Instruction is intensive. Classes are held from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm\, Mondays through Fridays.

SUMMARY:Public Speech on Gender\, Land and the Right to Food in Southeast Asia by Ben White
DESCRIPTION:A number of forces – including transnational land acquisitions\, domestic investors\, migrants\, conservation efforts\, and government policies – have come together in recent years to put commercial pressure on land across the world and encourage its commodification. This has accelerated processes of agrarian transition\, affecting rural livelihoods\, impacting food security and social relations. In South East Asia\, as elsewhere\, the commercialization of land and agriculture have also been accompanied by significant impacts on the rights to food and land. \nSome factors that are often neglected in academic and public discussions are the ways in which the outcomes of commercialization processes are unequally distributed and often dependent on identity attributes such as gender\, age\, class and ethnicity and while some benefit\, others lose out. This event – part of the six-year DEMETER (Droits et Egalité pour une Meilleure Economie de la Terre) research for development project funded by the Swiss Development Cooperation – will consider these issues. In particular\, it will highlight the intersection of gender\, land commercialisation\, generation and the right to food in selected countries in Southeast Asia\, namely Indonesia and Cambodia.  \nThe program\, organized by the Graduate Institute Geneva (IHEID)\, the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI)\, Chulalongkorn University Social Research Institute (CUSRI) and Southeast Asia (SEA) Junction\, consists of the following: \nProgram on 22 July at 6-7.30PM \nWelcome addresses by \n\nBabette P Resurrección\, Stockholm Environment Institute\nPrapart Pintobtang\, Director of Chulalongkorn University Social Research Institute and Associate professor of Political Science\, Chulalongkorn University\n\nModerator \n\nRosalia Sciortino\, IPSR\, Mahidol University & SEA Junction\n\nPublic Speech \n“At the intersection of gender\, generation and class: young women farmers in commercializing smallholder agriculture” \nBen White \nProfessor\, International Institute for Social Studies (ISS)\, The Hague  \nDiscussants: \n\nSaba Joshi\, PhD candidate at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies\, Geneva on how contestation over land is shaping political identities among women and indigenous minorities in Cambodia \nSara Vigil\, research fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute and PhD fellow at International Institute for Social Studies\, Erasmus University Rotterdam\, the Hague and University of Liege\, Belgium on climate change\, land grabs and migration in Cambodia and Senegal.\n\nQuestions & Answers \nPlease note that the event will be held at Chulalongkorn University\, Faculty of Political Science\, 6th floor\, Kasem-uttayanin building\, close to the entrance from Henri Dunant Road.
