Location

Merete Barker Lecture Theatre (lakesidebuilding)

In his lecture Professor Duara will address the dense networks of trade and religion, which historically has connected the regions of Asia. While there is an emerging consensus that continuing our pursuit of existing modes of production and consumption will endanger planetary sustainability sooner than we realize, Professor Duara seeks to demonstrate how the networks of political, cultural and civil society organizations in Asia can provide an alternate framework to rethink the future of the historical region from the perspective of sustainable modernity.

The lecture is conducted in English
