Panel Sessions 2022

Each country in Southeast Asia has its own native tongue(s) — the language(s) common to those who born and raised there. Our panels for this inaugural cycle of the program revolved around core ideas encapsulated in regional colloquialisms, grounded in the awareness that the linguistic quirks of each country - which reflect wider, cultural idiosyncrasies - yield valuable inroads into understanding the region. They thus serve as unique starting points for reflecting on and engaging with our region.
