I approach land as a web of social relationships that entangle peasant farmers, state officials, civil society groups, and plantation capitalists. The book addresses how and why ties to land are socialized in different orientations, particularly for capital versus the peasantry.

The book examines the politically contested development of Chinese and Vietnamese pulpwood and rubber plantations on the lands of Indigenous Brou people in Southern Laos. It is based on in-depth ethnographic research during a land rush facilitated by the Lao government.

This is a great piece on how Melbourne Uni's anti-racism strategy has been captured by elites and used as a tool against pro-Palestine academics and students

We are excited to announce that over 10% of AAG members have signed onto the GJP petition!

We're not done yet -- this week, we're making a final push to make sure we blow past that number. Especially if you've already signed, could you share the petition link with colleagues by April 11?

These travel security notifications that the uni sends us are actually an amazing way to find out about local protests to attend..

Launching our federal election launch at Brunswick Town Hall now.

The very idea of so many incredible geography friends and colleagues at the University of Wollongong being in scope for possible redundancy next month is absolutely gut wrenching www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11... 1/5
