Organizer: SEACoast

Kalyanee Mam will share and speak about her short film, Lost Worlds.

The film shows how the dredging of sand in Cambodia feeds the foundations of Singapore's development projects, while altering the social and ecological bases of survival for coastal communities in Cambodia. The film screening will be followed by brief comments from Gonzalo Carrasco (Environmental Chemistry) and Kirk Lange (Human Geography), each of whom will share their knowledge and experience of land reclamation at their respective fieldsites in Singapore and Bali. The slow seminar will be a space to build on these contributions and enrich our thinking about the social, ecological, and environmental entanglements of land reclamation.

No reading preparation or prior knowledge of the topic or region is required for this event. Simply come and get to know SEACoast, what the process of a slow seminar conversation between different fields might look like, and learn with us about the complexities of environmental change in Southeast Asia.

We hope to see you there!
