SUMMARY:The Gospel of Work and Money: Global Histories of Industrial Education Virtual Working Group III
DESCRIPTION:April 15		\n\n					\n				 @ 			\n			\n				8:00 am			\n		\n									\n					 – 				\n			\n							\n					5:00 pm				\n			\n						 \n\n\nOn June 8\, 2021\, the Center for International and Regional Studies convened a third virtual working group under its research initiative on The Gospel of Work and Money: Global Histories of Industrial Education. During this paper workshop two chapter contributions were presented and discussed\, which received in-depth feedback from the group. \n\nDr. Bronwen Everill\, presented the first paper titled\, ““The Dignity of Labor”: Liberian Industrial Education in West Africa.” The chapter looks at the role of Liberia within West Africa\, as a site of educational innovation and the launch of US state-based missionary and educational enterprises. The author explores the close internal relationship between Liberia and Sierra Leonean and the use of education as a way of maintaining Liberian sovereignty. By the end of the 19th century\, Liberian engineers were training African workers for plantation labor\, domestic housework\, and for skilled and unskilled industrial labor in places as far away as German Togo\, British Nigeria\, and the Belgian Congo. At the start of the 20th century\, Liberians had become part of a mobile class of African engineers\, missionaries\, and educators spreading American values and ideas on the continent. The paper addressed the literature about Liberia and its use of education in their struggle for sovereignty and independence. The author argues that Liberians used whatever means at their disposal to ensure that Liberia was not incorporated into the British or French Empire\, by ensuring their effective control over and domination of the indigenous populations of Liberia. \n\nNext Dr. Helge Wendt presented his paper titled\, “Industrial-Technological Education in Spanish America during the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century.” The paper provides a comparative study of early industrial education schools in five Latin American countries i.e. Chile\, Argentina\, Mexico\, Cuba\, and Colombia. These schools of Arts and Trades were opened in the 19th century with the goal of training young men\, and later young women\, in practical and technical fields of production. The author states that the history of industrial education in these countries can be divided into different initiatives related to higher education\, primary education\, professional training\, and further training. In this comparative study\, Wendt wants to understand the school foundations and subsequent reforms in their local\, inter-local\, national and international contexts. School regulations\, teachers and student recruitments play a special role in the analysis of the different developments. Also\, connections of the school with the existing school system and the hopes for stimuli for the economic activity in the respective country will be studied. \n\nThe third paper workshop for the project is scheduled for the end of June\, in which three scholars will present their draft papers and receive commentary. \n\n\nFor the meeting agenda\, click here.\n\n\n\nFor the participants’ biographies\, click here.\n\n\n\nFor the research initiative\, click here.\n\n\nParticipants and Discussants: \n\n\nMaram Al-Qershi\, CIRS – Georgetown University in Qatar\n\n\n\nDanya Al-Saleh\, University of Wisconsin–Madison\n\n\n\nHossein Ayazi\, Williams College\n\n\n\nZahra Babar\, CIRS – Georgetown University in Qatar\n\n\n\nJulia Bates\, Sacred Heart University\n\n\n\nMisba Bhatti\, CIRS – Georgetown University in Qatar\n\n\n\nOliver Charbonneau\, University of Glasgow\n\n\n\nBronwen Everill\, University of Cambridge\n\n\n\nArun Kumar\, University of Nottingham\n\n\n\nSuzi Mirgani\, CIRS – Georgetown University in Qatar\n\n\n\nDolf-Alexander Neuhaus\, Free Berlin University\n\n\n\nSarah Steinbock-Pratt\, University of Alabama\n\n\n\nKarine Walther\, Georgetown University in Qatar\n\n\n\nElizabeth Wanucha\, CIRS – Georgetown University in Qatar\n\n\n\nHelge Wendt\, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) Berlin\n\n\nArticle by Misba Bhatti\, Research Analyst at CIRS

SUMMARY:The Gospel of Work and Money: Global Histories of Industrial Education Virtual Working Group IV
DESCRIPTION:On June 29\, 2021\, the Center for International and Regional Studies (CIRS) convened the fourth virtual workshop under its research initiative on The Gospel of Work and Money: Global Histories of Industrial Education. During this paper workshop\, three project contributors presented their draft papers and received in-depth feedback from the group. \n\nDr. Arun Kumar initiated the discussion with the presentation of his paper titled\, “Christian Labour and the Cawnpore Mission Industrial School.” The chapter traces the history of the Cawnpore Mission Industrial School and examines the detailed relationship that Christian missionaries in India developed with labor and industries in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Cawnpore School belonged to the Society for the Propagation of Gospels in Foreign Parts (SPG)\, which was a missionary society of the Church of England and had a significant presence in the British Empire. The Cawnpore Industrial School along with providing special industrial courses trained Christian converts into industrious and useful workers and disciplined them to become modern workers. Kumar proposes to explore the industrial school’s mission\, which was an institution part of what Christian missionaries called ‘industrial mission/work’. The author argues that these schools were the practical results of the close nexus of colonial Christianity\, capitalism\, and native labor. Using the Cawnpore Mission Industrial School as a case study the author plans to unfold this argument through a local history of the school. \n\nDr. Mishal Khan and Zahra Babar presented the next paper titled\, “(Im)mobile and (Un)skilled: The Paradox of Technical Education and the Pakistani Migrant in the Gulf.” In this chapter\, the authors situate contemporary forms of labor migration within the longer history of capitalism connecting South Asia and the Gulf. Colonial era practices around the distribution and reallocation of labor and methods of disciplining and training docile workforces were rooted in particular racial imaginings and valuations of South Asian workers. Providing a case study of Pakistan’s current efforts to “upskill” their citizenry through technical education and thus enhance their chances for success in the Gulf\, the authors draw connections between the present and past marginalized role of the South Asian workers\, paying attention to the colonial and postcolonial policies and infrastructures that have maintained these valuations even while purporting to condemn them.  \n\nDr. Christine Whyte presented the last paper of the workshop\, titled\, ““He looks wistfully at shore”: empire\, slavery and the training of boys on-board the HMS Mars\, 1869-1929.” The article details the history and experiences of the children who were recruited to live and serve on-board the HMS Mars\, a certified industrial school “training ship” in Dundee\, Scotland. Dr. Whyte writes that the policy of confining destitute\, and criminally sentenced children to a residential training ship emerged from three different trends in Victorian Britain: carceral\, philanthropic\, and imperial. There is an interconnection between poverty\, criminalization\, and empire\, which can be seen in the function and form of the industrial school created in Britain and the creation and maintenance of a reformatory system of ‘training for empire’ which used criminally charged poor children as enforcers of imperial power globally. The chapter will attempt to uncover some of the carceral and imperial influences on industrial education for poor and homeless boys in Scotland. Dr. Whyte states that the paper will try to shed light on the experiences of the children that served on the ship\, the views of their parents\, as well as the home communities\, as these have remained obscure. \n\nThe next paper workshop for the project is scheduled to take place in July\, in which three additional contributors will present and discuss their draft papers. \n\nFor the meeting agenda\, click here.For the participants’ biographies\, click here.For the research initiative\, click here.\n\nParticipants and Discussants: \n\nMaram Al-Qershi\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarHossein Ayazi\, Williams CollegeZahra Babar\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarJulia Bates\, Sacred Heart UniversityMisba Bhatti\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarOliver Charbonneau\, University of GlasgowBronwen Everill\, University of CambridgeMishal Khan\, The University of Texas AustinArun Kumar\, University of NottinghamSuzi Mirgani\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarDolf-Alexander Neuhaus\, Free Berlin UniversitySarah Steinbock-Pratt\, University of AlabamaKarine Walther\, Georgetown University in QatarElizabeth Wanucha\, CIRS – Georgetown University in QatarHelge Wendt\, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) BerlinChristine Whyte\, University of Glasgow\n\nArticle by Misba Bhatti\, Research Analyst at CIRS
