Description: Engaging across disciplines and case studies from Southeast Asia, this webinar panel discussion centers migration as an entry point into understanding dynamic landscapes and livelihoods. Complex and varied, seasonal and long term, rural to urban, or distant and across borders, migration not only reshapes places of origin but also remake destinations in distinct ways. Refocusing on migration trends also presents insights into the often overlooked interconnectedness of a complex and rapidly changing region.
