SEAC 2025-2026 Online Course and Field School Information Session: Climate change, sustainability and geography

Wednesday, March 19, 2025
Program: 12 – 1 PM EST
Location: Virtual

Faculty at SUNY and CUNY have joined together to create a Southeast Asia Consortium (SEAC) to promote research and teaching about the Southeast Asia region. The statewide SEAC project is funded by the Henry Luce Foundation. 

Each year over the past 2 years, SEAC has sponsored a 1-credit (online) course in the fall and a workshop in Southeast Asia on a topic of critical importance. Next academic year (2025-26) we will be focused on sustainability, and we will be visiting Viet Nam (Ho Chi Minh City) and Cambodia (Seam Reap) in January.  The three faculty members involved in this effort are Vida Vanchan (SUNY Buffalo), Michitake Aso (SUNY Albany) and Peter J. Marcotullio (CUNY Hunter College). 

This information session aims to provide information on the SUNY/CUNY Southeast Asia Consortium (SEAC) upcoming online course and field school including eligibility, application process and timeline.

Speakers:

• Dr. Michitake Aso, Associate Professor, Department of History, University at Albany, SUNY
• Dr. Peter J. Marcotullio, Professor and Director, Department of Geography and Environmental Science and CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities, Hunter College, CUNY
• Dr. Vida Vanchan, Professor and Director, Department of Geosciences and Global Studies Institute, Buffalo State University, SUNY
