18-19 June - Asian Dynamics Initiative - University of Copenhagen

Street picture

The 11th annual ADI conference continued the tradition of investigating Asian intra-regional and transregional connectivities. The multi-directional movement of people, ideas, things and technologies across space and time produces ever-changing configurations of human relationships, knowledge systems, and power relations. Through a focus on multiple connectivities and their impact on human perceptions, actions, knowledge paradigms and the material world, the conference expanded further understanding of the historical and contemporary significance of Asia in global contexts.

Welcome by Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen, Dean of The Faculty of Social Sciences
