SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED - CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | After the War: Vietnamese Memory\, Identity\, and the Unfinished Stories of Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:We are sorry to announce that our upcoming CSEAS lecture feature Lê Vân scheduled for 11/20 at 12 pm has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please spread the word to anyone who was planning on attending. \n\nWe hope to offer this event again in another semester and will follow up once a new date is confirmed. Thank you for your understanding.\n\n-----\n\nWhat happens to a war after the war is over?\n\nVietnamese journalist and documentary filmmaker Van Le reflects on the Vietnam War through the memories of those who lived through it. Drawing on her years of reporting and documentary filmmaking\, she explores how the war continues to shape Vietnamese identity\, relationships\, and understandings of the past—both in Vietnam and across the diaspora. The talk focuses on personal memories of loss\, fear\, displacement\, loyalty\, and silence\, and how trauma is remembered\, carried\, and passed across generations.\n\nVan Le is an investigative journalist\, author\, and independent documentary filmmaker based in Vietnam. She is a 2026–2027 Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow at the University of Michigan. She was a reporter for the acclaimed documentary The Stringer and has contributed environmental reporting to ProPublica. She previously worked as a feature writer and investigative journalist for Thanh Nien Newspaper\, a national news outlet in Vietnam.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Between the Nitu and New Faiths: Understanding Local Religious Worlds and the Appeal of Conversion in Early Modern Eastern Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held virtually on Zoom. Registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/nVJ7b\n\nBetween the late fifteenth and early seventeenth centuries\, the islands of Southeast Asia’s eastern archipelago—particularly those within Indonesia’s present-day provinces of Maluku\, North Maluku\, and East Nusa Tenggara—became the site of overlapping and competitive processes of Islamization and Christianization. The peoples of the region actively interpreted\, adapted\, and integrated these faiths within existing cultural\, political\, and spiritual frameworks. Understanding these encounters\, however\, requires reconstructing the religious worlds of communities that left few written records of their own. Scholars must therefore critically examine missionary and colonial accounts alongside nineteenth- and twentieth-century ethnographies\, remaining attentive to observers’ biases and the historical changes separating these sources. Focusing on Ambon\, North Maluku\, and Flores\, this talk explores how to uncover earlier understandings of relations between humans and spirits (nitu)\, ritual obligations\, and cosmological dualism. It also considers how these understandings shaped the appeal of Islam and Christianity and the meanings of conversion\, as people negotiated new teachings and practices alongside established beliefs and obligations.\n\nBENJAMIN L. MOSELEY earned his PhD. in history from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in Spring 2026. His dissertation examined patterns of religious conversion and the relationships among Christianity\, Islam\, and local belief systems in early modern eastern Indonesia.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
