On 26 and 27 April 2012 we will hold a conference here at ARI. The title is "Modes of Activism and Engagement in the Chinese Public Sphere". Please find more information here. Do contact me if you have any questions.

On 29 and 30 September 2011 we have invited 24 scholars to present papers that lie at the nexus of the topics that comprise the title: "Asia's Civil Spheres: New Media, Urban Public Space, Social Movements." I have co-organized the workshop with Rita Padawangi from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Please find the programme and abstracts on the  ARI Website.
