The ACS Institute 2023 will discuss the question of decolonization in 
the 21st century. We face the drastic increase of international 
migration, stateless persons, the prolonged pandemic, extensive digital 
surveillance, extended platform economy, the precarity of temporary 
laborers on land and at sea, environmental crisis, and climate change. 
Along with these developing conditions, the intensified social 
inequality worldwide also escalates.

*The ACS Institute 2023 will feature, but is not limited to, the 
following four interconnected dimensions:*
/(I) Global Capitalism and Technologies of Governance/
/(II) Marginalized Population, Stateless Persons, and Migrant Labors/
/(III) Environmental Justice/Injustice /
/(IV) Social Engagement and Art Intervention/

The Institute will offer lectures, seminars, roundtables, and workshops 
for participants to spend the week learning from one another. The 
following *keynote speakers* have been confirmed: *Ranabir Samaddar* 
(Distinguished Chair, Migration and Forced Migration Studies, Calcutta 
Research Group, India), *Pun Ngai* (Chair Professor, Department of 
Cultural Studies, Lingnan University, Hong Kong), *Ruba Salih*
