• On February 12, 2023, Student Life organized two field trips for students to explore the surrounding areas of Shanghai: Zhujiajiao and Guangfulin. The field trips were open to the whole student body. 55 and 78 students from different nationalities and class years participated in the trip to the Guangfulin Cultural Relic Park, and the Zhujiajiao water town respectively. The students in the Guangfulin group were amazed by both the architecture and the exhibits of the Guangfulin Culture Exhibition Hall which was built 6 meters underwater. They also visited the Guangfulin Archaeological Site Exhibition Hall and saw real relics at the archaeological site. Students not only learned the rich history and culture of Shanghai, but also enjoyed the fresh air, the beautiful nature scenes, and the internet-famous bookstore - Duo Yun Books in Guangfulin.

In a paper published last July in Negotiation and Conflict Management Research (NCMR), Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations David Hunsaker found that the point at which strong emotion is expressed during a business negotiation has a significant impact on the relationship between both parties. Anger expressed at an earlier stage doesn’t tend to hurt the relationship, but anger expressed later on in a negotiation often decreases the satisfaction of negotiators and damages their relationship.
“Most research treats anger like a binary variable — either it’s present in the negotiation or it’s not,” Hunsaker said. “We need to be a little more specific about whether anger is expressed at an earlier stage or a later stage. Not all anger behaves the same way.”

Speaker: Gherardo Bonini (Historical Archives of the European Union, Florence) Talk Convened by Professor Alexander C.T. Geppert. Since 1989, the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) in Florence have appraised, inventoried and made available a wealth of ESA’s historical records. In-depth research carried out by a team under the direction of John Krige as well as successive projects have extensively examined these archival resources covering the years up to 1987 but more recently processed holdings remain largely unexplored. This presentation offers an overview of what the archival collection concerning ESA's external relations has to offer for space historians. Special attention will be given to ESA’s collaboration with the European Union and the so-called Big Four: France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
