Project
Southeast Asia in Transition: 2022 Webinar Series
 
In recent decades, people living in Southeast Asia have witnessed major shifts from predominantly subsistence agriculture to industrializing economies, with attendant changes in migration, crop production systems, and major infrastructure (roads, dams, industrial estates). This series of four webinars will explore how communities in the region are experiencing the economic, social, and cultural dislocations of these transformations. We will focus on forests, rivers, documentarians and writers, and Imaging Environmental Futures.
 
Registration links for the webinars in this series will be posted here as they become available. After each webinar, a link to the recording on YouTube will be posted.
