[Recording] Dams and Difference in Ethnic Lao Spaces of the Mekong River Basin

For ethnic Lao living along the Mekong River and its tributaries, hydropower dams have negatively impacted their lives and livelihoods. Many impacts, however, remain invisible in social and environmental impact assessments but have profound repercussions for the well-being of these communities. This talk by Akarath Soukhaphon, Geography PhD Candidate at University of Wisconsin-Madison, makes visible some of these impacts among ethnic Lao communities in and around the Pak Mun Dam in northeastern Thailand, the Don Sahong and Xe Pian Xe Namnoy Dams in southern Laos, and the Lower Sesan 2 Dam in northeastern Cambodia.
