Perspective Asia Lecture Series
Welcome to the Perspective Asia Lecture Series, a platform for scholars and experts from various fields to share their critical insights on the issues, emerging trends, and historical interconnections in the dynamic East and Southeast Asian region.
Join us this fall for a thought-provoking seminar series on critical Asian studies issues. Explore the political economy of the Rohingya genocide, the subaltern construction of American hegemony in East Asia, Indonesia's haunting anti-communist purge, the dynamics of Chinese-managed workplaces in Ethiopia, and the transformation of Korea's DMZ from a war zone to a symbol of peace. Engage with expert insights, learn, and shape the conversation on Asia's complex challenges and their global impact.
Location: The open lectures usually take place in the Asia Library (Sölvegatan 18B, 223 62 Lund) or on Zoom
