Description:

In this segment of the Luce Southeast Asia in Transition Webinar Series, experts explore the story of development from varied perspectives, putting local interactions with the development paradigm and the more-than-human world into a broad conversation. Speakers include academic, practitioner, and local voices. Infrastructure projects are often seen as a sign of economic progress. In this webinar we will discuss how development acts upon land, reflecting upon the many consequences, intended or unintended, of actions such as building a road across a landscape that is home to both human and more-than-human residents.
