Dear Students and Colleagues,

On Sunday we go back to the bargaining table in one last attempt to reach a deal before we strike.  We do this on the heels of receiving support from our tenured colleagues and students who have committed in overwhelming numbers to strike with us.  We are intrigued to see that just as we are about to strike, the administration is suddenly beginning to make more serious proposals to improve the lives of contingent faculty. We should note that every single item the administration has proposed we have had to fight for, tooth and nail. While this represents two years of hard volunteer work from contingent faculty, the college has spent hundreds of thousands of student tuition dollars trying to prevent us from winning what they put in their latest proposal.

Confucianism has a lot to teach us about global order. During its transition from the Zhou to Qin dynasties (770 B.C.E. to 221 B.C.E), China faced issues of national identity and international relations much like the issues early modern Europeans were to face centuries later. In response, early Confucians developed a model of global political order known as “tian xia.” In this talk, I will argue that an updated version of this model is not only possible, but in fact is superior to both nation-state and cosmopolitan models of governance.
