MDMP project members Ane Bislev and Jesper Zeuthen proposed a panel at the upcoming conference “Generation Asia” in Iceland, and both Rachel Douglas-Jones and Hailing Zhang will present work.

 

The conference theme:

How is generational change transforming society, culture and politics across Asia? Does a creative, iconoclastic Generation Z pose a major challenge to traditional hierarchies and values? What is the impact of demographic change in countries with a rapidly aging population? Is there something we can learn from Asian traditions of intergenerational exchange?

The 2022 Nordic NIAS Council conference will be organized by the Vigdís Finnbogadóttir Institute for Foreign Languages at the University of Iceland, Reykjavík, in collaboration with the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies.
