DATE
Thursday February 27, 2025 - Thursday April 3, 2025
TIME
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

The Centre for Southeast Asian Research, with the co-sponsorship of the Global History of Anti-Colonial Thought Research Excellence Cluster and the UBC Myanmar Initiative, warmly invites members of the UBC community and public to our event series Histories of Anti-Colonial Thought in Southeast Asia. In recognition of the 70th anniversary of the Bandung Afro-Asian Conference, the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second Indochinese War and the 25th anniversary of the Timorese independence referendum, the series Histories of Anti-Colonial Thought in Southeast Asia aims to bring various Southeast Asian genealogies of anti-colonial thought into conversation and spotlight them for the broader UBC community and public. The series will provoke conversation about underexplored lineages of anti-colonialism and democracy within the academy and popular discourse in anticipation of the Anticolonial Ideas of the Global Symposium held by the Global History of Anti-Colonial Thought Research Excellence Cluster in April 2025.
