Against the Odds in Asia, 1901-2021: On Activists, Autocrats, Exiles and Empires in Several Eras<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This presentation, which will move between the early 20th century and the early 21st century, will explore some of the ways that people working for change in different parts of East and Southeast Asia have periodically paid close attention to one another’s causes and found ways to work together. The talk’s goal is to place into historical perspective recent visions of a “Milk Tea Alliance” linking struggles in Thailand and Myanmar with that in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Wasserstrom is the Chancellor’s Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is a part of the East Asian Studies Speaker Series<\/strong>. Each semester, the East Asian Studies Program invites several prominent scholars from a variety of disciplines to present research talks. We welcome faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, and others to join us for these talks. This semester, all talks will be in person (although the location will vary). \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
