- Title: Lesson Plan: The Contested Archive
- Creator: Dr. Eric Schluessel
- Subject: Lesson Plan
- Language: English
- Item Type: Document
- Description: In conjunction with the Xinjiang Victims Database, students will analyze primary sources to develop their own understanding of the situation based the evidence at hand. This is a “history of the present” exercise in which students will spend a class period conducting simulated research in a “Xinjiang archive.” They will begin with a simple question—“What is happening in Xinjiang?”—and come to their own conclusions through a guided activity. Prof. Schluessel’s research focuses on the social and economic history of Xinjiang. He has published a monograph on the Qing empire’s efforts to transform Xinjiang into a culturally Chinese territory, Land of Strangers: The Civilizing Project in Qing Central Asia, as well as articles on the region’s experiences with local government and the law.

These public spaces are important in people’s daily life and also for the state’s effective surveillance and monitoring of any unwanted behaviors and speech.

- Title: Pan-halalization: 泛清真化 (Fàn qīngzhēn huà)
- Creator: Xinjiang Documentation Project
- Language:
- Item Type: Sound File
- Description: This is an audio recording of how to pronounce 泛清真化 (Fàn qīngzhēn huà). “Pan-halalization” is the term used by the CCP to describe the labeling of non-food items such as toothpaste, soap, paper, and other products as halal. In a piece published by the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Food and Drug Administration titled “The Essence of ‘Pan-halalization’ is Religious Extremist Thinking,” Tsinghua PhD student Tursun Ebey contends that deradicalization and depan-halalization go hand in hand in the CCP’s efforts to promote long-term peace and security in the region. In addition to monetary interests, the piece suggests, extremist influences have encouraged pan-halalization to bypass state deradicalization efforts and promote a version of Islam not sanctioned by the state. Authorities also worry that pan-halalization sows division and encourages Uyghurs to avoid Han-run stores. State efforts to combat pan-halalization have led to the confiscation of everyday items associated with Islam. According to a June 2017 report on an exhibit dedicated to the “Three Illegals and One Product” (三非一品), these objects include water jugs, culinary implements, religious texts, prayer rugs, “restricted knives” (管制刀具), and explosive materials.
