, both in Punjab and overseas…” Baagi has performed extensively throughout North America and has collaborated with renowned Punjabi artists such as Nishawn Bhullar and Tigerstyle. His debut album\, titled Baagi Di Vaari\, is available for free download at http://beabaagi.bandcamp.com. You can follow him on Twitter @BaagiMedia. \nHoodini\nHoodini\, also known as Hoodeez the Hindoo\, has been hailed as “one of the most lyrical and charismatic emcees of South Asian descent” by critics. The poet and Hip-Hop artist combines witty wordplay\, lyrical agility\, and keen storytelling to present a novel narrative to his audience with natural ease. Born and raised in Los Angeles to immigrant parents from Punjab\, Hoodini shares the experiences of a young man trying to find his way in an increasingly complex society. He is both participator and observer\, analytical of the world around him while reporting on it with humor and abandon. In listening to a Hoodini record\, you may easily find yourself migrating from a commentary on issues of race relations to a jaunty reminiscence of a past love interest\, often within the same verse. Hoodeez has released four studio albums to date and has shared the stage with notable Hip-Hop artists including Blu\, Pacific Division\, Skeme\, and RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. You can keep up with his latest works at http://HoodiniDidIt.com and on Twitter @HoodiniDidIt. \nDirections & Parking\nClick here for directions\, parking info\, and maps. \nJoin the Conversation:\nClick here for a recap of the event from the Division of Social Sciences.\n \nFacebook\n#ihrevents \n\n  \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \n  \nEVENT VIDEO: \n  \nSikh Rappers from IHR on Vimeo.

SUMMARY:Johanna Ogden: "Mutiny in Oregon: Early Twentieth Century East Indian Radicals and the Birth of the Ghadar Party"
DESCRIPTION:The Hindustani Association of the Pacific Coast\, better known as the Ghadar Party\, was a game-changing development in Indian history. Ghadarites called for and attempted the overthrow of British colonial rule in India during WWI\, seeking a caste-free\, secular and independent Indian nation. Ghadar was overwhelmingly initiated by and composed of Sikh laborers from the North American West and became a worldwide movement drawn from people of all castes and religions. San Francisco was home to the movement’s public office and its weekly newspaper\, Ghadar\, and has often been logged as the movement’s birthplace\, especially by historians of the North American West. But remote Astoria\, Oregon holds this distinction. Drawing on Indian historical accounts\, oral histories and Oregon archival materials\, Ms. Ogden both repopulates the East Indian community in Oregon and traces reasons for and key moments in Ghadar’s seemingly unlikely genesis there. Her larger interest\, however\, is exploring the dis-remembering of East Indians in Oregon and the window it provides into the targeting of Arabs\, Muslims and South Asians in post-9/11 America. \nJohanna Ogden is an independent historian and activist from Oregon. In 2013 she initiated and was the consulting historian for Astoria’s two-day Ghadar Party Centenary Commemoration and in 2014 participated in an international conference on Ghadar in Chandigarh\, Punjab. Her most recent publications include the award-winning “Ghadar\, Historical Silences & Notions of Belonging” Oregon Historical Quarterly\, Summer 2012; “Ghadar’s Oregon Roots\,” The Ghadar Movement: Background\, Ideology\, Action and Legacies (Punjabi Uni: 2013). She is presently writing a book about Ghadar’s roots in Oregon for the University of Washington Press. \n\n  \n  \nEVENT PHOTOS: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

SUMMARY:1984 -- Beyond the Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years ago saw the culmination of increasing social conflict in Punjab\, a Sikh-majority state in India.

The perpetrators of state violence have not been brought to justice\, and the events of 1984 and after continue to cast a shadow on the people of the region. Prof. Rahuldeep Singh Gill of California Lutheran University (CLU) will speak about this history\, and how to move forward positively\, but without forgetting the past\, especially in the context of the Sikh diaspora in the US. Prof. Gill is Director of the Center for Equality and Justice at CLU.\nThe talk will be followed by an interactive discussion\, moderated by Prof. Nirvikar Singh\, Sarbjit Singh Aurora Chair of Sikh and Punjabi Studies at UCSC.
