the seventy-ninth episode of ventriloquy is a recording of a panel presentation on the impact of globalization on the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, and the Mekong Delta.
the discussion took place under the auspices of the International Geographical Union regional network on Southeast Asia, Australasia and the Southwest Pacific (SEAASWP). It was chaired by Professor Ooi Giok Ling of the National Institute of Education, and my fellow panelists were the coordinator of SEAASWP - Associate Professor Philip Hirsch of the University of Sydney, Professor Doracie Nantes of the University of the Philippines Diliman, and Dr Georgina Numbasa of the University of Papua New Guinea.
