The Department of History and Philosophy, University of the Philippines Baguio, the Airlangga Institute for Indian Ocean Studies (AIIOC), and the International Consortium for Indian Ocean Studies (ICIOS) warmly invite you to the webinar "Discourses of Work across the Indian Ocean."

"Work" is often narrowly framed through economic productivity, formal employment, and measurable outputs. Yet across the Indian Ocean world, labour is deeply embedded in social, historical, ecological, and political realities that exceed these conventional definitions. From care work and informal economies to subsistence practices, migration, and mobile livelihoods, work is shaped by intersecting forces such as gender relations, colonial legacies, environmental change, and uneven development.

Bringing together scholars working across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and African contexts, this webinar foregrounds grounded and interdisciplinary perspectives that challenge dominant understandings of labour. By situating everyday experiences of work within wider histories of mobility, trade, and cultural circulation across the Indian Ocean, the event seeks to open new conversations on labour, inequality, and transregional connection.

The webinar also aims to foster sustained scholarly exchange and future collaboration while contributing to broader efforts to decolonise and diversify labour studies.
