From Dot to Globe:
Information, Identity and the Invention of Singapore

With increasing knowledge of globalisation and its effects, people all over the globe have begun to conceive of themselves as actors and participants in events beyond their personal lives or even the borders of their nation-states.

However, in heavily-censored Singapore, outlets for such emotions are taking on political meanings that have the potential to disrupt the regulations and state-constructed image of society.

This Lecture Series, by creating a forum for prominent, self-driven Singaporeans to meet with Singaporean students from North-eastern USA, aims to create a conducive environment in which to discuss this process and its social, political and economic ramifications on Singapore.
