Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry M. Paulson Jr. ’68 H’07 talks with Associate Professor of Government Jennifer Lind about the delicate power dynamics and future of relations between the western world and rising superpower China.
REGISTER
Henry M. Paulson, Jr. ’68 is a businessman, China expert, conservationist, and author. Dedicated to the advancement of free markets, environmental protection, the rule of law, and upholding the basic rights of democracy, Paulson served as the 74th Secretary of the Treasury under President George W. Bush, leading the nation’s response to the financial crisis of 2008. Paulson is founder and chairman of the Paulson Institute, a non-partisan "think and do tank" dedicated to fostering a U.S.-China relationship that serves to maintain global order in a rapidly evolving world. Paulson’s podcast, Straight Talk, features his conversations with prominent world leaders.
Jennifer Lind is Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth College, and a Faculty Associate at the Reischauer Institute for Japanese Studies at Harvard University. She is also a Research Associate in the Asia Programme and the Programme on US and the Americas at Chatham House in London. Professor Lind’s research focuses on the international security relations of East Asia, and US foreign policy toward the region. She is the author of Sorry States: Apologies in International Politics (Cornell University Press, 2008). Lind has also authored numerous scholarly articles in international relations journals, and writes for wider audiences in Foreign Affairs and National Interest. Lind holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In her current research she is writing a book on how countries rise to become great powers.
Curing Fracture: A Material Cancer
Fracture has long been deemed a “material cancer,” it is hard to tell when and where it will occur and is usually too late when we find it.
Join Dartmouth Engineering Professor Yan Li and learn about groundbreaking research on proactive predications of fracture in structures and biomaterials —and how a new material design framework is developing bio-inspired energy absorbing materials to prevent fracture and cyber-attacks during digital manufacturing.
Material examples include ceramic composites found in heating elements, metals in aircrafts, polymers used in medical implants and renewable energy storage devices. Unexpected material fracture not only leads to structural failure but can be life-threatening. From reactive learning of failures in different scenarios, a new material design approach is developed to populate a knowledge base that can be used for proactive fracture predictions in future material designs.

Yan Li, Ph.D.
Dr. Yan Li joined the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College in January 2020. Prior to that appointment, she was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at California State University, Long Beach from 2014 to 2019.
Dr. Li received her PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2014.
Dr. Li's primary research interests are in the area of mechanics of advanced materials involving multiscale/multiphysics modelling, integrated computational and experimental approaches for next generation material design, and application of material science and solid mechanics in advanced manufacturing.
She has worked on research projects supported by the US Army Research Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, NSF NH-BioMade Center, NSF CCMD (Center for Computational Materials Design) and collaborated with industry partners including Boeing, Gulfstream and GE.
Dr. Li is the recipient of ASME ORR Early Career Award in 2020; Best Paper Award of the 8th International Conference on Computational Methods in 2018; WAC Teaching Writing Fellow at Cal State Long Beach in 2017; Professors Around the World at Cal State Long Beach in 2016, and received multiple NSF travel awards for leadership and career development.
We are pleased to invite all dues-paying members to the DAASV Board Meeting. We will discuss the Club's budget and activities plan for 2021, present committee reports, and hear the latest news from the Hanover plain.
This meeting will be held via zoom. Registrants will receive the zoom link prior to the meeting.
MacArthur Fellow, legal scholar, and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed ’81 discusses the paradox of America’s historic commitment to freedom and its real history of slavery and racism with Associate Professor of History Julia Rabig.
Annette Gordon-Reed ’81 is a legal scholar and historian whose 2008 investigation of slavery in the American colonial period and the early American republic, The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family, won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize in history. In 2010, she was awarded the MacArthur “genius” Fellowship for her scholarship on Thomas Jefferson. In July 2020, she was named the Carl M. LoebUniversity Professor at Harvard University, its highest faculty honor. A descendant of enslaved people brought to Texas in the 1850s, Gordon-Reed interweaves American history with memoir in her searing chronicle, On Juneteenth. Reed served on Dartmouth’s Board of Trustees from 2010–2018.
Julia Rabig earned a Ph.D. in history from the University of Pennsylvania and completed post-doctoral fellowships at the Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African American Studies at the University of Rochester. She has also taught in the African American Studies Program at Boston University and in the Black Studies Department at Amherst College. "When and why do social movements coalesce to produce dramatic change? How are social movements institutionalized and what is gained and lost in that process? What happens in their aftermath? These are questions that animate my scholarship and teaching. My research encompasses African American history, urban and gender studies, and globalization."
