ASNS2669: Field Study of Southeast Asia
2023 unit information
Students will travel to Southeast Asia to undertake supervised, in-country field study. Focusing on a complex, real-world issue (e.g. urbanisation, women's empowerment, disability and social inclusion), students will consider the issue from a multidisciplinary perspective, including geographical, political, economic, social and cultural. While in the destination country, students will work in small multidisciplinary groups to conduct a mini research project. *Note that this unit is subject to travel and health advice at the time the unit is offered and may be delivered virtually.
