Supported by the Luce Foundation, Chiang Mai University Faculty of Social Science, and the University of Wisconsin – Madison Center for Southeast Asian Studies, the Decolonizing Southeast Asia Studies Conference will be held 17-19 July at Chiang Mai University’s Uniserv. Organized by RCSD, over 200 presenters and observers from throughout the region will come together for a diverse range of panels, roundtables, and keynote presentations. They will examining the challenges of decolonization from different vantage points: from within Southeast Asian nation states, from the viewpoint of Western academia with its baggage of direct colonization, and the position of indigenous peoples living under the shadow of both of these contexts.
