Perspectives Asia #10 launch event

In autumn 2021, the Covid-19 global pandemic lingers on even though vaccinations are getting pace. The 10th issue of Heinrich Böll Stiftung (hbs)'s serial publication Perspectives Asia takes a look at how the pandemic is reshaping state/society relationships in different Asian countries; it also shares down-to-earth Covid-19 experiences from different regions and cultures, on issues as diverse as trust in government institutions, the situation of migrant workers, and gender relationships. 

In the online event, several contributors to this issue of Perspectives Asia will discuss their work and observations on the Covid-19 pandemic. While there is no definite end to the pandemic yet, this event serves as a celebration of mutual support and resilience among hbs colleagues, partners, and stakeholders in Europe and Asia as we live through the pandemic.

Speakers:

• Ms Moe Thuzar, Fellow, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore
• Dr Kaustubh Deka, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Dibrugarh University, India
• Dr Jeong-Hyun Lee, ICTD Fellow, United Nations University Institute in Macau, Macau S.A.R.

Moderator: 

• Dr Axel Harneit-Sievers, Director, Heinrich Böll Stiftung, Hong Kong S.A.R.

Perspectives Asia #10 can be downloaded from August 31 on our website. An overview of the content is available here.
