Title of Ms Jung's talk: Situating Planners’ Everyday Life: Personal Memoir of International Planning Fieldwork for the Red River Development Project in Hanoi, Vietnam

Abstract: This presentation introduces a personal memoir as scholarly experimentation to weave agency of planning stakeholders into a larger structure of society, environment, politics and institutional culture (Mill, 2000; Whatmore, 2002). In my personal memoir, I share my international fieldwork experiences as a participant observant in reviewing design proposals for the Red River Development Project at Hanoi Urban Planning Institute in Vietnam in 2017. As a planning researcher situated within Vietnamese planning office, I investigated the dynamics of the positionality, identity, and power relations as a critical factor in shaping institutional communications over the planning issues of flood mitigation strategies, land use planning and development visions for the Red River Development Project.

This event is free and open to all but registration is required via Eventbrite.

Refreshments will be provided.
