LERRN is pleased to share the following event announcement on behalf of Alice Nah and the Migration and Mobility in the Asia Pacific (MMAP) research cluster at Monash University Malaysia:
The Migration and Mobility in the Asia Pacific (MMAP) research cluster at Monash University Malaysia cordially invite you to the Interdisciplinary Dialogue #1 on lifestyle migration, which will be held online on the 21st of September 2022.
This is the first in a series of three online dialogues – focused on lifestyle migration, forced migration, and labour migration – co-organised by Dr Sharuna Verghis (Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Monash University Malaysia), Dr Sin Yee Koh (Institute of Asian Studies, Universiti Brunei Darussalam) and Associate Professor Alice Nah (Centre for Social Justice and Community Action, Durham University).
In the dialogues, we ask scholars in Asia to reflect on their experiences in conducting interdisciplinary research and in navigating their positionality as researchers located in the Asia Pacific region, producing knowledge about the region for local audiences. These dialogues explore the development of innovative conceptual and methodological frameworks that stimulate research that accounts for the complex, multidimensional, and multilevel nature of migration and mobility. These dialogues also explore issues and challenges in the decolonisation of knowledge and power in migration research.
The three panelists for the Interdisciplinary Dialogue #1 on lifestyle migration are:
- Associate Professor Dr. Sirijit Sunanta (Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia, Mahidol University, Thailand)
- Associate Professor Mayumi Ono (Department of English Language and Literature, Notre Dame Seishin University, Japan)
- Dr Anindita Majumdar (Department of Liberal Arts, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, India)
Please note: Event times are displayed on the LERRN website in Eastern Daylight Time (UTC -4). This event will be held in Malaysian Standard Time (UTC +8).
