The LSE Saw Swee Hock Southeast Asia Centre is hosting a Southeast Asia Discussion Series (SEADS) seminar chaired by SEAC Director Prof. Hyun Bang Shin on 6th June 2019, 4.30-6pm.
The speaker will be Sujee Jung, PhD candidate at Rutgers University, USA, reporting on her field research on the Red River development project in Hanoi, with a particular focus on the creative use of a personal memoir as part of her PhD thesis, which will be of interest to anybody involved in field research. Dr Catalina Ortiz (Bartlett Development Planning Unit, UCL) will act as Discussant for the session.
Title: Situating Planners’ Everyday Life: Personal Memoir of International Planning Fieldwork for the Red River Development Project in Hanoi, Vietnam
Abstract: This presentation introduces a personal memoir as scholarly experimentation to weave agency of planning stakeholders into a larger structure of society, environment, politics and institutional culture (Mill, 2000; Whatmore, 2002). In my personal memoir, I share my international fieldwork experiences as a participant observant in reviewing design proposals for the Red River Development Project at Hanoi Urban Planning Institute in Vietnam in 2017. As a planning researcher situated within Vietnamese planning office, I investigated the dynamics of the positionality, identity, and power relations as a critical factor in shaping institutional communications over the planning issues of flood mitigation strategies, land use planning and development visions for the Red River Development Project.
Refreshments will be provided.
This event is free and open to all but prior registration is required via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lse-southeast-asia-discussion-series-red-river-development-project-in-hanoi-tickets-62346214205
