Land and Labour in the Karen Hills: Cosmology and value in the study of agrarian change

Date and location:

13.30-15.00, 6 January 2021 (Thai time)

Chiang Mai University

This seminar looks at how agrarian change, labour and cultivation relate to local religion and cosmology amongst Karen peoples of the Hpapun Hills, straddling the Thai-Burma border. Land is used as a window through which to explore social relationships and processes of social change in an area with a subsistence cultivation driven economy. The seminar also aims to illustrate the value of using a more holistic, ethnographic approach to the study of ‘land’.

Speaker: Dominique Dillabough-Lefebvre, PhD Candidate in Anthropology at the London School of Economics

Moderator: Daniel Hayward, Mekong Land Research Forum

The event has been moved to online-only due to the rise in Covid-19 cases in Chiang Mai and university regulations on social distancing.
