ASEAS Conference

*Sadly due to the COVID19 pandemic we are no longer able to hold the conference in September 2020. More details about its new dates and venues will be announced when they are made available.* 

The Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre will host the 50th Anniversary Conference of the Association of Southeast Asian Studies (UK) at LSE.

Conference overview:

Today’s Southeast Asia is an increasingly prosperous region. Technological innovation, education, new investments in infrastructure – countries in the region have much to celebrate. At the same time, significant sections of the region’s population are experiencing ever more precarious lives. The challenges posed by the climate crisis, natural hazards, resource appropriations, urbanisation, industrial expansion and; political conflict can fall disproportionately on those on the margins. What needs to be changed to create shared and sustainable prosperity?

ASEAS50@LSE will explore this question across a series of interdisciplinary panels, framed by keynote speeches from leading experts on the rapid transformation of Southeast Asia. 

Questions can be sent to ASEASUK50@gmail.com
