Please join the East Asia Center for a special Nelson lecture on Southeast Asia, "Propaganda and Public Opinion Manipulation in Southeast Asia's Cybersphere" with Professors Ward Berenschot and Yatun Sastamidjaja.

Ward Berenschot is a professor of comparative political anthropology at the University of Amsterdam and a senior researcher at KITLV. Studying politics in India and Indonesia, his research focuses on the role of money and informality in election campaigns, while a second field of research concerns the character of civil society and citizenship in these countries.

Yatun Sastramidjaja is Assistant Professor in Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam, where she also obtained her Ph.D and Master’s degrees in Anthropology. Previously she held research and teaching positions at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her main research interests include youth and student activism, political culture, democratisation, citizenship, popular cultures, heritage and memory, and digital cultures and politics in Indonesia, and more broadly Southeast Asia, in a transnational context.

The event will be held online, Friday, November 18, from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m.
