Topic: "On the Edge: Pre-Doi Moi land relations in a suburban village of Hanoi"

Summary: This paper presents preliminary findings from a research exploring how a place called Hoa Muc, located in the suburbs of Hanoi, has shifted from being an agricultural village to become an urban neighborhood. The paper focuses on the evolution of land-uses and land relations since the colonial era in relation to class-reproduction, socio-economic differentiation, and the persistence of small-scale private-initiated economic activities.

Presenter: Danielle Labbé, PhD Candidate (School of Community and Regional Planning & Center for Southeast Asian Research - UBC Vancouver, Canada).

Time: 9:00 a.m., Tuesday, October 6, 2009.
