SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. A Biography of Decolonization in Cold War Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:This paper revisits mid-20th century Asia\, Southeast Asia especially when the promise of decolonization met the perils of the Cold War. Theoretically\, it argues for an eventful geography of decolonization based on the actions\, perspectives\, and biographies of historical actors. Empirically\, it discusses the life and work of Oey Hong Lee (1924-1992)\, a visionary intellectual\, activist\, and journalist from Indonesia. His Indonesian-language book “Asia Won in Dien Bien Phu” (1961) narrates the diplomatic and military struggles between France and Vietnam that ended the First Indochina War (1946-54). In dialog with anti-colonial theorists Aime Cesaire\, Frantz Fanon\, and others\, Oey advanced a regional understanding that balanced contextual nuance with geopolitical imperative. In contrast to his better-known contemporaries\, Oey focused on the regional tensions between decolonization and geopolitical struggle\, analyzing less the universalizing binary between colonizer and colonized and more the specific histories of place\, in this case\, Vietnam and Indonesia. In so doing\, he rejected the regional construct of Southeast Asia as a creature of American-led Cold War machinations in favor of an emancipatory idea of Asia positioned at the vanguard of decolonizing world order. All the while\, Oey navigated a political landscape in Indonesia that\, between 1955-65\, was roiling with Cold War intrigue\, nativist Islam\, and anti-Chinese sentiment that ultimately forced him into exile.\n\n If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact cseas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Other:DJ and Donuts Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss the dance party of the century at the Institute for Humanities! DJ Hunny will lead the celebration of Phung Huynh’s evocative artwork. Huynh explores the intersections of traditional Cambodian dance\, the immigrant experience\, doughnut shops\, and so much more. Whether you are chit-chatting with the artist herself\, exploring the gallery\, or simply feeling the music\, you’re guaranteed a wonderful evening. Bring yourself and a friend to dance the night away. Donuts and drinks will be provided\, and please register on Sessions at https://myumi.ch/kP4EQ.\n\nIn conjunction with the exhibition *Angkorian Homecoming*\, on view at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery March 20 - May 2\, 2025\, this dance party hosted by the Public Humanities Interns features DJ Hunny and artist Phung Huynh. DJ Hunny will serve as emcee for the event\, which will highlight how Cambodian communities celebrate through Romvong and music.\n\nHunny Hach is a second-generation Cambodian-American who was born in San Diego\, California and raised in Long Beach. Known to many by her stage name\, DJ Hunny\, she is a local artist who is also an active member of the Cambodian community. Hach has dj’d at many venues from Hollywood\, LA\, Orange County\, and Cambodia. Through her civic engagement she has worked with many grassroots organizations both locally and internationally to bridge the generation gap and to preserve Cambodian arts\, culture\, and history.\n\nPhung Huynh is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator with a practice in drawing\, painting\, public art\, and community engagement. Huynh’s work explores cultural perception and representation. She challenges beauty standards by constructing images of the Asian female body vis-à-vis plastic surgery to unpack how contemporary cosmetic surgery can whitewash cultural and racial identity. Her work of drawings and prints on pink donut boxes explores the complexities of assimilation and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. Huynh’s most recent work addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian statues in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. Fact Checking in Low-Resource Languages: A New Dataset and Transformer Model for the Burmese Language
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation on Burmese social media is a serious problem\, fueling hate speech and violence\, especially during the 2017 Rohingya genocide. Despite efforts by platforms like Facebook to restrain harmful content using Burmese-speaking moderators and some automatic tools\, a limited number of moderators working for these platforms are often overwhelmed by the amount of content to be fact checked. The goal of this research is to leverage AI and machine learning to create automatic fact checking tools to assist human moderators. The challenge we encountered is the lack of training data and effective machine learning models. We addressed this challenge by creating a large dataset and natural language processing (NLP) models for fact checking in Burmese. We translated the Fake News Challenge (FNC-1) dataset (originally in English) into Burmese using machine translation. We then trained and evaluated three BERT-based classifiers for fact checking in Burmese using the machine-translated dataset. We also evaluated the three classifiers using a manually annotated Burmese dataset for a comparison with machine-translated data. The top-performing model achieves high predictive performance on both machine-translated and manually annotated data\, with an accuracy comparable to that of human fact checkers. Our results show that BERT-based models trained specifically for Burmese perform better than those trained with multi-lingual data (i.e.\, general multilingual models). This research presents a crucial first step toward creating datasets and tools for fact checking in Burmese and other low resource languages to combat misinformation online.\n   \n   Lwin Moe is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering. As part of his Ph.D. dissertation\, he studies fact checking and misinformation detection using machine learning in general\, and natural language processing (NLP) in particular.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Anthropology presents its fall 2025 Roy A. Rappaport Lecture Series\, “Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism\,” with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\n\n“Existential crises hang over the producers of the world’s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines\, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets\, plantations unleash pesticide drift\, food waste\, water effluent\, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses\, using legal contracts\, scientific conventions\, and standards of trade to frame them as “external” to their supply chains. However\, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations’ peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag’s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures\, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures\, disguises\, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing\, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model\, inherited from generations of anthropologists\, inside-out.”\n\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall. They are free and open to the public. \n\nFriday\, Sept. 12\nElses and Externalities: The Un/Making of Plantation Capitalism \n\nFriday\, Oct. 10\nRejects: Food Cosmetic Standards and the Geopolitics of Waste\n\nFriday\, Nov. 14\nEffluent: Living Downstream of Yourself on the Mindanao River\n\nFriday\, Dec. 5\nForce Majeure: The See-Through Plantation\n\nVIRTUAL PARTICIPATION LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91475190155\n\nIf you need accommodations in order to attend\, please email anthro.exec.secretary@umich.edu.\n\nABOUT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR ALYSSA PAREDES\nAlyssa Paredes is an environmental and economic anthropologist with research interests at the intersection of industrial agriculture\, transnational supply chains\, and social mobilization between the Southern Philippines and Japan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series | Botany's (Un)making: Vernaculars of Plant Knowing in the Early 20th-Century Davao Gulf
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: http://myumi.ch/xwZ2d.\n\nThis talk addresses the first decades of U.S. colonization of the Philippines and institutions of botanical research aimed to scale up plantation-style production. It\, however\, extends beyond colonial conceits by offering a contrapuntal story by following a U.S. anthropologist conducting fieldwork among a Bagobo community in the Davao Gulf of Mindananao and the knowledge of weavers this anthropologist obtained. Combined\, the narratives present vernaculars of plant knowing within and outside of botany's disciplinary bounds and their transformations found within colonial agricultural expansion. This talk draws from the recently published *Unmaking Botany: Science and Vernacular Knowledge in the Colonial Philippines* (Duke\, 2025) by Kathleen Cruz Gutierez (History\, University of California\, Santa Cruz).\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series | Citizens or Subjects? : The Paradox of Citizenship and Subjecthood in a Southeast Asian Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:This is virtual event. Zoom registration is required: http://myumi.ch/A1bGx\n\nBrunei is the last absolutist kingdom in Southeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific. Often\, Bruneians are portrayed as passive\, docile subjects of the Sultan\, but the reality is far more nuanced. This lecture reveals a surprising paradox: Bruneians are both citizens and subjects at the same time. I argue that this hybrid status\, which I term 'civic subjecthood\,' compels Bruneians to constantly negotiate their political lives\, balancing their status as subjects with subtle acts of citizenship\, often in the form of ‘quiet activism.’ Tracing the historical development of this dual identity from the twentieth century to the present day\, this lecture explores how a composite system of (neo)traditional and modern governance was invented by the British during indirect rule and later inherited by the Sultan upon independence. Ultimately\, understanding this process not only provides insight into how people perform political life in Brunei's unique system but also offers a new lens for examining how individuals operate under other authoritarian monarchies in the modern world.\n\nMu'izz Abdul Khalid is a Research Associate at the Global Awareness and Impact Alliance (GAIA)\, specializing in authoritarian monarchies and Southeast Asian studies. He brings extensive experience\, having served as a 2024-25 Fung Global Fellow at Princeton University and an adjunct lecturer at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD). He received his graduate training from the National University of Singapore and University College London.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series | \"What Strange Woman is Here?\": Laura Benedict's Fieldwork among the Bagobos of the Southern Philippines\, 1906-1908
DESCRIPTION:For fourteen months between 1906 and 1908\, the American anthropologist Laura Benedict was conducting participant observation fieldwork among the Bagobos of Mindanao\, a people infamous in the colonial anthropological imaginary for their practice of human sacrifice\, but likewise for the richness of their material culture. Benedict's work has largely been overshadowed by her physical and mental breakdown resulting from the grueling conditions she faced in the field\, but likewise\, Fernandez argues\, was a situation that stemmed from her intense commitment not only to the work of research\, but also to her deep identifications with the Bagobos. According to her contemporaries\, her later fieldwork was characterized by an increasing \"paranoia\" towards the American hemp planters of the region\, whose incursions\, she believed\, caused \"a severe crisis in [the Bagobos'] tribal history\,\" representing a breakdown of their \"traditional\" way of life\, thus looking on in horror at the Bagobos' acculturation. This talk analyzes Benedict's fieldwork to make sense of the early history of anthropological fieldwork in the American colonial Philippines by contextualizing Benedict's fieldwork praxis through her gendered experiences of research\, and examining the way that the Bagobos of Mindanao invited\, of their own volition\, Benedict's participation in their cultural and religious life.\n   \n   Juan Fernandez is assistant professor of Southeast Asian history at the University of Wisconsin - Madison\, where he is working on his first book project\, \"Becoming Natives\,\" which is a history of how gender and ethnographic fieldwork intertwine to produce anthropological knowledge in the early twentieth century in the American Philippines.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Anthropology presents its fall 2025 Roy A. Rappaport Lecture Series\, “Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism\,” with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\n\n“Existential crises hang over the producers of the world’s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines\, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets\, plantations unleash pesticide drift\, food waste\, water effluent\, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses\, using legal contracts\, scientific conventions\, and standards of trade to frame them as “external” to their supply chains. However\, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations’ peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag’s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures\, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures\, disguises\, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing\, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model\, inherited from generations of anthropologists\, inside-out.”\n\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall. They are free and open to the public. \n\nFriday\, Sept. 12\nElses and Externalities: The Un/Making of Plantation Capitalism \n\nFriday\, Oct. 10\nRejects: Food Cosmetic Standards and the Geopolitics of Waste\n\nFriday\, Nov. 14\nEffluent: Living Downstream of Yourself on the Mindanao River\n\nFriday\, Dec. 5\nForce Majeure: The See-Through Plantation\n\nVIRTUAL PARTICIPATION LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91475190155\n\nIf you need accommodations in order to attend\, please email anthro.exec.secretary@umich.edu.\n\nABOUT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR ALYSSA PAREDES\nAlyssa Paredes is an environmental and economic anthropologist with research interests at the intersection of industrial agriculture\, transnational supply chains\, and social mobilization between the Southern Philippines and Japan. Her book manuscript\, tentatively titled “Bananapocalypse: An Ethnography of the Commodity for the 21st Century\,” is under contract with the University of California Press. Additionally\, her work appears in journals in anthropology\, history\, geography\, food studies\, and Asian studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series | How Ethnic Rebellion Begins: Theory and Evidence from Myanmar
DESCRIPTION:Since independence\, most of the ethnic minority groups in Myanmar—though not all—have rebelled against the central government\, making it home to the most simultaneous and longest ongoing armed conflict in the world. In this talk\, Jangai Jap tracks the origins of armed ethnic organizations in Myanmar and argue that political exclusion—a primary grievance widely thought to motivate ethnic rebellion—played a rather minimal role in the onset of ethnic rebellions. Instead\, what distinguishes ethnic groups in rebellion from other ethnic minority groups is the claim of having an ethnic “homeland” within Myanmar. Individuals from such ethnic groups form nascent armed groups\, which are then fostered and supported by more established ethnic armed organizations. Jap illustrates this dynamic through the role of the Karen National Union and the Kachin Independence Organization in the proliferation of robust ethnic armed organizations in Myanmar.\n   \n   Jangai Jap is an assistant professor in the Department of International Affairs at the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs. She researches ethnic politics\, nationalism\, minority-state relations\, and Burma/Myanmar politics. Her ongoing work examines interethnic relations\, bureaucratic experiences\, and ethnic rebellion. Previously\, she was an early career provost fellow in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin and a postdoctoral fellow in the Politics of Race and Ethnicity Lab. She holds a Ph.D. in political science from George Washington University and a B.A. in Judaic studies and political science from Yale University.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.
