Webinars

The LuceSEA Transitions project and our collaborators have organized a yearly series of webinars throughout this project. These webinars were created with the intention of growing regional networks of scholars, practitioners and creatives working on Southeast Asia; providing platforms for early-career colleagues, especially those Southeast Asia-based to share their research; and highlighting new interdisciplinary research on environmental transitions in Southeast Asia. 


Please join us for our first Spring 2026 LuceSEA Transitions Webinar: 

Facing Nature: Disaster Preparedness, Responses, and innovations in Southeast Asia

Wednesday, February 4, 2026, 3:00–4:30 PM (HST)
