Description

"Culture and Conservation in Indonesia and Malaysia" is the topic of our first Southeast Asia Symposium at the University of Puget Sound, and focuses on disseminating knowledge and insights gained during our LIASE pilot project, while cultivating interest in Southeast Asian culture, language and environment across campus. It also inaugurates the start of our second field course with a detailed interest meeting and application distribution; the new course will be held in Spring 2015, and incorporate travel to Malaysia for three weeks at the end of the semester. To begin shifting our focus toward Malaysia, we are pleased to have Professor Ravichandran Moorthy visiting us from Universitas Kebangsaan Malaysia to deliver our keynote lecture on environmental ethics and security in the Asia Pacific. We are also pleased that seven of the ten students who participated in the pilot project's field course, directed and taught by Professor Gareth Barkin in spring/summer 2014, were able to return to campus to present the research they conducted during the semester as well as in Yogyakarta and North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Beyond developing interest in Malaysian culture and environment through our keynote talk, our goal in this first Southeast Asia Symposium is to raise awareness of our Luce Foundation sponsored program of field-school courses and related initiatives in the region by allowing students to share their research, experience, and insights with their peers. We hope to be able to continue, expand, and improve our future symposia with expertise from around the Pacific Northwest, cultural performance and cuisine, as well as guest speakers and artists from Southeast Asia.
