London event alert!🚨

Join us for our next Inaugural Lecture Series with Professor Catherine Dolan from the Department of Anthropology and Sociology and Professor Michael Charney from the Department of History.

Professor Dolan will explore how ideas of ethical capitalism, such as sustainability and fair markets, work in practice in East Africa. Drawing on field research, the lecture looks at how these schemes are adapted and challenged on the ground, and how they affect people’s everyday lives and social relationships.

Professor Charney will examine how the study of Southeast Asia has changed over time. His lecture will trace the rise and decline of area studies and will show how knowledge is now produced globally, not just in Western universities.

📅Thursday 4 June, 6-8 pm
📍SOAS Gallery Lecture Theatre
