Description

This roundtable celebrates Diane K. Mauzy’s many contributions to the study of Southeast Asian politics, in Canada and beyond. As the first female Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Dr. Mauzy’s work examined the shifting landscape of ethnic coalition politics and the development of dominant political party systems in Malaysia and Singapore, respectively. This long overdue roundtable brings together friends, colleagues, and past students share how Diane Mauzy’s work has informed their approaches to Southeast Asia. Together, they paint a picture of her enduring contributions to understanding politics in Southeast Asia and an indelible legacy as a scholar, teacher, and mentor. The panel will consist of brief paper presentations by five of Diane’s former students and colleagues, and will be complemented by brief videos shared by folks around the world that are unable to attend in person.
