The ACS Institute 2023 will discuss the question of decolonization in 
the 21st century. We face the drastic increase of international 
migration and stateless persons, the prolonged pandemic, extensive 
digital surveillance, the prevalence of extended platform economies, 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 Populations, Stateless Persons, and Migrant Laborers/
/(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* (Professor, Department of Anthropology and Sociology, SOAS 
University of London, UK), *Tess Lea* (Head, Department of Community, 
Culture and Global Studies, University of British Columbia, Okanagan, 
Canada) and *Ken Kawashima* (Associate Professor, East Asian Studies,
