This year’s summer school, titled "Chinese Infrastructures and Common Visions of Wealth", will be held at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, from early to mid-August. It is organized by the institute's Chair in the Anthropology of Globalization in collaboration with the China-Southeast Asia Studies Center at Chiang Mai University.

The summer school will bring together selected Master’s and PhD students from both Cologne and Chiang Mai Universities for a week of lectures, seminars, and a two-day excursion to the border region of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand.

We are currently applying for funding to cover travel and living expenses for participating students from Cologne.
