Did you know that sand has a special importance to riverine systems? ⏳

The increasing demand for sand, used in concrete production and land reclamation, has led to what’s now known as the ‘sand crisis', specifically in the delicate Southeast Asia region.

Join us on Wednesday, April 10th, 2024, where we’ll dive into the secretive world of sand mining, its impact, and the crisis unfolding in Southeast Asia, particularly Myanmar.

York Centre for Asian Research (YCAR) Faculty Associate Vanessa Lamb will be a keynote speaker of Exalt Dialogues event series titled: Rivers, Sand Extractivism, and Disrupted Hydrosocial Relations!

🗓️ Wednesday, 10 April 2024
⏰ 08:00 to 09:15 EDT
📍 Online Zoom
🎫 Registration: https://buff.ly/43RSCfT

🗣️ Dr. Lamb will give a keynote talk on the extractive politics of sand mining. Vanessa has been at the forefront of studies on sand mining that link local political ecologies with broader political-economic processes. She has also raised criticism on how the current ‘sand crisis’ narrative declaring sand as a ‘rare’ and ‘disappearing’ resource may simplify and obscure complex relationships. Her insights are based on long-term fieldwork in Southeast Asia, particularly Myanmar.

📖 Mira Käkönen will begin the event by connecting sand grabbing with broader discussions on rivers and extractivisms. Thereafter Vanessa Lamb will deliver a keynote talk (40 mins) that addresses questions such as why is sand grabbing happening at unprecedented rates in particular locales; what are the implications, especially in terms of riverine livelihoods; how to make sense of the multi-scalar connections at stake; and what kinds of questions of justice and governance should be asked? Subsequently, Keith Barney will provide comments and engage in a discussion with Vanessa drawing on his extensive work on resource politics and various forms of extractivism in Southeast Asia before the floor is opened for questions and answers from the audience.
