SUMMARY:The Significance of Small Things: Towards a History of Dam Buildin
 g in the Twentieth Century - Arunabh Ghosh (Harvard University)

DESCRIPTION:By the turn of the twenty-first century China was home to fort
 y percent (one in three) of the world’s large dams. Striking as that inf
 rastructural and environmental feat is\, it tends to elide an equally rema
 rkable investment in building small hydro power during the same period. By
  1981\, there were well over 80\,000 small hydropower dams in the country.
  In this talk\, I explore this latter history\, situating it within the po
 litical economy and environmental history of the People’s Republic of Ch
 ina.
