    The speaker will discuss his research on West Papua's resistance movement against Indonesian occupation and globalization. Through his study, he found that the movement's primary strategy is collaboration rather than resistance, as the revolutionaries work to build coalitions inside powerful institutions and with unexpected allies, including many Indonesians. The talk is part of a seminar series presented by the Culture in Global Affairs Program at George Washington University on April 12 from 5:30-6:30pm.

    The CIGA Seminar Series presents

    Freedom in Entangled Worlds:


    West Papua and the Architecture of Global Power
    by

    Eben Kirksey
    Mellon Fellow and Visiting Assistant Professor City University of New York Graduate Center

    Eben Kirksey first went to West Papua in 1998 as an exchange student. During his later study of West Papuas resistance to Indonesian occupiers and the forces of globalization, he discovered that collaboration, rather than resistance, was the primary strategy of this dynamic social movement. The revolutionaries have a knack for getting inside institutions of power and building coalitions with unlikely allies, including many Indonesians.
