Richard Eaton – Islam in India

source: Yale University 2016年12月5日
Richard Eaton is Professor of History at the University of Arizona. His research interests focus on the social and cultural history of medieval and early modern India (1000-1800), and especially on the range of interactions between Islamic and Indian cultures that took place at that time. He is also active in the growing subfield of world history, as well as comparative history. He has published monographs on the social roles of Sufis (Muslim mystics) in the Indian sultanate of Bijapur (1300-1700), on the growth of Islam in Bengal (1204-1760), and on the social history of the Deccan from 1300 to 1761. Most recently, he co-authored a monograph entitled Power, Memory, Architecture: Contested Sites on India's Deccan Plateau, 1300-1600. These four historical monographs employ as analytical tools, respectively, Weberian social thought, Annales School methodology, biography, and architecture.
He is also the recipient of multiple book awards including the Albert Hourani Book Award for the best book in Middle Eastern Studies and the A. K. Coomaraswamy Book Award for the best book in South Asian Studies, as well as three film awards for his 2002 film on European contact with Asia entitled, “Through the Looking Glass.”

source: Talks at Google 2016年12月19日
Dr. Harrington’s research and teaching focuses on career management and work-life integration, the changing role of fathers, contemporary workforce management strategies and the leadership of organizational change. He is a frequent keynote speaker at professional conferences. He has published numerous journal articles, book chapters, and research reports and is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post. He is author of Career Management and Work/Life Integration: Using Self-Assessment to Navigate Contemporary Careers (Sage, 2007) and The New Dad, a 7-year long research study on the changing role on how fathers manage their career and parenting responsibilities. Brad’s research has been cited by hundreds of major media outlets including the New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, and The Washington Post. He has also appeared on CNN, Fox News, and National Public Radio.
Fathers today are more involved in childcare and housework, and they increasingly value work-life support at work. Understanding fatherhood trends can help us better develop workplace programs to recruit, retain, and engage men who are caregivers. During this talk, Dr. Brad Harrington (the Executive Director of the Boston College Center for Work & Family (CWF), a research professor in the Carroll School of Management and a faculty member in the University’s Capstone Program) will discuss findings from his research initiative on The New Dad, which examines the evolving roles and attitudes of working fathers.
