[GEOG MAJORS] Research Talk Invite

[Nell Gross via geogu-l]

Final research talk from Geography's Displacement and Migration position.  Sopheak Chann will join us next week on Monday, November 25, 1:00-2:15 in Smith 404 on his research talk, Grasping onto Land: The Emotional Political Ecology of Land on the Tonle Sap Lake Wetlands.

Sopheak Chann holds a PhD in Geography and MS in GIScience, both from the University of Sydney, and is currently a lecturer in Geography at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Chann's research program intersects critical migration and displacement studies, countermapping and GIS, and political ecology, in the context of climate change and authoritarian politics in Southeast Asia. His work integrates critical perspectives on political ecology, counter mapping, GIS, and environmental change, offering a strong contribution to our curriculum. His research in Cambodia involves long-term partnerships with Indigenous and agrarian activists organizing against marginalization by state, capital and development enterprises. Dr. Chann's research has been funded by the Luce Foundation, Royal Holloway University of London, a Mekong Next Generation Fellowship and others. He's published his work in the Journal of Political Ecology, Journal of Peasant Studies, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Environment and Planning, and others.

Please consider attending!
